What is McIntosh Hall like?
McIntosh Hall is a small, friendly and welcoming hall with a strong community spirit. The student committee is active and accessible, and arranges a variety of student-led social events throughout the year, including hall quizzes, sports events, beach games, and more.
The wardens host a cheese and wine evening several times during the year so students can get to know their wardens better in a more relaxed environment.
