This one’s for the dreamers, the ones who just want to hang out with friends and talk until 2am. We see you. We’re not all going at 70 miles per hour, we get you might want to take it slow. Let us show you the best spots in Huddersfield and how you can stay sane through a hectic new beginning.

Support at University

Our Advice Centre are here to help you with whatever you may struggle with at university.

Blow off some steam

Sports can be a great way to improve your mental health and make friends – it doesn’t need to be competitive! All our Sports Clubs include a social aspect, so you can take it easy off the field. If you’d rather just get to know some people over coffee, joining a Society is a great way to do that. They’re not all full on, our Societies include everything from gardening to generating awareness for mental health and wellbeing. Taking up a new skill doesn’t need to be stressful, just take it at your own pace.

Down time

While university life doesn’t have to be that hectic thing you want to get away from, sometimes you need a bit of fresh air. Being located right in the heart of the town centre means we have great relationships with local businesses. If you need to unwind, there are so many great spots to sit and get a coffee after a lecture. In Huddersfield, you’re never far from greenery either. A short walk will get you far away from the hustle and bustle, where you can just listen to nature. There’s even a full-on canal going right through campus!

Stress free accommodation
