ÃÛÌÒ´«Ãºmv

ÃÛÌÒ´«Ãºmv prides itself on providing the most affordable accommodation in Leicester for its students.

The university owned and managed halls of residence at Bede Hall and New Wharf, both close to its city centre campus, are nearly £40 a week less than the cheapest private providers and more than £50 a week less than the most expensive.

All first-years starting at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ãºmv are also guaranteed a place in the Bede Hall or New Wharf accommodation when accepting an offer to studying in Leicester.

The university-owned halls at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ãºmv also work out much cheaper than the national average.

University owned

Bede Hall £95 per week (£3,908 a year)

New Wharf £112 (£4,628)

Private providers

Newarke Street £147 per week (£6,341)

Glassworks £158 (£6,794)

Castle Court £141 (£6,095)

Liberty Park £134 (£5,979)

Newarke Place £143 (£6,185)

The difference between Bede Hall and the most expensive private provider is £2,886 a year, and still £2,071 a year cheaper than the least expensive halls at Liberty Park.

The national average, according to the latest National Student Accommodation, is around £140 a month or £6,000 a year – more than £2,000 higher than the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ãºmv owned and managed halls.

A spokesman for ÃÛÌÒ´«Ãºmv also stated: “You do not need a guarantor for ÃÛÌÒ´«Ãºmv owned/managed halls, but private providers will request one. If you do not have a guarantor you could have to pay the full annual rent upfront (as well as things like booking payments and damage deposits) before you can move in.”

Both Bede Hall and New Wharf are close to the main campus and within a short walk of the city centre.

In the most recent survey by Uni Compare, student scores rated ÃÛÌÒ´«Ãºmv accommodation as the 11^th best in the UK in a direct comparison with all British universities.
