If you choose to live in University-owned or managed partnership accommodation, you'll need to consider what type of room will best suit you.
All of our rooms combine a sleeping and study space. Each bedroom has:
a bed (single, four foot, double or twin single)
a desk and chair
a wardrobe
shelving
The ratio of facilities to residents is available in our Accommodation Overview (PDF: 75KB).
Rooms are normally allocated to students of similar age and academic status. This helps you make friends and develops a strong feeling of community.
Heating, lighting and an internet connection are included as standard (up to a set amount in Managed Partnership accommodation). These are excluded in family and couple accommodation, as well as the studio rooms in Park View.
Some residences include a TV in the communal area and some include a TV licence. If you bring your own TV for your bedroom, to watch or record any live TV or download or watch BBC programmes via a PC, laptop or tablet you'll need to get a separate TV licence.
Bedding is not provided in any of our residences, but you will have the opportunity to purchase items before you arrive; more details will be available soon.
The deluxe/premium rooms across all residences include either 4ft or double (4ft 6") beds, so we recommend you bring double size bedding if you are allocated to this type of room.
These rooms include a private washbasin. Other facilities (i.e. shower and toilet) are shared with fellow residents. Fees for a washbasin room are less than those with en-suite facilities, but more than those with standard facilities.
En suite rooms have an adjoining pod bathroom. You'll have your own shower, washbasin and toilet, and share the lounge and kitchen facilities with other students. En suite rooms tend to be more expensive than those with standard or washbasin facilities.
Deluxe/premium en suite rooms are larger than our standard rooms, and also have an adjoining pod bathroom. You'll have your own shower, washbasin and toilet and some include a bath. You'll share the lounge and kitchen facilities with other residents.

You'll have the studio all to yourself and won't share any facilities with any other residents.
