Welcome to Residence Life – here at University of Plymouth, we want to make your transition to University life as easy and enjoyable as possible.
Moving away from home can be a daunting experience and our Residence Life Team are here to help you every step of the way. 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 of residence to choose from, all of which offer a safe and friendly environment, are close to our main campus, near city centre amenities and situated in one of the South West's most vibrant coastal locations.
Living in halls is an exciting, life-changing experience and we are looking forward to welcoming you to your new home.
Our accommodation guarantee has now closed. You can still make an application through our accommodation portal throughout the summer and we will notify you when spaces become available.
We guarantee University-managed accommodation to all undergraduate applicants who choose the University of Plymouth as their first choice institution and apply for accommodation before 6 May 2018. Please note that the guarantee does not apply to students who still have a conditional status after 31 August 2018

You’re living in such a tightknit community that it is really easy to make friends with people in your halls. You meet people not only in your flat but also from the flat across from you, above and below you.Read more about Heather's experience in Mary Newman Hall
University of Plymouth offers an approved accommodation database called Studentpad. All I had to do was register with my uni email address and I was then able to search for houses depending on rooms, location and budget. Simple.Read more about Jack's experience in a student house
