A place to call home

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 prioritise you for 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 10 June of the cycle in which you applied),

– you submit your accommodation application online by the deadline (currently 10 June of the year of entry),

– you have not previously lived or studied at a university in London ( inside the M25 motorway)

Demand for accommodation in London is high, so we recommend applying as soon as possible once applications open.

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 with shared kitchen facilities where you prepare your own meals. Flats are equipped with a cooker, refrigerator, freezer, kettle, toaster and microwave.

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

We have a limited number of rooms available for students that have additional requirements. This can include:

– Students with disabilities and health conditions

– Students that are care experienced or estranged. We will provide 365-day accommodation in the first year and, if needed, for subsequent years of study. Email accommodation@ucl.ac.uk for details.

Further details about accommodation can be found on p92.
