University of Portsmouth

On-Campus Accommodation:

When you rent an apartment, you get the keys to your home and can enter a new social circle. If you are a unique, full-time undergraduate applicant, the university will guarantee you a room in the residence halls if you make us your firm first choice and adhere to our deadline for housing.

Some of the perks of living in halls:

• Near the campus, all residence halls are in Portsmouth's city centre. It would be best if you arrived on time, regardless of how early your first lecture is
• Every room has a bed, a desk, storage, and lots of outlets for your phone, laptop, and other necessities
• You will always be connected because you have free WiFi and internet
• Gas, electricity, heating, water, and basic insurance are all included in the price of your stay
• Most of the rooms include private bathrooms with a shower, basin, and toilet
• All of the single rooms are exclusively yours for the whole of the academic year, including the Easter and Christmas break

Off-Campus Accommodation:

To assist you in adjusting to renting in the private sector, universities provide a wealth of support. The university offers drop-in sessions, housing events, online tools, and a student matching service. You have complete control over your living arrangements when you rent privately. Parking spots are hard to come by in Portsmouth, so you should leave your car at home.

From the scenic seaside to the city centre and beyond, Portsmouth features a variety of attractive and energetic neighbourhoods. Exploring is straightforward because the city is small and can be covered in an hour by foot or 20 minutes by bike. If you share a house or apartment, you will often live with 3 to 5 other individuals. For rent and bills combined, you should budget £390–£520 per person each month. Your weekly costs will be between £25 and £40, and your rent will be between £80 and £95.

University Studentpad service can help you locate rental homes. You can use Studentpad to search a database of student residences, apartments, private halls of living, and other accommodations that have been authorised to advertise with the university student housing team.
