The Hall: David Collett Hall is an idyllic community hidden in the leaves just off-campus on Ashby Road. The Hall is unique in attracting both undergraduate and postgraduate students to its Unite owned grounds enabling students to enjoy a more diverse community that prides itself with the best of both campus and town, as well as domestic and international students.
Duties: David Collett Sub-Wardens assist the Warden in the day to day running of the hall.
