Thwaite Hall

Thwaite Hall is a traditional hall of residence of the University of Hull.

It is in the village of Cottingham, just outside Hull. It consists of 187 rooms and includes a junior common room, a TV room, games room, library and senior common room. Thwaite Hall has 24 acres of beautiful grounds. There are a warden, Dr David Sands, a deputy warden and three student tutors.

Students are encouraged to participate in a wide variety of activities organized by the JCR or Junior Common Room council. These include dances and sports and the traditional "Freshers' Week" events.The Hall was constructed for the mistress of a wealthy Russian and passed to a Hull merchant family who later sold it and its grounds to the university which built the extra wings.

During WWII the hall was home to US servicemen with Free French and Polish forces living in nearby houses.
