UK Services Housing

Services for Students
Studying in the UK

There are two types of accommodation available:

Accommodation owned and managed by your college or university (this could be either on or off-campus).
Accommodation owned by private landlords or external organisations.

As an international student you may be eligible for student housing on-campus (known as 'halls of residence'). Please contact the Universities you are applying to for more information.

If you do not want to live on campus, you can move into private accommodation. It is a good idea to check the legal obligations imposed upon you by landlords/ladies very carefully before signing a contract. You will be able to seek advice from your university's housing office or the Students' Union. You should also note that most landlords/ladies require a deposit.

HOST

The Organisation "Host" is a charity interested in helping international students by arranging accommodation with English families throughout the country for short periods of time. This is useful for students who would like to see more of Britain but have limited finances, or for students who are rather lonely during the holidays.
