Welcome home

Whether you live in halls of residence or private sector accommodation, choosing a comfortable home that’s right for you is an essential part of preparing for student life here in Southampton.

Solent’s six student residences cater to a range of personal requirements and are great places to work, relax, and meet new friends. The majority of University owned accommodation is reserved for first-year students, but there are also provisions for returning, postgraduate and summer students.

Students who are renting on the private market are supported by the University’s accommodation service and the Southampton Accreditation Scheme for Student Housing (SASSH). This support helps ensure that any property you rent is safe, secure and fit for purpose.
