Derwent College, Shared bathroom

Conveniently located near The Courtyard Bar and D Bar, with the green space of the Quiet Place on their doorstep, these blocks share bathroom facilities with other students in the same corridor. Most rooms also come with their own private washbasin. 

Most of these rooms are in corridor-style layouts in our original Derwent College buildings.
