Lucy's View
Living and being a part of the Hamstead Campus community has been such a wonderful and enjoyable experience.
When it came to the time of applying for accommodation, I knew I really wanted a bit more of my own space. Hamcam offers so much, with its studio flats, two person and even larger flats! This really gave me a choice as to how and with who I would live my years of university with.
It is now three years later, and I am still here! There are the beautiful grounds we live in, with such an historic past, which is always expanding and improving. The Village Inn pub is the local, private pub for campus residents.
Then there is the exciting and colourful neighbourhood, with fabulous shops, butchers, hairdressers and supermarkets, all within walking distance. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else!
I will really miss living on Hamstead campus. Mainly due to the 'village' atmosphere it creates.
Everybody who moves here immediately becomes part of a close, tight knit community.
This community aspect is probably one of the most valuable things upon the campus, as it means that nobody is alone. Anybody who needs help can get help. I cannot extol the virtues of living on this campus any more than by just saying 'live here - you'll never regret it!'.
