Points to consider
- You'll sign an accommodation contract for a full academic year and pay for any any periods you may be away, including study tours.
- The room is yours through the Christmas and Easter breaks.
- Hall fees include a meal allowance, equivalent to 30 weeks of meals during term time, from the start of your tenancy until the end. If you prefer or wish to do your own cooking, you could consider living off campus.
- You may not have lectures every day, and may be close enough to go home every weekend. If you think you'll only need accommodation Monday-Friday you could consider living in lodgings off campus.
- Halls are a large community of students of different ages and sexes, and from different cultures and backgrounds.
- Not all halls have TV aerial sockets in every room; we recommend checking the web pages for individual halls to see what's available. If you decide to bring your own television to campus you'll need to buy a TV licence.
- All halls of residence are strictly non smoking.
