Accommodation
 

Private sector advice 

  • Missed the Housing Forum?  Look through the presentation for information and advice
  • Before starting your search decide who you are going to live with, then you can house hunt together
  • Don't sign your Tenancy Agreement until the Students’ Union have checked it for you
  • Don't feel pressurised into accepting a place until you're sure
  • Find out how much notice you need to give before moving out
  • Check how much the rent, deposit and bills are
 

Finding accommodation

Resources are available that offer all the advice and info you’ll need to find a place in the private sector. From info on where to live, to checking through your contracts and providing legal advice, they will guide you through the process. 

Family accommodation

Furnished family accommodation at a reasonable cost is difficult to find.  Families can expect to pay £500 - £700 per month plus bills for a small house or flat.

We recommend that students with families secure suitable accommodation before their spouses and/or children join them in Bath.

We will always do our best to provide a new student with temporary single accommodation while they seek appropriate family accommodation.

Please contact the Student Accommodation Office in advance of your arrival, to make suitable arrangements.

Temporary accommodation

A limited number of rooms in University residences are available during the summer vacation for temporary short stay bookings. Alternatively try:

  • YMCA
