Undergraduate Accommodation www.nottingham.ac.uk/accommodation
Your home in Nottingham For many students, living in University accommodation at Nottingham provides some of their happiest memories. We offer lots of choice – a variety of room types within catered, part-catered and self-catered halls – but wherever you live, you can be sure of a strong sense of community and facilities that are designed with students in mind. We also recognise that not everyone will want the same thing from their experience of living at Nottingham and provide advice and support to help make your time here as comfortable as possible.
If you have any questions after reading this guide, please contact us using the details on page 10.

Undergraduate Accommodation www.nottingham.ac.uk/accommodation
Somewhere to live – GUARANTEED! We guarantee a room to all new, full-time undergraduates for the first year of their study. There are three conditions and they are that you: • firmly accept your course place at Nottingham • apply to us for accommodation by the set deadline* • accept your accommodation offer by the deadline given in your offer letter * Please see www.nottingham.ac.uk/accommodation
If you are a new, full-time undergraduate student who is classified as international for fee purposes, you will be guaranteed a room for three years.* * Providing you submit your returners’ application in line with the requirements of the accommodation providers.
Please try to submit your application by the deadline. We’ll do our best to find you a room if you apply after then, but we can’t guarantee this. If Nottingham is your insurance choice or you apply through Clearing you will only be able to apply for accommodation once you’ve made us your firm choice. Again, we’ll do our best to help but cannot offer the guarantee. Accommodation available through the guarantee: • Catered accommodation at University Park and Jubilee Campuses* • Self-catered accommodation near to University Park and Jubilee Campuses** • Part-catered accommodation at Sutton Bonington Campus** Catered halls (University Park and Jubilee Campuses)* If you don’t want to worry about cooking in your first year, catered halls are a good choice. You’ll be able to eat with your hall friends and take the opportunity to make friends over breakfast and dinner.

Self-catered halls near University Park and Jubilee Campuses (Albion House, Broadgate Park, Raleigh Park and St Peter’s Court)** Living in self-catered halls gives you the freedom to eat what you want, when you want. You’ll share a kitchen with other students and have the facilities you need to cook your own meals. Meal times are usually very social occasions! Part-catered halls (Sutton Bonington Campus)** If you’re based at Sutton Bonington and choose to live in University accommodation, you’ll get the best of both worlds: evening meals during the week but also the facilities to prepare your own meals at other times. * Owned and operated by The University of Nottingham. ** Operated by third-party recognised providers of student accommodation.
Information for... Families We have a small number of places in University houses for families and couples – please see our website for details. We recommend you arrange your accommodation before your family or partner moves to join you.

We have accessible rooms on each campus and on Broadgate Park, which can also be adapted to meet a student’s individual requirements. Students with specific requests If you have medical, religious or other requirements, we will take this into consideration according to priority and availability. We’ll need to see written supporting evidence of a medical condition.
