Lifestyle

Freshly refurbished for 2019, Marris House has 192 self-catered washbasin rooms with 4-foot beds.

Each flat is shared by six students, and has two shower rooms and toilets. There's an attractive open-plan living area where you can relax with your flatmates after a hard day of study.

Marris House is ideally located by the Sports Centre and close to the Medical School, and a short walk to the main University campus. Everything the city centre has to offer is just a 15 minute walk away.

Building work will be ongoing throughout the academic year on a site adjacent to Marris House, which may cause some noise and disturbance - please consider this if you're thinking of applying to stay here.
