You normally live outside the Southampton City boundaries
-
You make the University of Southampton your Firm choice (for undergraduate students only)
-
Your application is received by the 1st August in the year in which your studies commence
-

*Full time and studying for a complete academic year.

In years of exceptional demand, in order to meet our guarantee we may offer accommodation in twin-shared room at the start of the academic year for a short period. We may also offer accommodation provided by Liberty Living, a private provider who offer good quality rooms in two halls in Southampton, Mercury Point and Orion's Point.
All non-EU international students are guaranteed an offer of accommodation in each of their years of study in Southampton, providing they apply by the relevant deadline. This would be the 1st August in their first year, and before the start of Semester 2 for their second year application.
