If you’re joining us via Clearing or haven't yet secured a room
Please be aware that BU accommodation options are now full.
- We recommend you only accept an offer of a place with us if you have no accommodation requirements, for example if you already live within the area and can travel to campus. If you are already on the waiting list, you will remain on it and be contacted if a room becomes available.
- There is very limited private accommodation in the local area. We have some information on private accommodation options to help you.
- If you are able to find private accommodation, we recommend that you do not commit to an accommodation contract unless your application is showing on UCAS as Unconditional Firm (U/F).
- If you haven’t found long-term accommodation by the start of the academic year, you might be eligible for our Accommodation Bursary* to support you with your living costs, while you live in temporary accommodation. As part of the bursary, you will also be added to an accommodation waiting list, and we will do everything we can to support you in securing long-term accommodation for the duration of the academic year 2022/23, including contacting you as soon as long-term BU accommodation becomes available. *Terms and conditions apply.
- Alternatively, you may wish to defer your place and join us in September 2023 when you will be guaranteed BU accommodation. We really hope that you will become part of our community. However, if you do not wish to accept the Bursary or defer your entry, you can also withdraw your offer of a place with us.
