Living independently can be a big responsibility. Whether you're living in University student residences or are renting in the private sector, it is important that you understand all the terms and conditions that may be associated with your residency.
Residence fees
Rooms in the student residences vary in price depending on which residence you are staying at, how big your room is and how long you are staying there for.
Cancellations
Once the contract start date has passed and the student has taken up residency, no requests to terminate the contract will be considered, with the exception of those citing exceptional circumstances for an unforeseen event or issue that either existed prior to the start of your contract but was unknown to you, or that has arisen since you entered into the contract and where, if you had known about this issue earlier, you would not have chosen University accommodation.
All such requests must be accompanied by supporting evidence from a UK GP/consult and the University’s wellbeing team.
Further details for cancellations and early release from contract are available in the following documents:

Student Accommodation Code
Our residences fully comply with the Student Accommodation Code, a code of practice that sets standards and best practice for the management and quality of student housing.
LGBTQ+ accommodation
We believe everyone deserves to feel secure and respected in their own homes. That includes having the choice of LGBTQ+ accommodation. We aim to ensure all University accommodation is a safe, welcoming and inclusive place for everyone. Some students find it helpful to be living in accommodation specifically for LGBTQ+ students along with people who may have shared life experiences. We offer students the option of selecting LGBTQ+ accommodation as a preference.
