Housing Forum

Private Sector Accommodation

Annual Housing Forum

Each year the Student Accommodation Office, in conjunction with the AWARE centre hold a Housing Forum. The aim of the forum is to give advice to students looking for private sector accommodation for the following academic year.

The 2010 Housing Forum was held on Wednesday 10th February 2010. For those that were unable to attend there is a copy of the presentation. (This document will open as a Powerpoint slide show)

International Students

Following on from the Housing Forum, an additional seminar will be held on Thursday 11th February 2010 in 8W3.22 at 6.15 pm.

This session is also held each year to give students the opportunity to ask more detailed questions to a panel of advisors (representing the Student Accommodation Office, AWARE and the International Office), and senior international students.

When to look for accommodation

Properties and rooms available for the academic 2010/2011 start being listed on the University database, Bathstudentpad.co.uk from 12th February 2010 for council accredited accommodation. Non-accredited vacancies will be added on 24th February 2010. Once 2010/2011 private sector availability is listed, the database is continually updated as we are notified of the relevant information.

Students are strongly recommended NOT to be pressurised by landlords or agents to commit to anything BEFORE the University database becomes available. Bath has plenty of private sector accommodation.
