Accommodation

Guaranteed Accommodation

Applicants who elect to hold an offer, either conditional or unconditional, as their FIRM choice will be guaranteed a place in University owned or allocated accommodation for their first year, subject to completion of the application procedure. We also guarantee accommodation for undergraduate and postgraduate overseas students in their first year at University, subject to completion of the application procedures and acceptance of the University's academic offer.

Choosing the right accommodation is one of the most important decisions you have to make when starting life at University. Much of your time outside of your course commitments will be spent in your new home. The University offers a range of accommodation to suit both your budget and your needs, in terms of standards of facilities required. All the Halls are close to the central activities of the University, those on Laisteridge Lane are only about 5 minutes' walk away.

"I lived in Halls for the first year, which was an excellent way to meet people and I really enjoyed it. I was really nervous but everyone else was in the same situation, and I'm now sharing a house with seven friends who I met in Halls. It's also really inexpensive - I've got friends in Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool who are paying lots more than I am, and it's no better."
Kimberley Sharatt - MPharm student

University-owned or allocated accommodation

University-owned or allocated accommodation priority in the Halls is given to first-year students, and those from overseas. There are also a number of rooms available for non-first-year students. All of our Halls are self-catering.

All bedrooms are connected to the main University computer network, so those of you with a PC can access the Internet, reserve a book at the library, or access the extensive information services available. In most Halls you can also have access to ResNET which gives you broadband-like speed, and allows you to make and receive phone calls whilst using the Internet. Each room also has its own telephone socket, so residents can have their own phone.

All Halls offer single study-bedrooms, with kitchens provided which include cooker, fridge, freezer, microwave and one cupboard for each resident.

A small number of rooms in Halls are suitable for disabled students. Some adaptations can be made for the individual needs of disabled students.

There is an Accommodation Manager on each site in normal working hours, and wardens who live in the Halls are available to help you settle in and discuss any problems.

"I lived in Halls during my first year, which was lovely - I'm friends with the same group of people now and you definitely forge relationships for life."
Rebecca Slater - Archaeological Sciences
