Your room is a great place to start your university journey.
It is a space filled with potential to meet new people, the place to run a movie marathon, learn to cook or share a pizza with your flatmates. It’s your private space where you can study or kick back at the end of a long day.
All our rooms have a bed, desk, drawers and plenty of sockets. Some are en suite, depending on what you choose.
It’s more than a room - it's your new home.
