Wedgwood Halls

Wedgwood Halls

Wedgwood Halls is one of the Halls of Residence at the Stoke Campus of Staffordshire University. Each of the buildings is named after famous potters, the Wedgwood in question being Josiah Wedgwood.

The building is split into 4 sections, each recognizable by a different colour. The colours are "Blue", "Yellow", "Red" and "Green". Each section of Wedgwood Halls houses up to 36 students at a time. There are 3 floors, each containing 12 student rooms accompanied by a bathroom and a kitchen.

History

For a number of years a rivalry has developed between the students of Wedgwood and Royal Doulton (another student hall of residence). This rivalry has been re-kindled each year by way of stories and rumors reaching the ears of the new, riot-ready freshers. The acts of revenge range from egg throwing, graffiti and water-ballooning.
