Halls of residence

Booking your accommodation

Once you've chosen your preferred halls of residence, you can apply for your room via the accommodation portal. Halls of residence applications are on a first come, first served basis. When allocating specific rooms, we endeavour to match you with people with similar living habits and interests. The application process includes some lifestyle questions to assist with the allocation.
