Student experience

Brook Street Halls were built in 1994 and consist of 396 rooms. They are situated 5 minutes walk away from the High Wycombe Campus. These halls consist of flats of between six and ten study bedrooms; each flat shares a kitchen-diner with the usual accessories, two shower rooms and two toilets. Each room has its own washbasin and offer internet access which you can view in our Brook Street video tour. 

Hughenden Park Student Village is our newest student accommodation complex, consisting of 222 en-suite rooms and 12 en-suite studio rooms in flats of six; each flat shares a kitchen-diner with the usual accessories and all rooms offer internet access. These halls are 15 minutes walk from the High Wycombe Campus and you can view them in our Hughenden Park Student Village video. 

There is no parking available in either of our halls and students living here are not permitted to bring cars with them, even to park off campus. If a resident is found to have a car then this is breach of the Licence Agreement and could result in eviction. Exceptions are made for blue badge holders.

The Halls Licence runs for 42 weeks.

Halls eligibility
First year undergraduate students, living outside a 25-mile radius of High Wycombe are eligible to apply for the halls of residence.  If you live within one of our listed postcodes, you are within that 25-mile radius and so are not eligible for this type of accommodation.

If you do not meet the above criteria our Accommodation Service will be able to find you suitable accommodation in the local area either through our Head Tenancy Scheme or will be able to assist you in locating privately rented accommodation. If you are a student based at our Uxbridge campus, please see our Uxbridge accommodation page for further information.

Rental costs 2011/12

Our residential halls are registered with, and meet the standards of the Universities UK (UUK) Code of Practice for the Management of Student Housing. More information on the code can be found at uukcode.com.

Hannah Burnett-Kirk said, “My time in halls was really good fun. It was great to be independent and it was a good starter to make your way to the next step of living on your own, which it definitely prepares you for.”

Jonathan Berwick said, “I lived in halls of residence in my first year, it was a brilliant experience for a new student and I could never replace it! I will never forget the friends that I met and the memories I made, the opportunities there were. The first day was extremely nerve wracking but I made friends with my flatmates and one of the guys there was on my course.”
