ACCOMMODATION
University Halls of Residence
This is a popular option for first-year students and a great way to meet lots of people. Halls are usually very convenient as they are often on or near campus and students are usually expected to pay one monthly payment, including bills. But if you miss out on a place at university halls, don’ t panic!
Private Halls of Residence
Similar to halls run by universities, but owned and run by private companies.
Private Rental Accommodation A good option if you have applied late in the year and halls are no longer available. Private accommodation is also great if you like your independence.
Living at Home If you are studying locally this could be a very convenient and affordable option.

“ I wanted to go into halls, but there were no places left. My university set up a Facebook group and I met five other girls in the same position. We got on really well, so decided to get a house.”
Your university may have a list of approved landlords, letting agents, or may have a partnership with private halls. They can help with finding accommodation, even if you’ re applying late in the year, so get in touch with them.
If you have been in care you may be able to get additional help with finding and paying for your uni accommodation. Visit the Propel website * for more information.
