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.
Rooms are assigned in the order in which confirmation of a student's intention to attend Lancaster is received, so early application and confirmation are recommended. All students have the option of living off campus, but few study abroad students choose to do so. Which ever housing option you decide on, please note that you will have to sign a lease committing you to it for the whole period of your stay.
