Living off campus

Most students live off campus after the first year, and some new students prefer to do so from the start. There is a good choice of reasonably priced homes and private halls of residence around our campuses. We only advertise or lease properties owned by landlords who have been accredited by the council and have had their properties inspected to ensure they meet statutory safety regulations. Our accommodation officers will help you find a home.

We will also invite you to our house hunting help days, where you can meet other students, receive guidance from a buddy (a second or third-year student), view accommodation and question prospective landlords. Private sector accommodation in Penrith is limited, however the city of Carlisle with its vibrant city centre and growing student population is within commuting distance.
