Sutton Bonington Campus
Bonington Halls is the name given by the university to the student accommodation (halls of residence) at Sutton Bonington Campus. It is owned by Opal Property Group. It is a mixed sex hall holding both undergraduates and postgraduates. In reality, it is not really a single hall, but a number of small separate "halls" and "houses" of varying age and design, holding between eight and sixty people, in addition to a shared dining room, laundry and bar. Bonington Halls house approximately 650 students. This makes it the university's largest hall of residence (regaining the title from Jubilee's Newark hall). The halls have a single JCR committee, but this operates more along the lines of the entertainment committee of the Student Guild as it arranges activities for both the residents of Bonington Halls and those students studying at Sutton Bonington but living off campus. The houses and halls at Sutton Bonington are named after local villages and are as follows:
- Kingston - the oldest hall, built just before the First World War and used to house German POWs during the war; until recently it was an all-male hall
- Normanton - originally built as an all-female hall, and remained so until recently
- Wymeswold
- Ratcliffe
- Rempstone
- Kegworth
- Dishley
- Hathern
- Lockington
- Zouch
- Stanford
- Barton
- Costock
- Thrumpton
- Eviton House - postgraduate-only house at the far end of the arboretum
- St. Michaels Flats - located nearer the village itself, these house students with families, mainly international students
