Quotes from committee

“Even though Butler is one of the smaller halls on campus, it’s great that everyone can know everyone. And it’s obviously a great place to be with so many returners getting involved year after year!” -Vicki Cook (Action Rep)

“To speak the truth, I was terrified when coming to university. I didn’t know what to expect and had little people to turn to for advice. Yet, the butler court family not only calmed me down, but showed me what I can do to ensure my time here has been as great as it has been.” -Billy Senior (Media Rep)

“It was really terrifying not knowing who you were going to be sharing a room with for the next year, it wasn’t my first choice so I was extra nervous, but luckily it turned out to be a great experience and definitely worth it for the price.” -Lucy Ufton (Year 1 Undergrad)

General Atmosphere

“Living in Butler is a once in a lifetime experience. With a tight knit community, strong social life and cheerful atmosphere, Butler is a brilliant place to find new friends who will stay with you throughout your university life and beyond. As well as this, the upcoming refurbishment of the common room will make Butler the ideal place to party and relax. The welcoming, friendly community in Butler will make anyone smile and proud to say that they are part of such an amazing hall.” -Rhiannon Davies – Treasurer

Reputation on Campus

“We may be one of the smaller halls, but we have a close community atmosphere where everyone knows each other. Known for being one of the more relaxed halls, Butler is one of the friendliest on campus and being located in East Park near key lecture halls, Powerbase gym, the students union and not far from town, Butler can give you a convenient, friendly and overall amazing university experience no matter what kind of things you like to do.”
