Student Accommodation

We have some of the most affordable student accommodation in the whole of the northwest*

Where you live is an important part of your university experience.

For many students living in halls is an integral part of the University experience and if you are moving away from home for the first time our halls provide a safe environment for you to live, study and socialise.

The university provides a range of campus accommodation to cater for all budgets offering excellent value for money across a range of room type options. 

We have a team dedicated to assisting you. Whether you want halls of residence – guaranteed for first-choice applicants – or independent housing in Lancaster, Carlisle, and Ambleside, we are here to help make it happen.
