Plymouth and the surrounding area offers a wide choice of affordable housing within easy commutable distance to the University campuses. The city offers a variety of options with areas such as Stoke, Peverell, Mannamead and Hartley all within close proximity to the main University campus with easy access to the city centre and parks. Just outside the city, areas such as Plympton and Plymstock offer a wide range of housing with excellent community facilities such as shops, schools and libraries. Towards the north of the city is Derriford, which is also home to Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust, the largest hospital in the South West and location of the University’s North Campus, as well as being only 10 minutes away from Dartmoor National Park. A wide selection of large detached properties can be found within this area. Just outside of Plymouth is the South Hams, a region of rural and coastal Devon – to the north side, it stretches to the edges of Dartmoor National Park; to the south, it covers one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the UK from Torbay to Plymouth.
Plymouth also has a fantastic range of nurseries and schools available, including many judged to be good or outstanding by Ofsted, including our on-campus nursery Freshlings, which holds an Ofsted rating of 'good'.
