Student Accommodation Services

Student accommodation

welcome to the University of Bath Student Accommodation website - the place to find about everything concerning accommodation during your studying at Bath. The Accommodation Office, under the general control of the Head of Accommodation and Hospitality Services, strives to exceed customer expectation through developing service and standards by seeing into the future and creating it now.

The main activities of the Office are:

Application for Accommodation

The Student Accommodation Office regrets that it is unable to accept any more applications for accommodation as the waiting list that opened on 24 August is over-subscribed.

Therefore you need to seek private sector accommodation through the BathStudentPad database. Please follow the information and guidance given at the private sector accommodation section of our website, and use the BathStudentPad database to see what is currently advertised.

The University is planning to arrange another House Hunting Weekend on 11/12 September, and details of this event will be published by 4 September.

If you want to contact other students in a similar situation, use the BathStudentPad message board.

Twin Rooms 2010-11

We have introduced this year some twin rooms (for 2 students to share) as a great value option. There will be one twin room in each of the Eastwood Houses 1-19, for undergraduates. Each house accommodates 11-12 students sharing a communal kitchen and communal shower/bathroom facilities.
There will also be a number of twin rooms available in the John Wood complex and the Lodge for older mature undergraduates or postgraduate students sharing communal facilities with fewer students.
If allocated to a twin room, this will be your permanent room for the academic year. If a sharer leaves or transfers to another room, for whatever reason, before the end of the contract, the remaining sharer will have three options:
a) To find another UOB student within 14 days, not currently in university residence, who wishes to share their room.
b) To keep the shared room for their sole use and to pay the increased weekly rent for a large room
c) To move to a standard single room, which may be in another residence

The cost of an Eastwood twin room will be £55 per person per week and sole use of one of these rooms will cost £95 per week.
The cost of a twin room in the Lodge or John Wood complex will be £65 per person per week or £95/£105 per week depending on size if occupied by only one person.

Allocation Policy 2010-11

The Student Accommodation Allocation Policy is reviewed annually in conjunction with the Vice-Chancellor’s Group; Registry and the President of the Students’ Union and is subject to change. The Student Accommodation Office is committed to ensuring that all applications are dealt with as fairly and transparently as possible throughout the allocation process.

We never guarantee any preferences at any stage because it is impossible to determine how many accommodation applicants will actually become 'unconditional firm' students in August after the A-level results. Alongside this factor, is the overwhelming demand for certain room types and complexes, such as Woodland, Marlborough and Solsbury Courts which always exceeds supply in a relatively short space of time.

Providing we receive an application by the deadline of 13th August 2010, University accommodation is guaranteed for one academic year from September to:

• All new to Bath, full-time students in their first year studying Bachelor’s and Master’s undergraduate programmes on the Claverton Campus.
• All new Foundation Year students based at the City of Bath College.
• All new full-time Foundation Degree in Sports Performance students
• All new overseas fee-paying postgraduates.
• A limited number of visiting/exchange students as determined by reciprocal agreement negotiated through the Study Abroad Department at the University of Bath
• Students with specific medical conditions. Please see this weblink
