This is good value compared with costs in other cities, and less than half the cost of the same standard of accommodation in London. Full fee paying international students are guaranteed university managed accommodation for all years of their programme. The Accommodation Service will assist all other international students to find suitable housing. If you would like to live in university halls of residence, you will need to choose between catered halls where meals are provided, and self-catered halls where you are responsible for cooking your own meals. In traditional halls, breakfast and evening meals are provided Monday to Friday.
All halls are on one of the university's campuses or within walking distance of the university.
Most rooms are single study bedrooms. Halls are good value for money. Heating, lighting and the use of a shared bathroom and kitchen are included in the cost, so there are no extra bills to pay. You have a great deal of independence as you have your own key and will be able to come and go as you please. There are excellent opportunities for forming friendships when you are sharing facilities with a group of students.
