Canterbury Court

Sitting opposite St. Anselm Hall, Canterbury Court is a self-​catered residency for the University of Manchester with a similarly unknown quality to it. Unlike its neighbour, it is a much more modern building that nevertheless has quite some charm about it.
The hall itself is divided into flats of about ten en-​suite rooms each. Within each flat there is also a common room area and fully equipped kitchen. The flats vary from mixed to single sex, but each tend to foster a community spirit within, although sometimes at the expense of creating a community between flats. The hall does have its own bar, although most residents tend to mainly frequent the St. Anselm one instead.
It has several sports teams of its own, notably football, as well as supporting St. Anselm teams such as hockey. There is also an end of year BBQ hosted between the two halls with an inter-​hall football match played earlier in the day.
It is one of the more expensive self-​catered halls, although the large rooms and nice surroundings are a suitable return on the investment. Being so close to the St. Anselm bar doesn’t hurt either.
