Accommodation Going to university will probably involve you in finding somewhere to live that is close, safe and affordable. Students coming from abroad or even from areas of this country outside London might be daunted by this prospect, but South Bank's programme of residential expansion has meant that the University has 1400 bedrooms within a ten minute walk of the campus. All of the University's main residences are either newly or recently built or refurbished and are managed by 24 hour teams of security staff.
Residences also have good access both to the underground train system and local buses.
Students who are studying at the Wandsworth Road site will only have to travel a short distance on public transport to reach the campus. Because of South Bank's proximity to central London, demand for places in halls of residence is high and you are advised to apply as early as possible. Rooms in a hall of residence are guaranteed to first year, full time international students who apply before 1 August. All University Halls of Residence are self-catering. The accommodation is provided in the form of self-contained flats each accommodating between three to nine students.
