Living in halls gives you the full uni experience—shared kitchens, group nights out, and plenty of stories for later.

Student halls are a solid choice for new students. They’re social, practical, and usually just a short walk from your lectures.

Hamwic Student Resident
4.0

Living at Hamwic Student Residence has been a really positive experience. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, which makes settling in much easier – especially if you’re new to the area. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with everything you need for both studying and relaxing. The location is ideal – it’s within walking distance to the university and close to supermarkets, cafes, and bus stops. It’s really convenient for students who want to balance academic life with a bit of social life too. The staff are approachable and quick to sort out any maintenance issues, which I really appreciate. Plus, the communal areas are a nice bonus – they’re great for meeting people or just chilling out after a long day. Overall, I’d recommend Hamwic to any student looking for a reliable and comfortable place to live during the academic year.

3.0

Hamwic has a great location—literally within a few minutes’ walk to campus, which makes it perfect for rolling out of bed and heading straight to lectures. The building itself is a bit older compared to some of the newer accommodations, so the interiors can feel slightly worn out, but nothing too serious. The rooms are functional and come with the basics, and the kitchens are fairly tight, especially if you’re sharing with a larger flat. It tends to attract a quieter crowd, but depending on your flatmates, you can still get a social experience. If you’re on a tighter budget and just need somewhere reliable and close to uni, Hamwic is a solid option.

When hamwic residence was a part of Solent university its was a very good accommodation and the rooms were some of the best across the whole of the accommodations. In addition there were also common rooms on each floor as well as one big one on the ground floor.

The letting agency kept the Accommodation in great order and cleanliness. The kitchen had cleaners who would make sure it stays that way. The price is acceptable and the deposit is taken off the first term of rent

Solid Student Housing, but Could Be Improved
4.0

Overall, my experience living here was quite positive, but there were a few things that could be improved. The location is fantastic — just a short walk from both the university and local shops, which made it really convenient. The room itself was adequate, with enough space to study and store my things, though I would have preferred a little more storage. The Wi-Fi was fast, which was crucial for my online classes and staying connected with family. Security was also good, with swipe-card access to the building and CCTV in common areas. One thing I didn’t like was the shared bathroom. It could get a bit messy at times, and the cleaning schedules didn’t always seem consistent. I also had a couple of maintenance issues that took longer than expected to be resolved, like a leaky faucet. The staff were friendly and helpful when I contacted them, but some improvements in maintenance response time would be appreciated. Despite these minor issues, I still think this is a solid place to stay. It offers good value for money, and the social atmosphere is great for meeting new people.

Decent First-Year Choice – Great Location, Decent Vibes
5.0

I stayed at Hamwic Hall during my first year at uni, and overall it was a pretty solid experience. The biggest pro is the location—just a short walk to campus and super close to shops, takeaways, and bus stops. It made getting to lectures (even the early ones) way easier. The rooms are a good size for student accommodation, and I had an en-suite, which was a lifesaver. The shared kitchen was okay—depends on your flatmates, really—but it had everything you need. Wi-Fi was decent most of the time, though it lagged occasionally during peak hour

The university accommodation was clean, well-maintained, and conveniently located close to campus. My room was a decent size with plenty of storage and a comfortable bed. The shared kitchen was spacious, although it could get a bit messy during peak times. Security was reliable, and I always felt safe coming in late from the library. Overall, it was a solid choice for first-year living with a good balance of social life and study space.

I stayed in Hamwic Hall and had a very good experience. Minor issues like a broken shelf were resolved quickly. The contract was clearly explained and I was made aware of my rights. I got my full deposit back, and the moving-out process was smooth. Would recommend.

I had an incredible experience staying at Hamwic Residence! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The room was spotless, stylishly decorated, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect—peaceful yet conveniently close to local amenities and transport links. What really stood out was the attention to detail and the genuine care from the staff. They went above and beyond to make sure I felt at home. It’s clear that guest satisfaction is a top priority here.

The location was a 5-10 minute walk from the university which was a positive.Each room had an en-suite with 9/10 people sharing kitchens between each flat. It was a little bit towards the expensive side which can be seen as a slight negative.

Hamwick Student Residence is very well located being right in the middle of all the Solent accommodation being 10 minutes walk away from the Uni and 15 minutes away from West Quay which makes it very convenient as well as people having access to larger rooms if needed but the only issue was the price of the rooms being higher than a lot of other options.

I stayed at Hamwic Student Residence during my university year and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The location is super convenient — close to campus, shops, and public transport, which made getting around really easy. The rooms are modern, clean, and surprisingly spacious for student housing, and the shared areas are well-maintained and great for socializing. What really stood out to me was the sense of community. The staff were always friendly and helpful, creating a supportive and welcoming environment. Any maintenance issues were dealt with quickly, and I always felt safe and comfortable living there. If you’re a student looking for a place that combines convenience, comfort, and a great atmosphere, Hamwic is definitely worth it. Highly recommend!

Living at Hamwic Student Residence was one of the highlights of my university year. The location was unbeatable—just a short walk to the city centre and easy access to buses to the university campus. The rooms were clean and modern, with plenty of natural light, and I really appreciated the ensuite bathroom (a real luxury for student halls!)

There are lots of social events and activities that help you connect with other students, making it easier to make friends. The staff are also very helpful and approachable, always ready to assist with any concerns you might have.

Hamwic is a great accommodation, and the university helped to sort it out very quickly for me as I confirmed my place here through clearing, and was able to secure my room in Hamwic within a week. To improv,e I would suggest better maintenance, as sometimes you have to wait a while for something to be repaired

Overall, a great first place for accomodation. Hamwic was not too far from campus, and the en suite setting was a nice touch. Pricewise, it was inexpensive, so it was not too much stress to pay for. The kitchen was fully equipped and very modern. However, there was one incident of an accidental unauthorised entrance into my room by a member of staff.

This is my second year in Hamwic Hall, and i strongly recommend any students to stay In it. The staff are available at any time do solve any queries or problems as they are easy to reach through email or even physically in the reception. The rooms are structured as ensuite so you are provided with your own bathroom, toilet in your room which makes your stay as a student really enjoyable and relaxing. Strongly recommend the hall, as it’s’ a 10 min walk from the centre and the university so it also has a great location

Hamwick wasn't great

The university accommodation was disappointing and not worth the price. My room was cramped, poorly ventilated, and the walls were paper-thin. Shared spaces like the kitchen and bathroom were often dirty and rarely cleaned properly. Maintenance requests took ages to be addressed, and staff weren’t very helpful. Overall, it felt more like surviving than living, and I wouldn’t recommend it to future students.

Living in student accommodation honestly wasn’t the best experience. It was overpriced for what you get, and the constant noise made it hard to relax or study. The shared spaces were usually messy, and maintenance was slow to fix things. If I had the choice again, I’d definitely look for a place off-
