A range of comfortable, affordable accommodation
There are three main types of accommodation:
Catered halls of residence provide a community environment where you will have your meals prepared by our team of friendly staff and have the opportunity to make friends with a diverse range of people.
Self-catered halls of residence
If you want the independence to cook for yourself and live in a small community, Coventry offers a variety of properties to choose from. En-suite study bedrooms are available in some residences, while others provide the same freedom but with the kitchen and bathroom facilities shared with other students living in each flat or house.
For postgraduate students there are dedicated properties offering self catered en-suite accommodation with different facilities depending on which type of room you choose.
University houses offer you the opportunity to be part of a small community in the local area. All the houses are within walking distance of the campus.
Houses vary in size from 5 - 30 bedroom properties, all offer kitchen and bathroom facilities proportional to the size of property and in most a lounge area.
