Exchange Students

Where to live during your time at Aberystwyth University will be one of your earliest concerns when planning your exchange visit. Aberystwyth University operates an Accommodation Service to help students find somewhere to live. At Aberystwyth approximately 48% of our students live in University Residences. The remainder of our students live in houses, flats (apartments) or bedsitting rooms in private sector accommodation in the town of Aberystwyth, which is within easy walking distance of the main campus and with a regular bus link.

Aberystwyth is a small tourist town of around 14,000 inhabitants and because of the large number of new students who arrive in September each year we cannot always offer accommodation in Residences to all visiting European exchange students. It will therefore be necessary for some visiting European exchange students to live in private sector accommodation.

Please note that we cannot confirm whether or not we can offer accommodation in Residences to Exchange students until early September (or early December in the case of Semester 2 students) when we have a clear indication of the level of our intake of students. Students should ensure that they complete and return the relevant application form obtainable from the International Office (see contact name and address below).
