Student Accommodation

Leaving home to go to college or university can be a bit daunting at first.

Many new students choose to live in accommodation owned and managed by their university, meaning they can be sure that the property will be in good condition and well maintained. Halls of residence might even offer meals and cleaning services as part of the deal! Check with your university/college for more information on what is available.

Students often share houses, keeping costs down on rent and utilities. Read our page on Sharing with Others, as well as finding out more about your rights as a privately renting tenant.

Most colleges and universities are linked to accreditation schemes for landlords, to make sure that housing is safe and up to scratch. Your college/university student services will be able to tell you much more about what options are available to you.
