The University currently has around 7,500 bed spaces and around 20,000 students. Undergraduates, postgraduates and returning students from other years are able to apply for University accommodation. Accommodation is available in one of our Colleges or in purpose-built private student accommodation. Our residential estate is very varied, from ensuite rooms in new College buildings to older accommodation in a historic environment. Much of our accommodation is quirky and unique, based on the different styles of architecture when each of the Colleges were built. There are also rooms in houses owned and operated by private landlords throughout the city.
