All students are required to make an application on-line before they can be considered for accommodation.  Before making an application for accommodation please think carefully about what residence will best suit your requirements and budget. There are 2 main sites for Undergraduates: Singleton Campus Residences and Hendrefoelan Student Village.
Places in residence are not allocated until a student's place at the University is confirmed. For most students details of the accommodation which has been arranged for them will be sent shortly after 'A' level results are published. Some residences fill up very quickly indeed, no student in any category is guaranteed a place in a particular residence. For more information please see our accommodation guide:   Accommodating Success 2010
