Pendle College is located a short 5-10 minute walk from Alexandra Square – the heart of the University – where you’ll find the main Library, Learning Zone, banks, the Students’ Union offices and the admin centre of the University. Pendle is next to the Co-Op store and several cafes and takeaways.
Pendle Rooms is Pendle College’s hangout space. On the ground floor are comfy seating and areas to do group work, we also have a large television screen for video game competitions. The space is open 10am to 10pm.
On the first floor is a large open area with seating, table tennis, and pool tables, as well as a kitchen.
We also have the Harpley lounge which is a quieter place to study and relax, alongside the Errington Music room which all Pendle students can use.
When not in use by clubs, societies and College meetings, the Errington Room is available for quiet study. There is further study space in the ISS PC Lab situated next to Pendle’s Launderette. The Library, the Learning Zone and PC Labs are all available for you to use free of charge, with many facilities open 24/7 during term time.
There is a kitchen located on the first floor of the social space. The kitchen includes a cooker, microwave, sink, fridges and freezers for use by Pendle students, in particular those travelling in from off-campus accommodation.
Students who do not live on campus can hire a locker for the duration of the academic year, useful for storing belongings that you don’t want to carry with you all day. Lockers are limited and are available on a first come first served basis. Speak to Luke (College Manager) and he will sort you out with a locker!
Mail can be collected from the lockable post boxes in the Porters' Lodge. Mail is alphabetised and placed in the box which corresponds to the first letter of your surname. A key is issued by Pendle Porters when you arrive to take up residence in Pendle College accommodation. All students, whether resident or not should check the unlocked pigeon-holes beneath the post boxes as internal mail is sent to students via this method. Parcels and bank cards are kept by the Porters for collection. A parcel list is displayed on the serving hatch window of the Lodge and parcels will be handed over on production of a student card.
