Walford College offers high-quality residential accommodation on site.
Priority is given to students on land-based courses for whom daily travel presents particular problems. Â
The accommodation includes single study bedrooms, some ensuite and some with washbasins. Â
Meals
Each residence has a small kitchen with facilities that allow students to prepare hot food and drinks, or they have the option of using the large communal kitchen in the Social Centre. Meals can be taken in the Refectory Monday – Friday.Â
Included in the fees is a six-meal package which includes three evening meals and three meal cards to use for lunch or breakfast per week. All other meals are paid for separately using cash/card.Â
Students with specific dietary requirements need to discuss their specific requirements with the Catering Manager.Â
Where possible, students under the age of 18 years are accommodated in separate halls, on separate corridors or separate floors.Â
