Accommodation

Our accommodation is situated on two different sites: Bailey and Parson's Field.

Rooms at both sites are connected to the University high-speed data network allowing access to the Internet and are offered on a standard let basis. This includes the Christmas vacation, but if you wish to stay during the 2-week Christmas closedown Bailey residents will be asked to move to a self-catering flat at Parson’s field (rooms do not usually have to be cleared at this time). During Easter vacation you may be asked to vacate your room for residential open days (secure storage for some belongings being provided); you will be reimbursed for those nights. Safety information can be found here.

Cleaning Packs and Bedding Packs are available for purchase either before (so that they can be left ready in your room) from the middle of September or during your accommodation residency.

Further information will be sent to Students closer to the start of term.
