Which students are guaranteed accommodation?

We offer student accommodation to both new and returning students from the UK or abroad, undergraduate or postgraduate.

We have a wide range of accommodation for students in Exeter from houses and flats to traditional residences. Whether it is a cheap room or a modern residence you are after the University of Exeter has a range of accommodation styles and budgets to suit you.

New students

We welcome applications from all students and we guarantee to offer you accommodation if you are:

• A year one undergraduate, unaccompanied home, EU or international student who has firmly accepted an offer of a place at the University of Exeter.
• An unaccompanied international postgraduate from outside of the EU in your first year of study.
  Note: You are defined as an international student only if you pay international fees.
• An unaccompanied incoming study abroad and Erasmus student at Exeter for the full academic year.

Please use our student accommodation search to find a residence that suits you.

We encourage you to apply by 31 July and we will prioritise applications received by this date when allocating accommodation. 

If you have the University of Exeter as your insurance or clearing choice you will be able to apply once your university offer is confirmed. We will process applications in the order that we receive them.

Should your preferred choice not be available, we will provide assistance in finding alternative accommodation. Please contact us.

Returning students

We offer rooms to returning students - undergraduate and postgraduate students in any year of study after their first year - meaning you can continue to enjoy the benefits and convenience of living in university accommodation throughout your academic career.
