One of the first things you need to consider when coming to study with us is finding somewhere to live. London has no shortage of options for a range of requirements and budgets.
Please see the individual pages for more details on the types of accommodation available; Student Halls, Private-Rented and Short-Stay.
Before going flat-hunting know how much you can spend. The International Student Calculator is a very useful tool to help you to plan out your finances. Knowing how much money you can afford will determine which property or area is most suitable for you.
If you're unsure what you want when you arrive, or need somewhere to stay for a few weeks, Short-Stay accommodation may be the answer. This gives you flexibility at low prices, so you have the time you need to think about where you would like to live.
