Living-in: Aberystwyth Accommodation

University accommodation

The really good things about Aberystwyth University Accommodation are:

  • First year guarantee: all UK students who apply by the appropriate deadline are guaranteed accommodation in their first year at University;
  • Quality: the University has spent more than £20 million in recent years upgrading its residences to keep pace with discerning student demand
  • Variety: catered or self-catering; en suite or shared facilities; corridor- or flat-based: all choices are catered for, with a range of prices to reflect the facilities of each;
  • Location: most of the accommodation is within very easy walking distance of your child’s lectures, libraries and recreational centres; and all this in a really lovely setting;
  • Facilities: Internet connection is available in all our residences and its price is included in the rent quoted;
  • Support: senior students and others offer pastoral support within residences to help students settle in and maintain a good community spirit in the hall;

Aberystwyth University’s accommodation is competitively priced.

You will find that Student Accommodation is similarly priced at most Universities; but always check what’s included in the price: how many weeks it covers, whether your son or daughter will have to move stuff out at Christmas and Easter, whether Internet connection is included, and so on

Private sector accommodation in Aberystwyth

There is an good supply of accommodation for rent in the town. The University’s Accommodation Office keeps a list of approved landlords whom we have found, over the years, to be trustworthy. The Office will also check over any rental contract before your son or daughter signs it, to ensure that it complies with good practice.

Read our Guide to Private Sector Accommodation. It’s written by James, one of our recent graduates, so it speaks from the Aberystwyth experience; but it’s full of good advice which applies to student accommodation anywhere.
