Living with us

First time away from home? There's nothing to worry about.

Built in the nineties, our student residences are not only modern and attractive, they're also great places to work, relax, socialise and meet new friends. Within the residences you'll find a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and a real community spirit.

In total we have six halls of residence which are all within a short stroll of the city centre and the campus. So, whether it's lectures, a session in the library, shopping or a night out on the town, it's all close by.

Contemporary and comfortable, all study-bedrooms are furnished with a bed, wardrobe, chair and desk. Many are en-suite and are in flats with their own front door or access-only entry. All the residences are self-catering and have shared kitchens with a cooker, kettle, microwave and fridge/freezer.
