Accommodation information for new and current students

The following documents contain useful information about properties managed by our Residential Services team.

If you have booked a room in one of the properties listed below then you should have received your arrival documentation from the local accommodation team. If you have not received this, if you have any questions or need further details from any of these properties then please contact the local team directly.

This information is for students who have booked their accommodation in the BU portfolio. If you have booked private accommodation then you will need to contact your landlord/provider direct about your arrival.

Arrival information:

Only students who have completed their booking and their BU online induction will be able to collect their key and move-in. The induction will be emailed out to you from 24 August. 

To limit the number of people arriving at any given time our timeslots for arrivals this year are available from Thursday 15 to Sunday 18 September and we are asking that you only bring one other person to help with your move-in. We are taking this approach to try and control numbers and help with the safety of all students and staff and appreciate your cooperation. 

Arrival maps:

To help you prepare for your arrival please look at our useful local arrivals maps:

• Student Arrivals Map – Student Village (pdf 207kb)
• Student Arrivals Map – All other halls of residence (pdf 120kb)

​If you are moving into one of our Unilet properties then we will be in touch with you direct to discuss and agree your specific arrival and key pick-up. However, this will be from our Talbot Campus (see Student Village map above).

Once you have secured your room in BU accommodation, you might be thinking about what to expect and what to bring with you. We have put together some information to help with your preparations to move here along with a series of useful FAQs about living in BU accommodation that will hopefully answer all of your questions. If after reading through these you still have an unanswered question then please contact us and we will be happy to help.
