Keele University Halls of Residence

Keele University halls of residence are located mainly within the campus itself, The Hawthorns though remain just outside the campus in the village of Keele itself.

70% of full-time students are accommadated in the Halls and many staff are also resident.

Each Hall has a student-run Council that organises a range of events including balls, discos, films and sport. Halls also have their own welfare systems: Resident Tutors (usually a postgraduate student) live in each Hall and are responsible for the welfare of students living there. Resident Tutors are on call throughout the night and weekend.

All Halls other than the Hawthorns boast a launderette and shared kitchens.

Barnes Hall

Barnes Hall has no M block (it has A-L and N-X), this coupled with the large clear area adjacent to L block helped an urban legend about Barnes Hall to develop. The myth is that M block sank into the ground due to an abandoned mine tunnel, this is only partially true - the block became unsafe due to subsidence and was demolished.

Barnes Hall is located on the north of the campus and lies close to the leisure centre, Medical School and the A525.
