Commuting Students

If you’re considering living at home and commuting to university, our sites have plenty of options and don’t worry, you’ll still be able to access all of the extras that make being a University of Chester student so good.

Public Transport

Chester has high-quality public transport links within the city itself, and the region beyond, and these make it really easy to commute. Chester train and bus stations are a 15-minute walk away from our Exton Park learning site,

Shrewsbury has a train and bus station nearby and our

Warrington site is in the heart of the town centre, easily accessible by bus and train.

Driving

We are also able to offer a small number of parking permits to those students who meet the specified criteria; students with disabilities and those who have the furthest to travel are prioritised.

Top Tips From Our Commuting Students

• Give yourself plenty of time to arrive and recharge before a session starts. • Use your commuting time on the train to get work done or prepare instead of wasting it. • You always have the option to stay at a friend’s accommodation or in University accommodation. • Don’t leave straight away after your lessons, make an effort to stay on campus for a while.
