Accommodation Guide 2023-24

A place in halls, guaranteed

Halls are a place for everyone, with room enough to carve out your own space without being so big that they lose a sense of community. It is an opportunity to dive into a new, independent way of living.

What’s better is that we guarantee a place in College accommodation to all first-year undergraduate students, as long as you meet a few criteria:

• You’re studying at Imperial full-time for the full 2023-24 academic year

• You’ve applied for a place in College accommodation by 21 July 2023

• You’ve met the conditions of and accepted your academic offer from us by 25 August 2023

• You’ll be living at the College alone (sorry, we can’t accommodate families or partners)
