Residences
Most of our halls are self-catered; students can purchase food in our well-stocked shop, at our food outlets or receive food deliveries from external suppliers. A catered package is also available at Glasney Student Village.
"Living in Glasney Student Village means you are at the centre of everything."
"You have the Stannary a few minutes away, a gym, the student shop, an extensive library and bus stop with frequent buses into Falmouth and the neighbouring areas. The community feel you get means you quickly make a circle of friends and you always have a sense of security within the 24-hour Glasney Lodge."

Glasney Student Village
Glasney Student Village is located within the grounds of Penryn Campus and accommodates over 1800 students. The 90-acre site has spectacular views over Falmouth and Penryn, the sea and the surrounding countryside. The on-campus facilities include a gym, a refectory (called The Stannary), cafes and a bar, a live events venue, shop and Accommodation and Student Support Services. It is only a twenty minute bus ride from Falmouth town and a ten minute walk from Penryn town centre.
Students share a flat with eight to nine others from the University of Exeter and Falmouth University with each flat offering a fully equipped kitchen area. The ensuite bedrooms are fully furnished and each flat has a shared kitchen area. We are able to offer students the choice of a single occupancy room with a double bed or Studybed or shared occupancy rooms furnished with Studybeds to offer a more affordable option for students on a tighter budget.
Studybeds rotate between two functions, acting alternatively as a single bed and a large desk area; the innovative design means there is no need to clear the desk before rotating to the bed function.
There are a maximum of two shared rooms per flat.
The Halls Team are on hand to support all residents during their stay at Glasney Village. Staff are available in Glasney Lodge 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to deal with your enquiries or problems.
