What to expect from halls

University Halls of Residence are a great option for international students especially during your first year as you can move straight in when you arrive in the UK. Halls are conveniently located, support is immediately available, and it's a great way to make friends.

Bedrooms at halls of residence include a bed, wardrobe, storage, chair, desk and internet access. Shared kitchens include a microwave, cooker, toaster, kettle, refrigerator, freezer, and there are laundry facilities available at each residence.

Rooms are fully furnished, but you will need to provide your own bedding and towels. Once you arrive, our Immigration and International Student Advice team can provide you with tips on where to buy everything you may need.
