Dear
Going to University is all about new experiences and where you live plays a huge part in your experience of University life at Brunel. Leaving home for the first time is a big step and it helps if you know you will be living in a comfortable, safe and supportive environment. Brunel's halls of residence are all on campus, meaning you are only minutes away from the teaching, sporting and social facilities. Each hall is unique in both character and design, but all provide a warm welcome. Brunel has an inclusive and dynamic student community, with a strong spirit of belonging and participation. Our halls of residence are some of the best value you can find in London.
I am a Clearing/Adjustment student will I be offered accommodation?
Clearing and Adjustment applicants who hold an Unconditional Firm offer with Brunel University London and apply for accommodation by 1 September are guaranteed a campus room. If you would like to be considered for campus accommodation you will need to complete the accommodation application form online. When you have an Unconditional Firm offer with Brunel you will be given a Brunel student ID number and you will need this to complete our online accommodation application form. The first step is registering with the Accommodation Services Hub online service to submit your room preferences and complete the application form. You will be able to submit this form approximately 24 hours after you have been issued with your Brunel student ID number.
Accommodation for Clearing and Adjustment applicants is allocated based on the date that both your room application and your unconditional offer are received by Accommodation Services. To secure accommodation you must ensure that you accept the room offer within the time frame given (normally 2 to 3 days) and have funds readily available to pay the £350 booking fee (2015/16 single rooms). It is important that you complete these steps within the time frame given. Please note: Clearing and Adjustment students who apply after 1 September may have to wait until later for a campus room, as this will be subject to availability.
What type of Accommodation is on offer?
The Brunel campus provides self-catering accommodation for approximately 4532 students in 33 halls of residence, which include 113 studio flats for co-habiting couples. All new students are given priority for accommodation and there is no distance radius for eligibility. Each hall has its own character and you can discover more about them by visiting the individual hall web pages.
Every standard and en suite room is exclusive to you, so you have the advantage of your own private bedroom. All the accommodation on campus is self-catered offering flexibility and independence. You determine your food budget, prepare your own meals and decide when and what to eat. If you don't wish to cook for yourself there are several places to eat around campus.
What facilities are available in the Halls of Residence and on campus?
All rooms have WIFI internet access via the University network, which is included in your rent. All campus accommodation fees include limited personal insurance cover, heating (from specific dates and times) and lighting. You will be provided with bedding in your room and have access to a laundrette within each Halls of Residence. Some halls also have lift access.
Along with the benefits that come as part of your accommodation we also offer extra services which range from additional cleaning services, cleaning packs and kitchen packs.
For further information about what facilities are provided in each halls of residence please visit our facilities guide.
As well as the facilities within your Halls of Residence the campus also has a lot to offer. All the essentials are on campus including a bank, medical centre, pharmacy, shop, gym and off-campus Housing Office.
There is a regular market including fruit and veg stalls and catering outlets such as Subway and Proud to Serve Costa. You will also have the opportunity to join some of Brunel's clubs and society's through the Student Union.
We know how important it is for students to feel safe when living away from home and Brunel University prides itself on having a safe and secure campus. There is a dedicated 24 hours per day 7 days per week, Security Team located on campus.
What do I need to do to accept my room offer?
