A College is a student residence, which also provides academic tutorials to students during the term. Most Colleges are located on University campuses. Many Colleges were established more than one hundred years ago and some have religious affiliations. Colleges are also referred to as dorms, dormitories, student housing and campus housing.

A College is quite different from a hotel; providing comfortable surroundings for students during the University terms and visitors during University holidays, Colleges usually have a dining hall, several common rooms some with TV or fireplace and tea & coffee making facilities. Some colleges have communal gardens, a library as well as sporting grounds.
During the University holidays guests can enjoy the colleges tranquil grounds and use of common areas as well as facilities.

Please note: there is no room service and rooms may not be serviced on a daily basis. Further you are usually expected to carry your own bags to your room. Reception hours are often normal business hours with someone on call after hours.

A College is home for students during the University term and each room has at least a bed, desk and desk chair. Rooms vary in size. Some Colleges have new wings and the rooms in these wings may have ensuite bathrooms, however, most College rooms have shared bathroom facilities.

Hostels usually have multiple beds in each room whereas Colleges only have one or two beds in each room. Colleges usually don’t have a kitchen for guests’ use.

Most Colleges offer casual guests Bed and Breakfast rates and include breakfast in the room rate. Other meals may be available at an extra charge. These meals are usually buffet style and have a good variety of hot food and salads.

The rooms will not have any student items left behind as the students have to remove all their belongings before they leave the College. The rooms will be vacated, cleaned and prepared for guests.

A single room has one single bed (92cm x 187cm, 3′ x 6’2″) and is suitable for one person.
Double rooms are suitable for two persons and have one double bed (137cm x 187cm, 4’6″ x 6’2″ ) unless otherwise stated.

Generally guests are asked to keep noise to a minimum. You are expected to respect the College’s house rules. If you plan to have a loud party then a College is not the place to stay.

Colleges do not allow smoking inside the College and some have a policy of no smoking within the grounds. Please respect the College’s house rules.

The easiest way to find this out is to enter the correct age bracket of all guests during the booking process. This ensures that only those properties allowing children will show. There are no discounted rates in place for children.  

All children over 2 years of age must have their own bed. If you have a child aged 2 years or under, they are normally able to sleep in a travel cot which must be provided by you.

In this case, firstly you should find a Vendor suitable for young children by entering your child in the correct age category on the search form. Once you have browsed the rooms and facilities and have decided which Vendor is most suitable, please then make your search again leaving out the baby from the Under 10 category on the search form, book your chosen room(s) and write in the Additional Information section that you are bringing a baby and will provide a travel cot. If there is a problem with having a travel cot the Vendor will contact you.

Shared bathrooms are located on the corridor. They have basins for general use and there are separate cubicles with a shower in each as well as separate cubicles with a toilet in each. In some Colleges men and women use the same bathrooms, in other Colleges the bathrooms are separated into men’s and women’s bathrooms. An ensuite bathroom is a private bathroom off the bedroom.

This varies from College to College. Most receptions are open during normal business hours on Monday to Friday from 9am till 5pm. If reception is closed on the weekends and in the evenings then there is usually someone on call for emergencies.
