The main function of Lancaster's colleges is to provide residence for over 4,000 students who live on campus. Thus the residences have a cosmopolitan atmosphere, to which our Study Abroad students contribute in no small way. EU Study Abroad students are not guaranteed on-campus accommodation, but provided applications are received by 30 June, it is likely that you will be allocated a room in one of the colleges.
All colleges have wheelchair access.
While there is a variety of rooms, most are single with washbasins. All are grouped around communal lounge and kitchen areas where students gather and most prepare snacks and meals. Telephones are available in all student rooms. There are also rooms for handwashing and drip-drying, in addition to the campus laundromats. Mail is distributed by college porters, who provide other assistance where needed.
