College accommodation

Normally, all first year Undergraduate and Foundation Year students are resident in College, except for a small number of mature students with family commitments. You do not need to apply for accommodation as it will automatically be allocated to you for your first year.

Any student who does not wish to live in College accommodation will need the permission of the Senior Tutor. Please send an email to the Admissions Office.

First year Undergraduate and Foundation Year students are usually housed in a building called West House.

All Undergraduate and Foundation Year offer holders (conditional, unconditional and deferred entry) who are holding a place for 2024 entry will be asked to complete the online Accommodation Application and Preference Survey by early July 2024. A link to complete the online survey will be emailed closer to the time. It is very important for you to complete the survey and provide all the requested information, as this will be taken into account when allocating rooms in College accommodation. 

In early September, once all of our 2024 places have been confirmed, the room allocations will be done. Before the start of the Michaelmas Term, you will be asked to complete the online Residential Agreement relating to occupation of your room. It is important that you read its conditions carefully. Once you have submitted the Residential Agreement thereby agreeing to the terms, you will be deemed to have entered into the Residential Agreement.
