University Accommodation:

You might be staying at the university provided housing which will normally be offered to you if you are a first year student. This would typically be campus based and you either have a room and bathroom with communal living space, or the same format but with a shared bathroom. You will have limited choice in room, as it’s usually assigned rooms, and you would need to take a full years’ rent as a standard. We would suggest checking this with your university accommodation department.
