Find your
freedom
Leaving home to start student life can be challenging as well as
exciting. So knowing you’ve got a decent place to live is a major
box ticked. When you choose to study at the University of Hull,
you have a wide range of living options.
On campus or off campus. Catered or self-catered. Really affordable or really impressive. In the
thick of it, or somewhere quiet and out of the way. Whatever you choose, our accommodation
team are on hand to help you find the place that suits you best.
Of course, it’s helpful to actually see the different types of accommodation before you make a
decision. So if you haven’t already been to one of our applicant days or open days, come along
and we’ll be happy to show you around some of our residences. Just go to www.hull.ac.uk to find
out when our next events are on.
In the meantime, you can check out what’s available in this guide, and if you have any questions
feel free to drop us a line. We look forward to welcoming you in September 2019.

More life.
Experience More time.
more... More facilities.
More friends. 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.
Why the campus feels like
home to Georgia
“The campus brings a really inclusive
feel – everything is in walking distance,
and everyone is really cheerful and
helpful all the time.”

The Lawns
Leafy, fun-filled student village
The Lawns is, in effect, its own student village. Standing in
25 acres of landscaped parkland, it’is actually made up of six
separate halls, which are home to around 500 students.
All rooms are single, and you’ll find a mixture of en-suite and shared bathroom facilities.
Most of the halls are self-catered but one hall is semi-catered for those wanting a freshly prepared, home-
cooked meal each evening. Residents of other halls can choose to opt in for a catered package if they
wish, or can buy one-off evening meals at around £4 each.
At the heart of The Lawns, you’ll find the Lawns Centre. This bright, modern social hub boasts a café bar
with rooftop terrace, a licensed bar, a servery and dining hall, and is the ideal place to meet friends, grab a
bite to eat or catch an event.
Need to know
There’s also a lecture theatre that doubles as a cinema room, card-operated laundry facilities, social
learning areas, and a 25-station fitness suite and gym. 500 students
The Lawns Centre also has a multi-purpose studio offering regular sports and fitness activities, including
spinning, Zumba and dodgeball. If it’s football, basketball, netball or tennis you’re into, we’ve got that
covered too – with our outdoor sports courts, which are free to book for Lawns residents. Fees: £105 – £153 per week*

Out and about
Around the University
Just 10 minutes’ walk from the University (and the majority of our accommodation) is the thriving,
cosmopolitan Newland Avenue, and a little further South is Princes Avenue. By day, you’ll find quirky
shops, cosy coffee bars and a range of eateries. By night, it becomes one of the city’s most popular
social spots, with a wide selection of restaurants and bars. There are several supermarkets within
easy walking distance too, so you’ll never be stuck for those kitchen cupboard essentials.
In Cottingham
The Lawns lies in the leafy, laid-back village of Cottingham. On the outside, it may look like a quiet
community, but the picturesque setting disguises a thriving student centre – especially popular
among first years as they explore their new surroundings. Cottingham makes the perfect base for
getting used to student life. There are decent-sized supermarkets, cashpoints, a collection of cafés,
coffee bars, restaurants and takeaways, interesting independent shops … and, of course, a selection
of good pubs.

After your first year
University accommodation isn’t just for first years. You can apply
to live in our accommodation the following year, or for the full
duration of your studies.
You can apply to live with a group of friends in our houses, flats and halls, and continue to enjoy all
the benefits that living in University accommodation brings: location, community and quality living.
Affordable
Don’t be fooled into thinking the private sector is cheaper. Once you add on utility bills, internet
services, contents insurance and the extra weeks rent that come with longer contracts, things really
start to add up.
Live with friends
There are loads of options available for friends wanting to live together, from new on-campus flats, to
student houses and halls of residence. You’ll each have an individual tenancy and we won’t hold you
jointly liable if one of your friends doesn’t pay or decides to leave.
No nasty surprises
We never charge an admin fee and there are no scary credit checks.
Once you’ve settled in, gotten to know your housemates and people on your course, and know
where you’d like to live and who with, we’ll be happy to chat with you about your options.
