Choosing where you live
When you apply you will select your room preferences. Our team will then make room allocations based on your room and college choices. You have the option to apply to live students who have an interest in quieter, more study focused accommodation. Students living in these areas would prefer to live a more moderated lifestyle in respect of alcohol, parties and noise. You do not need to live in silence or alcohol free, but we hope having this option means we can more effectively match likeminded people with other likeminded people. Whilst we will do our best to accommodation this choice, it is based on available bed spaces so cannot provide a guarantee.
Deposits
To book a room you will require a deposit of £250.
You can book accommodation as soon as you have a firm offer from us. With our risk free policy, if you don't get the grades or receive your visa we will release you from any agreements.
