Purpose-built student accommodation

Purpose-built student accommodation – also known as “halls of residence” or “student halls” – is a popular option for many students. 

Our partnered accommodation with Campus Living Villages (CLV)

• - Exclusively for new undergraduate students in their first year of study, Peel Park Quarter offers ensuite accommodation on Peel Park campus.

We highly recommend CLV accommodation because it is exclusively for �������� students. CLV provides a safe, supportive and social environment where you can make new friends, join in with weekly events and activities, experience new things and feel part of our vibrant student community. However, if you prefer somewhere different there are other student halls across �������� within about 10-15 minutes of one of our campuses. Make sure you read our top tips below before booking anything.

House-shares and other private rented accommodation

Private rented accommodation such as house-shares, apartments and flats are particularly popular with returning students. There are loads of house-shares across �������� and Manchester in properties ranging in size from three to four rooms up to seven+ rooms. There are also plenty of flats and apartments suitable for single occupants, couples or friends. 

House-shares are often cheaper than purpose-built student accommodation. A room in a house-share typically costs £550-£800 per month depending on the property and area. Apartments are more expensive but can be a good option if you’re splitting the cost with a partner or friend. One and two-bedroom apartments tend to start around £800 or £950 respectively and can be up to £1,500+ per month for higher end properties. 

There are numerous platforms available to find accommodation in the private rental market. We’ve listed some well-known options below, but we do not vet any of the landlords or agents, so be aware of potential scams and never pay any money unless you are sure the situation is legitimate. .

Short-term or temporary accommodation

Most accommodation contracts are 42 to 51 weeks in purpose-built student accommodation or six to 12 months in the wider rental market, but there are some shorter-term options available if you aren’t here for the full academic year. 

As well as looking for short-term rentals on the platforms listed above, you could try the following websites if you need somewhere to stay for just a few days or weeks. Remember that we don’t moderate these platforms, so stay vigilant against potential scams and don’t part with any money unless you’re sure.

If you are joining us in January, we recommend you check directly with our local purpose-built student accommodation providers. They sometimes have rooms available from January until June or August. 

Sometimes other students advertise the remainder of their tenancies for take over. This can be a good way to find short-term accommodation, but before you take over someone else’s tenancy, make sure the landlord approves of it. If the landlord is unaware, you could end up being asked to leave.
