Accommodation
Trinity Hall offers a variety of accommodation to both its undergraduate and postgraduate students. Accommodation ranges from characterful rooms in 14th-century buildings, to ‘retro’ 1960s student blocks, to modern en-suite rooms in our latest building, WYNG Gardens, which was completed in 2016. All rooms are fully furnished with a bed, desk and chair, wardrobe space, and many with comfy chairs or even sofas. See below for descriptions of our three sites: Central Site, Thompson’s Lane and Wychfield. You can explore each of these sites on our Virtual Tour.
One room on Central Site is available for a wheelchair user, with an adapted bathroom close by, and there are seven wheelchair-accessible rooms with en-suite facilities at Wychfield (two of which have linking rooms for carers). The Disability Access Guide provides full details of the College’s facilities for disabled students.
Undergraduates
At Trinity Hall, we provide all undergraduates with College accommodation for the first three or four years of their course. First-year students are allocated rooms by the College according to price band, and students are asked to indicate a preference. Second-, third- and fourth-year students choose their own rooms via a student-run ballot.
Undergraduates are housed in: Central Site, Wychfield and Thompson’s Lane (see below).
Postgraduates
Continuing students and new offer holders, who will be studying full-time, are invited to apply for accommodation by completing an online form. The deadline for completing the form is 1 May. After 1 May, all those who have applied for accommodation are placed in a randomly generated order. If we have X rooms available, then the first X people on the list will secure accommodation. The remaining people will be put on a waiting list.
We accept applications from any full-time student who has been offered a place, whether or not they have met their conditions. We will consider applications received after 1 May, but the likelihood is that they will be added to the waiting list.
We are unable to provide accommodation to part-time students.
Please note that we do not have any accommodation suitable for families with children.
Postgraduates are accommodated in: Wychfield (see below).
