University-managed Halls of Residence

We want you to enjoy living and studying in Plymouth, build life-long friendships and feel fully supported during your time with us. We offer a great variety of halls to choose from which provide a safe and friendly environment for our students.
Your accommodation licence will be with the University, and our halls are provided in partnership with UPP, the UK’s leading provider of on-campus residential and academic accommodation infrastructure.
They provide and maintain the buildings while the University provides a range of support for you, including social events to create great communities, welfare support and 24/7 security to help to keep you safe. 
Our Halls of Residence are located on campus, or within the nearby Student Village – only a few minutes’ walk from both University facilities and the city centre!

Living in privately rented housing

If university accommodation is not for you, the city of Plymouth offers a huge range of accommodation for students. Whether you're looking for purpose-built student accommodation, student houses, flats or even homestays, there's something out there to meet all budgets – both in the city centre or surrounding areas. 
University-managed Halls offer single person accommodation from September to July and are most popular with first year undergraduates. Summer stays are also available. Plymouth is a popular student city, so it's never too soon to start looking and secure your preferred property!
