Facilities

Accommodation

Grizedale College is home to 18 Townhouses, five houses containing en suite accommodation, three blocks of standard flats, and one block of single and double studios housing 605 students.

The en suite flats have six rooms (unless there is a dedicated disabled adapted room, which means there will be five rooms to a flat) and a communal kitchen with soft seating and dining areas. A cleaning service is provided Monday to Friday during term; however, students are responsible for removing their rubbish and recycling.

The standard rooms contain a vanity unit with a wash basin within the room. There are two shower rooms and two toilets per flat, plus a large communal kitchen, all of which have been refurbished in the last few years.

There is a TV and a DVD player so feel free to bring your own DVD’s or use the ones left on the shelves by former students. There are also plenty of boxed games for you to enjoy, and we even have a piano. The room seats about 30 people in total and is sometimes used for social events.
