Apply now

When you apply for accommodation, you’ll be able to choose your preferred room type, and our team will do our best to allocate you a room that matches both your room and college choices. 

You can also choose to live with other students who are interested in quieter accommodation. This option is designed for those who prefer a more moderate lifestyle with respect to alcohol, social events, and noise. It doesn’t mean you must live in silence or avoid alcohol entirely - rather, it helps us bring together students with similar preferences.

While we always aim to meet your requirements, all allocations are subject to availability, and we cannot guarantee every request.

Deposits

To secure a room, we'll ask for a £250 deposit.

You can book your accommodation as soon as you receive a firm offer from us. With our risk‑free policy, if you do not achieve your required grades or your visa is not granted, we will release you from any accommodation agreements.

Your deposit will be returned within four weeks of the end of your contract. Please note that deductions may be made if there is any damage or if outstanding rent needs to be recovered.

Instalment dates

Accommodation fees are paid in three instalments.

These instalments are scheduled at the start of each term, after you have received your student loan (UK). If you have any concerns about making a payment or about the instalment dates, please contact our accommodation finance team.
