Undergraduate Prospectus 2011 - University of Southampton

Through social activities
in halls, students soon
make new friends.
International students
We guarantee an offer of a room in halls for all new,
unaccompanied, non-EU international students for the
full, normal duration of their course. To be eligible for
your first year, you must apply by the deadline of 1 August
in the year in which your studies begin. For subsequent
years, you must apply by the published current student
deadline – for more information see our website.
Mature students
We encourage mature students to apply for a room in
halls, although we appreciate that you may have different
attitudes towards work and lifestyle from many of
your fellow students. Please feel free to contact the
Accommodation Service to discuss accommodation
options.
Students with disabilities
We provide a range of specially adapted accommodation
for students with disabilities and we work closely with our
Enabling Services (see page 51) to enhance and extend
facilities. If you have a disability and would like to discuss
your needs, please contact the Accommodation Service
or Enabling Services.
Couples and families
Most students have single study bedrooms. In addition to
rooms in our halls of residence, we have a limited number
of flats and houses for couples and families.
If you are planning to bring your partner and/or any
children to the University, please let us know when you
apply for accommodation.
Private rented accommodation
We advertise over 2,500 rooms in accredited properties in
the Southampton and Winchester areas for students who
wish to rent private accommodation. Students can access
our dedicated private rented website www.sassh.co.uk
after accepting an offer of a place to study at the
University. We also provide a free and confidential
advisory service covering all aspects of housing.
Weekly rent for a room in a shared house in the private
rented sector in Southampton or Winchester costs from
£65 per week, excluding bills such as water, electricity,
gas and telephone.
