Top tips before you start your accommodation application
- If you are joining us this September, make sure you have selected the right year – 2024/2025
- Make sure you pick the right agreement length, 37 or 48 weeks.
- If you are on a non-health care course, you will need a 37-week lease length. For all health care associated courses, you will need to select 48 weeks as you arrive earlier and likely to go on placement extending the lease length.
- In the additional information and preferences section – please disclose as much information about yourself (medical, disability, anything relevant to your allocation etc) so can try to accommodate your needs.
- You can ask to live with friends, but this is not always guaranteed.
- When you accept your offer, you will need to pay an advanced rental payment of £300. This is not a deposit, as this is taken off your final instalment.
- Carry out your own affordability test to make sure you have all your finances in order before you sign into your Licence Agreement.
- If your course offer is conditional, your accommodation application will not be processed until you have met your conditions and accepted the course offer.
- Single gender accommodation means no other gender guests can stay overnight in the flat.
