Welcome to Accommodation at Newcastle University
Whether you’re a new student, member of staff, or visitor, we have accommodation options for you. Our residences all have unique characters, and we take pride in our safe, vibrant, and diverse communities across our three villages. You’ll find a place to call home within a supportive community, with everything you need to study, socialise, and relax.
Our campus is in the heart of the city, and all our residences are either on campus or on the city’s doorstep, only a short walk away or easily accessible by public transport. This means that when living with us, you're never too far from lectures, or the many things Newcastle has to offer, from history and heritage, to shops, bars, and restaurants.
And if you’re currently living with us, or getting ready to move in, our Accommodation team are here to support you.

When can I move into the accommodation?
