Q&A
Q
what's wrong with location?
By member746064 On 24th February 20
You will highly depend on transport in Paul Kent Hall whether to go to school, to buy some foods or to get to the city center. However, if you are well organized, that will not really be a problem. I am currently living here, if you have any question, feel free to ask me.

Hello, is the bus schedule on time as mentioned? I am a mature student most probably moving to Paul Kent. How are the facilities?

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.

Affordable accommodation for Oxford Brookes students, near to the campus and continuous bus service.
As I’m studying in Oxford Brookes University. It’s too far away from university and it’s an old flat buildings which are renovated. Accommodation rooms are quite small. Not worth money.
This hall has recently been refurbished, I was one of the first to live here after the refurbishment, hence, everything was clean and new (smelt fresh paint). We got a cheaper price than usually as there were some refurbishments on the way, the price will rise once finished. As we was 10 in a flat, there were more kitchen appliances such as 2 induction hobs, 2 kettle, 2 sinks, 4 fridges/freezer,... The problem was that there were not enough place to seat when everyone was in the kitchen. The bedroom was just perfect, really spacious, the bed was really big. However you will highly depend on bus whether to buy some food or to get to the city center.
It’s a bit far out from city but I’ve really got no other complaints about it
Had an awful time at halls, spent most of the time travelling home as I didn’t enjoy halls at all
Fairly quiet- we don't have many party flats, and if we do it's just during popular nights out. Room size is decent and the fact that we have en-suite bathrooms is a huge plus- although the bathrooms are literally a wooden container mounted inside the room, looking just like airplane bathrooms. The lighting is quite poor- windows are small and they never fully open. Hall management... The hall manager is a very annoying lady, although the wardens are usually really helpful- I remember that one time I basically sliced half of my finger and the duty warden bandaged my wound. We only have a common room- really good when you are in desperate need for a Snickers or a Coke. Otherwise, it's quiet and almost no one goes in there- it looks like any other regular living room.
The hall wardens and staff are more concerned with the reputation of the halls and have a serious attitude problem - other than that the actual place is quite alright.
Quite quiet, but close knit family witching PK! Needs a cash machine on site though
Despite the location, I actually really enjoyed living at Paul Kent. As there are less people living in the halls you generally get to know everyone on site through trips on the U5 to uni and also fairly close to both Crescent and Slade. I cannot fault the staff who regularly organise events and free pizza nights, which doesn't happen at other halls and also really friendly. I know most people are disappointed by the location but everyone seems to get used to it. Its defiantly not the end of the world if you get put in Paul Kent
Issues take a while to be cleared up, when issues raised usually get an unkind response from the manager, buses aren't always reliable from the location, wifi can be rubbish, had issues with showers and water and the fridge. Maybe not enough space for 9 people.
Alright, far away from everything but free bus helped.
not the most sociable halls, but goo otherwise
Very good ensuite halls for the money and good sized room! Simple but good kitchen! Awful location
Not much of a party place, have to be silent by 11pm due to being surrounded by houses with children.
Okay place but not worth the amount of money I'm paying
Paul kent hall is a really lovely place to live, I have a non ensuite room and therefore it is cheaper to live and you get a bigger room. You are fairly away from shops but that's not really an issue for anyone and we love living here
Paul Kent is a small accommodation halls in comparison to others like Clive Booth but it is a beautiful setting. The hall staff and wardans and amazing people, extremely friendly and happy to help with anything. Room sizes to vary but are overall a good size with a decent size kitchen in all flats. The one major down side is university buses are few and far between and can often be late, so when staying at Paul Kent it is best to plan for an earlier bus. My experience at Paul Kent halls has overall been an amazing time.
