Our brand-new communal areas have been completely transformed based on student feedback, creating stylish, modern spaces for every mood; whether you’re catching up over coffee, playing cards or mahjong, or settling in for a relaxed movie night.
For creatives, especially from Winchester School of Art, there’s a dedicated design zone with sewing machines, fabric hangers, and plenty of desk space to bring your ideas to life. Outside, the private courtyard offers a peaceful spot to relax, chat, or enjoy a garden game.

I’ve worked in PBSA for 8 years and joined Collegiate in 2021, managing both Cathedral Point and Riverside Way. Having always lived in Winchester, I know the area well and love sharing local tips and recommendations with our students.
I enjoy working with the team to create a warm, welcoming environment, especially for those living away from home for the first time. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks with my family and grabbing a coffee along the way.
