Accommodation at The University of  Winchester

 

Where you live is in an important factor in deciding where to study.  It is so much more than just a place to live, and that is why the University has invested heavily in recent years building two new student villages on campus to accompany the excellent catered and self catered accommodation on the King Alfred Campus and at West Downs.

 

The University of Winchester offers cost effective, high-quality accommodation on campus and in Winchester. Our study bedrooms are available in a range of prices.

 

The University guarantees on campus accommodation or off campus University Managed Housing to all first year full time undergraduate students who hold Winchester as their firm choice.

 

Depending on demand in any one year, restrictions may need to apply.  These would be advertised on our website and in the Guide to Housing send when an offer to study is made. 

 

Campus accommodation is located on the King Alfred Campus and at West Downs, all within walking distance of the city centre.  All accommodation is close to University facilities including mini-mart shops, launderettes, the University Gym and catering facilities. Catered accommodation is on a part-board basis and students use their campus ID cards to purchase meals from the University's catering outlets.
