Location & Surroundings
Storthes Hall Park
We know that accommodation is a key aspect of University life so at Storthes Hall Park we’ve ensured there’ll never be a dull moment. Spend your Monday nights at the Storthes Quiz Night, or on a Thursday de stress with yoga! Practice a new skill by entering the Bake Off, eat all you can at our Man vs. Food or enter another dimension at our virtual reality night! And for party animals our foam party is a guaranteed great night out. If you’re looking for a change of scenery then head to the hustle and bustle of Manchester or Leeds – both of which are just a short train ride away! In addition to The Venue we also have a gym that is completely free for our students and open 24/7, we also run fitness classes through the week.
Living in a town like Huddersfield means that you’re avoiding the steep living costs that you might find in neighbouring cities – saving as much as £50 on your weekly rent!
