More than 830 students live here every year.
Some live together in shared flats, where they each have a private bathroom but share a kitchen and lounge. Others choose a studio so they have everything to themselves. The choice is yours.
Social and fun
Our common room, where there are comfy sofas, TV, free pool tables, foosball, and ping pong tables make this the perfect relaxation space.
