When I got to uni I thought Durdham was going to be dead (lol ‘deadham’) but it was actually the most amazing place and has made my first year. I got really lucky with all the people and my friendship group are almost all from Durdham but aside from the wonderful people, Durdham really is a great place. The music room is amazing (we even had a student band practise here all the time), the study area is pretty big and the common room has a pool table - we’d always do pres her. The actually rooms are great too - perfect size and having an en-suite is lush. The kitchens look a tad old but are huge so great for holding lots of people. I’ve loved it here!

Q
Is it as dead as everyone says, I need a second accommodation choice and I’m quite social?
By member1147440 On 20th April 20
In my experience it definitely was not dead, if you put yourself out there at the start of uni there is loads of people that want to go out and had fun. I loved my time at durdham so a good second choice

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Really nice location and good flat size
Social accommodation being in north village but definitely one of the lower value for money halls.
This accommodation was a little further away from the city centre and uni campus. But there a was uni bus that came regularly all through the night as well which was free for first year students living at this accom. The rooms were quite spacious and had a decent ensuite bathroom. With good kitchen spaces.
loved it! could sleep and enjoyed my en suite and nice view, but had a squirrel infestation

Durdham was horrible, i think a drug dealer lived next door to me super scary! Some nights were miserable due to lack of sleep caused by my twaty flatmates who were always on the "sesh" and refusing to stop smoking weed in the kitchen.
I moved to durdham halfway through the year and my experience has been a blast! It is super cosy, very nice, in the heart of Stoke Bishop which is probably the best place to spend the year. The hall has an old aspect but in a good way, and quite a bit is refurbished inside. I didn't experience much maintenance issues, and staff was super responsive when they were needed. The social aspect is certainly more limited than other halls as the flats are quite small (6 ppl) compared to Hiatt Baker with twice as more. However a nice flat will have you enjoy your time there. It is pricier than average but the rooms are ensuite and the kitchens are truly decent with everyone having their own mini fridge. For the same price you get the same type of room in the city centre but more modern, however a lot of stuff is broken there and it is much noiser.
I am currently at durdham hall and really enjoying my time here. It’s definitely not a ‘dead’ halls and there are lots of people that like going out. The flats are nice and spacious and the bar is good for playing Poole, darts and ping pong. Such a good location as stoke bishop is it’s own little student community so there’s always something going on.
Hi there all! Just want to put out there that Durdham is not “Deadham” actually very socialable cus we are all hiatt baker rejects also if you get Block A it’s refurbished and you get a double bed! It’s not GRIM I promise!! I’ll write another review later after freshers see ya later xox
I had heard all the bad reputation about Durdham before coming to Bristol but turns out a lot of us are just Hiatt Baker rejects so I didn't find it hard to make friends who like going out. Pros: en-suite, big kitchen and hall space, Stoke Bishop is like a campus if you want that kind of environment. Cons: High rent for what it's worth, the bar is usually quiet, need to get bus into uni, eduroam can be s***
Durdham has a reputation of being dead, quiet, and really rather s***. It does live up to this reputation. If you’re applying to Bristol, don’t apply to live here, unless you want to be in the worst halls that Bristol offer.
Got a bad reputation because there are certain people who don't engage with going out, however there are more than enough people if you put yourself out there to have a great time.
Very unsociable and quiet halls, hence the nickname 'deadham', 'boredham' and 'dulldham'. If someone asks what halls you are in, their reply to Durdham is normally 'oh I'm so sorry'. Having said this, if youre looking for a quiet uni experience with a guaranteed en suite it would be suitable. All the staff are very friendly and quick to deal with maintenance issues.
Rather small and homely. Excellent staff, nice facility, terrible DVD selection.
Was sick Yeah bad love day ting
Nice hall to live in with good rooms. Very quiet never much going on unfortunately.
Pros - guaranteed en suite, big kitchen space/ living area, in Stoke Bishop with the other halls so in a great social area but not near the bus stop so not too noisy, next to the tennis courts with decent car park Cons - stereotype of being quiet, mainly due to lack of common room/ decent bar, Stoke bishop further away from uni than the city centre accommodation
Great Hall, nice people, it's abit quieter than the other halls in Stoke bishop but still great :')
