Living in University accommodation is the beginning of something very exciting, giving you the opportunity to meet new people and make friends for life in a supportive, fun and vibrant community!

There is no need to worry about fluctuating bills as the accommodation fees include utilities (e.g. water, heating, electricity), internet connection & Wi-Fi, a high level of personal contents insurance and free Sports Centre platinum membership! Additional benefits can be found on our Why live with us webpage.

The School of Education at Aberystwyth University will contact you with information on how you can apply for University accommodation. You will only be eligible to apply:

1. When you have met your entry requirements and have enrolled onto the course.
2. When you have activated your Aberystwyth University IT account – this will be from July onwards when Information Services start sending e-mails inviting students to activate their IT account.

If you are interested in the inclusive accommodation offer, then you will need to successfully complete an online application form for University accommodation. Please refer to our How to Apply webpage for a handy step-by-step guide.

If living in University accommodation is not for you, then alternatively you may prefer to live in Private Sector Accommodation.

Aber Students’ Union Advice Service provides information, advice and support on all aspects of housing in University accommodation and the private sector.
