International Student Accommodation

As an international coming to study in the UK, our accommodations offer a variety of benefits, including free cancellation if your visa or university place falls through and no UK guarantor needed to name a few. With 24/7 support, secure facilities, and a friendly community, they are designed to make your move smooth and hassle-free. Visit our dedicated International Students page for more information.

Other useful pages include our dedicated Indian Students page, or if you're a parent looking for accommodation for your children, head to our Parents Page. Alternatively, check out our guide to living in the UK as an international student on our YouTube channel here.

You need to book your accommodation before coming to the UK as a requirement of your VISA application. Your accommodation should cover the duration of your studies.

Other things to consider:

• Review the latest government guidance: UK Government – Entering the UK.
• Ensure you have travel and health insurance if necessary​​.

Our villages are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There will be someone at reception to welcome you whatever time you arrive. If you have your flight details already you can let us know in advance so we can have everything ready for your arrival.

If you are not from the UK, your guarantor can be from your home country. We require a guarantor for all our bookings – this should be someone who is (a) over the age of 18, and (b) willing to agree to the terms and conditions of your contract.

September starters only: If you require a VISA to study in the UK and you don’t get your university offer or your VISA is rejected, we may be able to cancel your agreement and refund any deposit or advance rent paid in full.

For more details, see the Cancellations Policy section on the Terms and Conditions page. 

We are only able to provide your keys to you.

Don’t worry if you can’t collect your keys at the start of your tenancy, simply let us know, and we’ll make sure your keys are waiting for you at reception when you arrive.

If you are an EU student arriving in the UK from 2021, who is studying a course which is longer than six months, then you will need to apply for a visa. You can do this by visiting the Government website. If you are an Irish national, you will not need to apply for a visa.

If you are an EU student who is studying a course than is less than six months, then the new visitor route rules will apply to you. Please note that this replaces the current short-term study visa.

If you are an EU student who is already in the UK and has not yet applied for pre-settled status, then you will need to submit an application for the EU Settlement Scheme. Obtaining pre-settled status means that you will be allowed to leave the UK and return without restrictions for a period of five years.

The EU Settlement Scheme is free of charge, and you can apply by clicking here. Within your settlement application, you will be asked to provide proof about how long you have lived in the UK. You can do this by providing your National Insurance number, if you do not have a National Insurance number then you will need to provide a relevant alternative option.​

Some universities offer free and convenient transport from the airport to your village. Get in touch with them in the first instance to see if this applies to you.​

We accept international payments from all major debit and credit cards, and you can log into your booking to make a payment. If you have any issues with making a payment, please contact your Village via the Contact Us page.

Note: This does not apply to customers who do not have a contract with Campus Living Villages. Please refer to your contract for further information or contact your Landlord (via the details specified in your contract) if you have any questions relating to this matter.

Your contract contains the address of your village which can be used as proof of address.

A copy of your contract will have been emailed to you when your booking was confirmed and is also available when you log into your booking. If you can’t locate the contract, you can get assistance from your Village Team. Visit the Contact Us page to find the details of each of our villages, or you can submit an enquiry via our contact form.

Your bedroom will have a bed, desk, chair, wardrobe, and either curtains or blinds. For more information on what is included in your room and flat, please check the Village Guide tab in the resident portal.
