How to book your room
Applying for accommodation is easy.
- Request accommodation when you apply. Please read our Terms & Conditions and cancellation policy carefully.
- Confirm your place. The accommodation team will then invite you to apply for your accommodation online.
- Apply for accommodation using the University’s online system. Follow the application guidelines and pay a deposit.
- Secure your room by following the confirmation guidelines and making due payments.
- Pay the rent for your first semester before you move in.
Arranging your own accommodation privately
If you are booking your own accommodation privately it is important that you let us know where you are staying.
Look out for fraud
Scammers may specifically target international students so it is important to be able to recognise common signs of fraudulent activity and know what to do if you come across it. Let us know at fraudreporting@studygroup.com if you have any concerns about fraudulent activity when dealing with a private accommodation provider so that we can help to protect you and other international students in case they are targeted in the same way.
