St George抯 Medical School is going to be your second home for anything between one and six years. So if you need to rent accommodation, finding a room where you can feel at home will be immensely important in helping you to settle in quickly. If you have decent, comfortable accommodation, it抯 one less thing to worry about and you can relax and concentrate fully on your studies. Halls of Residence The Halls of Residence at St George抯 are located just under a mile away from the School itself and close to local shops. Thirteen purpose-built houses set in a small private estate at St George抯 Grove provide accommodation for 254 residents. We can normally offer a room to every first year student who requires one.The study bedrooms at the Halls are designed for single occupancy. Every house has three floors, each with bathroom and kitchen. On the middle floor of each house is a common room with a colour television where you can meet and get to know your neighbours.
