Accommodation
When you come to study with us, you can choose to live in halls of residence or privately-owned housing. We have a selection of accommodation available on the new Waterside Campus, in the Town Centre and in the Student Village on Boughton Green Road.
We offer single and twin rooms with shared bathrooms or en-suites and complete with halls facilities and services. The rooms are all equipped with network access and WiFi, as well as 24-hour security and a dedicated support team.
If you’re unsure about what life in Halls entails, visit our Living in Halls page.
If you have made an application for accommodation, you will need to know important information about your room offer and extra information about TV licensing.

Fees
Accommodation fees vary depending on the hall and room type, but all heating, lighting and water costs are included, as well as personal possessions insurance cover from Endsleigh Insurance. You will have to pay a £300 refundable deposit within seven days of receiving your room offer, which is usually in the March before you are due to start your course. It’s a good idea to plan ahead for this.

The residency period for 2019/20 is 42 weeks for UK students, and 43 weeks for EU and international students. Priority for halls is given to disabled and first year students new to Northampton, with limited car parking at off-campus accommodation available for eligible students.
