The University has a Changing Places procedure for those wanting to move within University accommodation for any reason. So, for example, if you wish to move to ensuite accommodation, or cheaper accommodation off campus, this can be arranged when vacancies occur. Full details of Changing Places can be obtained from the Student Accommodation Office. There are 260 places in traditional halls close to the teaching buildings. They offer single study bedrooms with shared cooking and bathroom facilities.
Every kitchen has a cooker, refrigerator, freezer, microwave and food lockers.
A further 850 places are in cluster flats, where four to six students in single bedrooms share a kitchen and bathroom. We have specially equipped accommodation for wheelchair users and a number of rooms have also been adapted for deaf students and others with special needs. We can also provide single sex accommodation in cluster flats and on certain floors in traditional halls. All on-campus residents' bedrooms are equipped with a telephone for both free internal and cheap external calls. Residents may connect from their room to the University's computer network and to the Internet via a modem.
