Benefits of Using University Accommodation
There are many advantages to choosing University-owned and Managed Partnership accommodation:
- The student experience – in our accommodation, students have the opportunity to meet people from diverse cultural and social backgrounds. Friends made in your first year at university often remain friends for life.
- There is an extensive range of facilities at different sites. You have a choice of catered or self catered, and en suite, washbasin or standard rooms.
- In case of emergencies, we always have someone on call; even out-of-hours – on some sites this could be from the team of wardens and senior residents, on others it could be Estate Security or a night porter.
- We have a transparent pricing structure inclusive of most fees, making it easier to budget. We offer flexible payment terms to help you spread the cost. Single student accommodation fees include internet, energy (up to a set amount in Managed Partnership accommodation) and water charges. Internet connection and personal contents insurance are both FREE!
- As your landlord, the University takes its responsibilities seriously, endeavouring to provide a comfortable living environment favourable to both study and relaxation.
- Continuous contracts – contracts cover the full academic year and include the Christmas and Easter vacation periods so there is no need to empty your room when you head back home for short visits.
- As an undergraduate resident of University accommodation, you have the option to extend your stay over the Summer vacation, so if you need to remain in the city for employment purposes, or want to stay to visit local attractions, we can offer you a room during this period.
- If you are an undergraduate resident of University accommodation, you are eligible for discounted Silver level membership of the Sports Centre added to your accommodation package.
- We offer a guarantee of accommodation.
- For students on low income households, Opportunity Scholarships are available in University-owned accommodation.
