From Roman roads to Georgian terraces, Victorian columns and pretty parks and gardens, this city in the North West is overflowing with charm and character. Watch boats cruise on the river Ribble, fishermen at the docks by the Preston Marina or jog alongside ducks by the canal in your spare time. Squeeze shopping, eating out and museum visits between studies and celebrate your results with a night out hopping from bar to restaurant to club.

Living a minute from the UCLan campus means you’ll benefit from being close to the Student Union and connected the University data network. The city centre’s only 10 minutes’ walk away as is the train station if you plan on exploring nearby cities like Manchester and Liverpool, or seeing the lights of London.

There’s always something going on right in your own building with iQ Kopa being a fun and social place to hang out and meet new friends. The common area’s purple and bright green pops of colour echo the vitality and energy of your home. Sit back on the couches, play pool or study at the round tables.

The building’s curved exterior mirrors the curved lines of the furniture in the social hub, shared kitchens and ensuite rooms. You might find yourself in a room with a curved wall that helps create distinct sleeping and study spaces making your room feel extra spacious. You won’t feel cramped with plenty of storage and shelving - even your own drawer in the kitchen to store your cereal and coffee.

If you run out of milk there’s a shop in the building. Pick up a newspaper and sit in the gated courtyard as you catch up on the headlines. Swing by reception to pick up any parcels, or ask the friendly onsite management team to help you work the onsite laundry. All-inclusive rents cover high speed broadband, utilities and contents insurance so budgeting is easy.
