Accommodation

Choosing to live on campus gives students a unique experience and the opportunity to become independent in a friendly and safe environment.

We have halls of residence at three of our colleges; Moreton Morrell, Pershore and Royal Leamington Spa and we provide a range of catered and self catered accommodation for students on both further and higher education courses.

We have a dedicated residential team including Residential Wardens to give access to 24 hour support and returning students have the opportunity to become student wardens, gaining additional skills and experience.

Staff and student wardens live on site and try to make your time at college as enjoyable and trouble free as possible. The wardens are all very keen to assist the Students' Union with social, sporting and recreational activities and all residential students are made aware of the emergency warden telephone number during induction so they know how to get in touch.

A residential handbook is available from the residential team at each college on request.
