Library
The library has a diverse selection of books, is an ideal location for studying, and also stocks a wide-range of daily newspapers.
Communications
There are phones in every room that can be connected to Diamond cable for £40.
There are also phones about hall and BT boxes around campus. Some of the latest mobile phone tariffs compare more than favourably with land based ones, especially when some handsets are given away free with Student bank accounts.
Computers can be connected to the Internet via individual data points, also through Diamond cable. (Costing in the region of £90 for a PC and £140 for a laptop, including Network Card and installation)
Computers
The hall has two computer suites, filled with Networked PCs.
The second suite was only made last term and has six brand new high speed Pentiums, available solely for the use of the members of the JCR.
Buses
Getting into the city could not be easier than in Derby Hall, the bus stop is less than 50m from the hall. Get any bus (35, 37, 38, R2, R4, R5 (don't get this one back) or R5A) to "Market Square" for 75p. The journey takes about 15 - 20 mins and the buses run very regularly
Washing facilities, and other amenities are open from 8am, until midnight every day. It costs £1 for a wash, and 40p (2 * 20p) for a drying cycle - usually it takes 2 cycles to dry stuff.
