A place to call home

Moving to a new city as a first-year undergraduate can be a major change, but you’ll find a warm welcome at UCL.

More than 150 countries are represented in our diverse student community, and you’ll make friends for life from all over the world here.

But first, you need a place to call home while you study. We will guarantee you accommodation in your first year, regardless of where you currently live, as long as:

– you will be a single, first-year undergraduate, – you have chosen UCL as your firm choice through UCAS by the deadline (currently 31 May of the cycle in which you applied), – you submit your accommodation application online by the deadline (currently 31 May of the year of entry), – you have not previously lived or studied at a university in London (inside the

M25 motorway).

Types of accommodation available

– Catered accommodation in which meals are included (breakfast and an evening dinner from Monday to Friday and brunch on Saturday and Sunday). You also have access to a small kitchen to prepare meals outside these times. – Self-catered accommodation where you will share kitchen facilities (cooker, refrigerator, freezer, kettle, toaster and microwave) to prepare your own meals. All UCL accommodation is offered for 39 weeks and is located in central London (Zones 1 or 2 of London’s public transport network).

Students with additional requirements

– Students with disabilities: we have a limited number of rooms available for students with additional requirements.
