I was a postgraduate student in 1992-1993. I did an LLM in Internarional Law. In 1992 the buildings were brandnew. I lived in Brandesburton house, first floor. Kitchen was not so confortable but it was enough good to have dinners with the other fellow students. To socialice we use to go with other fellow colleagues by 9 pm. to the Union. Taylor Court is really close to the University buildings. During weekends we used to go by bus or car to the City Center to the clubs ( discos ) there. The rest of the time we were studying. It is also close to the cashier machine of Barclays bank and to the supermarket. It was quiet and peaceful by that time. I had a great experience and time there.

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.

Very expensive, maintenance took too long to fix problems, silverfish but we do get free laundry
Very basic layout, no social spaces. If you don't get on with your floor you're stuffed.

Very handy location, no events held and nonsocial spaces
The communal space available is the kitchen - had many a cooking and film fests within that space. It gives a wonderful homely feel with large desks and big wardrobes and amazing bathrooms. Made amazing friends and more amazing memories. Perfect place to start my university adventure.
I was not able to be in halls because my course ran on longer than the contract
Recently has been refurbished, great social experience and have cleaners come every week to do your kitchen and toilet!
The halls I was staying in at the time weren’t refurbished which was a bit annoying and the room sizes were a bit small, although I really liked having an en-suite and the location was amazing too
I was at Westmount Hall. It was ok. There is not much to say about it; the wifi was ok, the value for money was ok (for what we got, it could have been cheaper). The cleaning was ok (we had to clean it ourselves. The washing facilities were ok, the location was ok (it was really close to the campus). However, the social experience was s***, for example, there was no common room. Also, the allocation to flats was weird, I went into a flat with some people from different courses yet there was a flat just next door which was made up of people from my own course. I found it really strange that they could not place us together from the start since it would have helped begin friendships.
Not really any communal area except kitchen.. not really any sofas. Bedrooms were of decent size and ensuite!
Ideal due to location which is on campus and near local shops, but not enough social space unless you don't mind sitting in each others' rooms!
A bit small room with a good wardrobe and bathroom at least mine was because when I lived there 2 years ago not all rooms and floors were the same. Bad radiator and bad insolation in the kitchen, some of draws were falling apart in the kitchen. The insolation wasn't that good in my bedroom either. All this was in the Driffield house.
If coming to the university of hull after 2016/2017 do not stay in Taylor court, the rooms have silverfish and the uni doesn't do anything to help, it's not worth the amount you actually pay, yes it's a good distance from the uni if you want to roll out of bed straight into a lecture theatre but the Taylor court flats are so old and have damp.
Internet is decent enough for survival, it's clean and near enough to not have to wake up more than 5 minutes before a lecture. There's not much room for socialising even in the kitchen, but I'm not a social creature so it's fine.
love how close it is to campus, kitchen is great, wifi is absolutely awful
Wifi keeps disconnecting. At times it doesn't even connect. Kitchen not enough cabinets for all residents to have equal amount of storage space.
For five thousand six hundred pounds a year, it would be reasonable to expect washing machines that don't leak, toilets that don't overflow and a kitchen, that's been "renovated" this year, that has adequate space for all residents. Aside from these minor details, it's perfect. The showers have a brilliant range of temperatures: turn the dial a millimetre to the left and experience heat that would put the fires of Mordor to shame, a millimetre to the right and a cold that wouldn't be out of place in the Arctic tundra. The social life is good. Most people are very friendly. Due to the well thought out position of the houses you will be in the unique position of socialising with the whole of the University at 2/3 am as they trundle in a drunken haze through the courtyard outside, on route to the bus stop from the on campus bar. Needless to say, with the extra thin windows, your social life will blossom. The WiFi is as predictable as the president of North Korea.
Machines/Facilites are breaking/malfunctioning that shouldn't. Bin control is a joke, more regular cleaning is needed. Maintenance take their time to come out to repair equipment/facilities.
The cleaner is useless. The WiFi is a laughable excuse for the word. The kitchen is poorly laid out and the appliances, well, they're all f*****. (many complaints to maintenance result in the square root of f*** all action being taken)
wifi disconnects constantly, cleaning is not done to a good standard
Good halls for making new friends and socialize. The rooms are too small, cleaning service is decent. Not really worth the money considering that you can get bigger rooms and for much less in Student houses. Good location and en-suite.
Appropriate for students who like to sleep until last minute before lectures as it is a 2 minute walk from most of Hull's lecture halls.
Always a good mix of people in these halls. They are more expensive vs others but its Hull, unless you are hard northerner, everything is cheap. Unlike the local houses - there are no slug or rat infestations so a bonus there also. Its close, its easy, with the saved time its extra time to sleep, study, or recover from a hangover. Its highly sociable given the 8 people common room, but you also have your own space, own shower, decent area to relax in.
Living in student houses allows you to meet people from the same course or similar. Its great for students who have different timetables from the rest of the students such as nurses, drama students, and medicine.
Perfect if you're lazy and you only want a few hundred steps to your lecture theatre. It ticked my main boxes, en suite, self catered and on campus. However there isn't any real social space, just a few uncomfortable chairs and table at the end of the kitchen, not the ideal area for socialising. The main issue that I have with Taylor Court is the noise on certain nights when Asylum is open. As Taylor Court is on campus, when people walk through it on a night before and after asylum, they make a hell of a lot of noise keeping me and others awake all night. I'm not the only person who has had to miss Thursday morning lectures because of a severe lack of sleep on the Wednesday night/Thursday morning. It can be horrendous. Just to hammer home this point, sleep deprivation is actually a "non touch torture" technique used by the American at Guantanamo Bay and I can see why it worked, I would confess to crimes I didn't commit just to get some sleep some nights.
There is no common room to socialize hence everyone stays in their room. The cleaner only cleans the bathroom once a week and the kitchen too. The kitchen is usually left messy and the bin is left
The fact that we have our own bathrooms is nice but that doesn't justify the overall cost per week. There is a lack of any social spaces with the kitchen being the only one. The kitchen has two tables and some chairs, not really ideal for socialising. The location is nice being within a close proximity to the University.
There are some delays on the work and time management. This are bugs and other insects around the floor and lightings. When reports about these, clenaers come but only to clean out. Bithing has been done about the issue such as insect replant or something to aviod them coming back or dieing.
Far too expensive for not a lot given, rent goes up each year but nothing changes. Hardly ever see house tutor and when you talk to him, he's not really bothered.
