3. Accommodation options

  • Apply for on-campus accommodation - we have a variety of options on-campus for students. 
  • Living off-campus is different to living in University managed accommodation - there is a lot more to look after yourself. Remember the University is still here to offer advice and support, check out our guide to off-campus accommodation.

4. Apply for council tax exemption

When you move into a privately managed property you will be expected to pay council tax, however if you are a full-time student you can apply for exemption.
