Accommodation is not normally allocated earlier than two months before a programme is due to begin. Visit the property before accepting if you can, to confirm that the arrangements are mutually satisfactory. If you have been offered a place in a head tenancy property please try to view the house before you accept the offer. Although we cannot offer every first year student a place in university accommodation this need not be a problem. If you have not been offered a place in university accommodation you will receive details of the event towards the end of August or early in September.
Social activities enable students to meet other students before looking for accommodation together.
For this event we offer overnight accommodation in our halls so that new students have the opportunity to visit Leicester and to secure accommodation in the private rented sector. Try to finalise your accommodation before enrolment if at all possible. If you have not been allocated accommodation before enrolment, either because you are a late applicant or for any other reason, then please come prepared to stay in emergency accommodation for a few days. You will need simple cooking and eating utensils, bed linen and towels. Bring minimum other luggage.
