Kingston University - Seething Wells Halls of Residence

Lived here for a year and a half during my MA. Quite cheap, small rooms but you get your own bathroom. It's a good place to live if you just started university but if you're doing an MA and need to study it can sometimes be hard with all the people partying around you. With that said, it's just a short bike ride to Uni and it's close to Surbiton (direct trains to central)

I studied at Kingston university Summer school in 2015, and I must say the rooms were really functioning. Awesome to have your own bathroom with shower connected to the bedroom(which means I didnt have to share bathroom with anyone but myself). I had the most amazing month living here.

Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I used to live at clayhill and can honestly say Seething wells are better. They supplied me with a duvet, duvet cover, bed sheet and a pillow set as well as a fan because the rooms get hot at night.
The maintenance staff fix issues within a matter of hours and the reception staff are lovely and friendly. Would recommend to any student looking for simple and affordable accommodation.

One con is the size of the bathroom but it isn't that bad once you get used to it.

Though small, the budget en suite offers what you need and maybe even a little more. Uni bus stops right outside the blocks and it only takes about ten minutes to get to Penrhyn Road campus. Reception staff are friendly and helpful, and it feels pretty safe knowing guards are quick to come out should you need them to.

Much better than I thought it would be! Any maintenance issue is fixed within hours by halls staff, reception staff are really friendly and helpful, and hall are quite close to Surbiton (supermarket, train station, etc...) (much closer than Clayhill). The rooms have everything you could ask for in a uni hall, and the atmosphere is great.

Actually very good accommodation for students and it is new build 👍❤️

Nice modern accommodation for students although the room is small it is well presented with book shelves, wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom. Students only have to share a communal kitchen. The university is located at rural central area where there are local takeaways, supermarket and shops. Local buses are available just outside the university building although these buses don't take the ordinary oyster card you will have to use the oyster plus or your bank card to pay for fare and the waiting period for buses are longer.

If I could put zero stars I would. Staff decided they didn’t feel like signing in so our nut roast Christmas dinner was absolutely ruined. I’m now a hungry tired and angry youth on the street. Also NO TOILET FOR BUS DRIVERS!?!
