Our students are diverse, with different housing needs. We recognise that no one type of housing meets everyone’s needs.

The Durham student housing market is accessed by different groups of students at different times of the year. There are a wide variety of providers, housing types and locations serving the different needs of our diverse student population.

Over 10,500 students will live out of Colleges every academic year, renting some form of student accommodation. Some students will also commute from home, or reside here in short-term / temporary accommodation.

This section of our Housing Hub aims to support your understanding of the student housing market, helping you to make an informed choice about your student housing.
