About the
Residences
We have more than 2,300 rooms in six
Residences, providing a mix of en-suite and non
en-suite accommodation. The Residences are
located in close proximity to each other, which
gives the area a real student community feel.
Many of the Residences are in a flat layout with their own
front door or access-only entry. All the Residences are selfcatered
and have fully equipped kitchens.
Located within walking distance of the campus and the
city centre there is no real need to bring a car, although
there is limited parking available at each Residence.
Living in the Residences
When allocating students into rooms and flats, we aim to
create mixed and integrated communities. There are many
benefits to living in such an environment, not least the
opportunity to meet and live with students of different
cultures and backgrounds.

It is important to realise that at times living with many
different people can naturally be vibrant and lively. We ask
all of our students to live harmoniously and show
consideration and respect towards their fellow residents,
staff, the local community and to the Residence itself. The
Residence Management Team is available 24 hours a day
to help resolve any problems that may occur.
We fully support the national ‘Respect’ campaign, a crossgovernment
strategy to tackle bad behaviour and nurture
good, and so help create a modern culture of respect. This
ethos is core to everything we do, how we treat students
living with us, and what we expect in return.
Each Residence has its own Facebook group – make sure
you join before you move in to meet some of the other
students you will be living with.
Which Residence?
This is a commonly asked question and the answer really
depends on what you are looking for in your experience of
living with us.
