The University offers more than 5000 places in 20 halls of residence and is one of the largest providers of accommodation to students in the UK.
We offer all full time, registered* undergraduate students a place in halls during their first year of study, providing the following criteria are met:
-
You normally live outside the Southampton City boundaries
-
You make the University of Southampton your Firm choice (for undergraduate students only)
-
Your application is received by 1st August in the year in which your studies commence
-
You are unaccompanied, i.e. you do not bring any dependants, such as a partner and/or children.
*Full time and studying for a complete academic year.
If you have made us your Insurance choice, you will be offered accommodation in a twin share room for the start of term, as long as you meet the other terms of the guarantee. You would then be offered a single room as soon as one becomes available; typically this would be within the first six weeks of term.

In years of exceptional demand, in order to meet our guarantee we may offer firm-choice students accommodation in twin-shared rooms at the start of the academic year for a short period. We may also offer accommodation provided by Liberty Living, a private provider who offer good quality rooms in two halls in Southampton, Mercury Point and Orion's Point.
