Can I view the accommodation before picking a room?
Current students may be able to view rooms and will need to contact the halls to arrange this. Prospective or new students can only view rooms during Undergraduate Open Days. You can also view pictures of sample bedrooms and communal areas for each of our accommodation options on our website.
If you would like to come and view the buildings and surroundings you can come along and take a self-guided tour at our Talbot or Lansdowne campus. We offer an open campus policy during working hours and you can collect a self-guided tour booklet from one of our reception desks when you arrive, or download them in advance.
The Lansdowne Campus is where the majority of our Halls of Residence are located – Chesil House, Purbeck House, Lyme Regis House, Dorchester House, Bailey Point, Belaton House and Cranborne House.
The Talbot Campus is home to the Student Village. You’ll be able to get a feel for the area and see where each of the accommodation blocks are in relation to other university buildings and what facilities you have close by.
