It is a good idea to start researching your accommodation options online as soon as you have accepted your unconditional offer . Try to give yourself plenty of time to explore options and inspect them properly . As you will discover , the whole island is your oyster .
The Freshers Fair team will be available to support students throughout their journey , answering questions , putting you in touch with those with similar tastes and needs , including those who are already enrolled and have available space .
Where to live in Gozo ? For those who haven ’ t yet had the pleasure of visiting Gozo , let ’ s quickly recap . At a mere 67 km ² in size , Gozo is a small island . You can get from one end to the other in half an hour , meaning all 14 of its towns and cities are worthy of your attention . Due to the short commute and proximity to campus , most of our students live in Victoria , but we have students across the island .
Getting the right information Once you have your formal offer , you will receive an email from our Student Experience Manager , who will be your go-to for all things accommodation . We have also partnered with our student union , BSLA Malta , to connect you with like-minded students . Before term starts , you will be invited to a WhatsApp group where you can get to know fellow students and buddy up on accommodation and share information .
Who you ’ ll live with The WhatsApp group is available to students throughout their time at the University . Many first-year students will be looking to join forces , but older students may also be looking to invite new tenants . We ’ ve had great success placing students through the group and it is an active community throughout the year .
When to begin your search It ’ s best to start looking for student accommodation as early as possible . Some students start looking as early as October , giving them ample time to research your options , compare prices , and make an informed decision about where to live . However , three to six months before you move is fine .
“ Students have lots of properties to choose from across the island , be it studio apartments in the heart of Victoria , bigger shared apartments dotted outside the city , or spaces in the various villages and towns ,” says Elaine Galea , Admissions , Marketing and Student Recruitment Manager . “ There are properties to suit all tastes and budgets .”
