STUDENT HOUSING TRAVEL & FUNDING

Travel

Our campuses are served by the local public transport network and many students get to WCUC by bus or train.

Wiltshire Council offer a bus pass to WCUC students who are aged between 16-18 and live in Wiltshire and more than three miles from campus. The bus pass allows you to make one journey to and from campus on days when it is open and costs £900 or a lower rate of £300 if your household income is less than £20,819.

To find out more about the options open to you, please visit the Wiltshire Council website.

Funding

For those under 19, tuition for Further Education courses is free. Under 19 students who live in a household with a low income or receive means tested benefits may be eligible for a college bursary to help with costs such as travel to college and course costs including equipment, trips and uniform.

Students who are entitled to a bursary may be eligible for free meals whilst at college.

Accommodation

Did you know we offer student accommodation at our Lackham and Salisbury campuses?

Living on campus offers a unique college experience and can be an ideal first step to moving away from home. You’ll gain confidence from a new-found independence and be surrounded by friends in the comfort of a safe environment.

Our rooms are available to everyone, although students on our land-based and university-level courses in particular benefit from living on site.

Salisbury is one of the most colourful locations in the county and hosts regular exciting events and activities. Although our Lackham campus is located a little way out of town – it is a short drive from Chippenham – there is no chance of you feeling cut adrift. The on-site sports hall and gym are open to residential students after college hours, while our ‘Snack Attack’ tuck shop serves hot food and snack treats and trips to the supermarket run on a weekly basis.

Our Accommodation Team work hard to provide a safe environment for students living on campus as well as organising regular enrichment projects and activities to ensure there is always something going on outside of timetabled hours.
