Staying in university accommodation

There is a variety of student accommodation for students in Leeds. We recommend that you book your accommodation before you arrive in Leeds. 

You can stay in any of the university's halls during your studies and we guarantee accommodation to international applicants so long as you apply for accommodation before 31st July. University halls are great place to meet new people. Most halls have en-suite bathrooms available and are shared between 2-6 students. All your bills are included in the rent and with 24-hour security you can feel safe in your new home. 

Useful information for international applicants 

If you will still be 17 years of age when you arrive, then you are very welcome to live in university accommodation.

We will try and put you in a flat with other students of a similar age though you might still share a kitchen or living space with students over 18. The Residence Life team will check in on you regularly to make sure your parents know you're doing okay, as they are still responsible for your welfare.
