Living in student accommodation



Living in halls puts you at the heart of university life

Most of our students choose to stay in halls of residence if they are living away from home for the first time. It's an easy way to meet people and make friends in a city that is new to them. Our students often have such a great experience, they choose to stay in halls until they graduate.

From tips on how to find halls that suit you and your lifestyle to advice on how to pay your rent, we have guidance on how to make the move as stress-free as possible.
