Description
Rootes is ideally located for the facilities on main campus, including the Students’ Union. The Gibbet Hill campus is a 10 minute walk away via a path which runs between the Rootes blocks. Rootes offers corridor style living with numbers ranging from 12-19 per kitchen group which helps to foster a strong community feel. Members of the Residential Life Team live within the halls to provide pastoral care.
