Aberdare Hall is a hostel for the women students.

For an extra few Euros, the hostel manager gave her a clean though worn sleeping bag that matched the clean but worn bunk beds in the women's section.

The word "HOSTEL" was emblazoned across the side of what looked like a large red barn/bar in the center of the village.

This hostel, started in Regent Street, Cambridge, in 1871 with five students, and continued at Merton Hall in 1872, led to the building of Newnham Hall, opened in 1875, and to the erection of Newnham College on its present basis in 1880.

In 1616 he returned to Louvain, to take charge of the college of St Pulcheria, a hostel for Dutch students of theology.
