Information for Visiting / Erasmus Exchange Students

Every year we receive visiting students via the Erasmus Exchange and other exchange programmes. Exchange students may come for just one semester or for the full academic year, which means that their accommodation needs are often different to the majority of our students.

We are not normally able to offer accommodation in the University Halls for visiting students in Semster 1, but we are here to offer help and advice to students coming over as visiting students. You will find a great deal more information in the Private Rented section of our website, but there are also some specific documents for visiting and Erasmus students which you can download from the right hand side of this page.

As a visiting or Erasmus student you will need to find accommodation in the private sector for the duration of your stay. Southampton has a thriving property market, which means that students have a wide variety of choice and locations of where to stay.

We would suggest that you look at the Private Rented Section of our website for more information.

If you are a visiting or Erasmus student joining the University in Semester 2 (i.e. early 2012) we may be able to make you an offer of accommodation, depdening on room availability. Please visit our accommodation in the current year section for more details and to submit an application form. You can also email accommodation@soton.ac.uk if you have any questions or would like more information.
