YUSU

Ask any Vanbrugh student and they’ll tell you, loud and proud, that Vanbrugh is not only central to our university geographically, but central to campus life as a whole.

Specialising as a music college, but excelling across various other areas; notably sport and campus events – Vanbrugh could be said to be the steady all-rounder of the colleges.

The college offers a wide range of halls for its students to choose from; the Le Page Court, Wentworth E and the Eric Milner White blocks offer a cheaper choice to residents, but arguably deliver a more vibrant and busy atmosphere. Slightly off-campus and on the way into town too, we have the Victorian, and quite unique, Fairfax House with its large gardens and homely feel. Finally the Barbara Scott and Donald Barron Court blocks offer a more pricey, but perhaps more comfortable living; with their large kitchens and en suite bedrooms.

This variety and mix of halls is quite reflective of our student populace as a whole, and what’s more, rather than our identity be clouded by the variety of halls and students, Vanbrugh is renown for its almost militant college spirit and general presence across campus.

Another tidy attribute to the college must surely be the much adored V-Bar; one of the few remaining bars on campus and so, the envy of other colleges. The place provides a welcoming meeting point for many of our students, and is often the starting or finishing point to many socials and gatherings of students from all over campus.
