                         More options. More fun.
                         To experience university life fully, nothing beats living on campus where you can enjoy convenience
                         and a sense of community. Our on-campus accommodation sits at the heart of university life and
                         is just a short walk from teaching rooms, labs, our library, sports facilities, students’ union and a
                         fantastic range of eateries, allowing you to make the most of your study and leisure time.
                         Whatever subject you or your friends are studying, your lives will revolve around our single-site
                         campus, which just keeps getting better thanks to our continuous programme of investment.
                         Even though our campus has the laid-back atmosphere of a leafy, secluded site, it’s actually located
                         in a vibrant, student-orientated area – only two miles from the city centre. That brings an extra
                         dimension to your student life as you explore everything Hull has to offer.
                         It’s easy to feel at home here, and it tends to happen quickly.

 Making and living
 with friends
Starting university is a big adventure but we know that
it can also feel pretty scary too. It’s natural to worry
that you won’t know anyone but our accommodation
is designed specifically with students in mind and is
the ideal place to meet people.

University accommodation isn’t just for individual applicants though, we have
plenty of options for group bookings too. Perhaps you already know people
starting uni at the same time as you and would like to live together. Or maybe
you’d like to stay living on campus in your second and third years with all the
amazing friends you’ll meet when you arrive. From shared flats to campus
houses, we can accommodate groups of 4 to 11, giving you the opportunity to
stay on our vibrant campus for your whole time at university if you wish.
All of this is manageable through our easy online booking system
– just select the friendship group option and choose the same
location and flat.

Disabled students
Disabled students and those with declared,
medically certified health problems registered
with, and supported by, the University’s Disability
Services, are given first priority.
We integrate students with disabilities within
our general student community. The demand
for some types of accommodation is high and
may exceed supply. If you require a specific
type of accommodation due to a disability, we
encourage you to submit your application and
online questionnaire as soon as possible. The
questionnaire is part of the accommodation
application process and is assessed by the
University’s Student Wellbeing, Learning and
Welfare Support Service. In some cases we may
require supporting evidence.
