4-star University Accommodation with Diverse Living Options

Accommodation Variety

Lancaster University offers a wide range of accommodation types, including postgraduate housing located in Graduate College. Students can choose from one-bedroom flats suitable for couples to three-bedroom family homes, catering to varying needs. A dedicated approval scheme, Lancaster University Homes, identifies the best city housing options for students.

Room Types

There are 3,661 ensuite bedrooms and 1,952 bedrooms with shared facilities across the campus. Self-contained studios, totaling 154 units, include private washroom facilities and kitchenettes. This variety aims to suit different undergraduate preferences and budgets, promoting a welcoming community atmosphere.

Family-Friendly Options

Families can find suitable accommodation with children in designated two and three-bedroom flats located throughout the campus. Access to essential facilities, like schools and a pre-school center, supports the needs of family life. This proximity to university departments allows for flexibility in studies around family commitments.

Catering Choices

Most accommodation options are self-catered, but four colleges provide catered dining options. Students residing in catered accommodation enjoy breakfast and lunch or dinner daily throughout the term. Dietary needs can be accommodated by the catering team to ensure food suitability.

Student Support

Accommodation Ambassadors assist in showcasing flats during campus tours, creating an engaging environment for new students. The university supports study abroad students with visits to available on-campus rooms or partnerships with local housing. Regular housing fairs help returning students explore various accommodation options before reapplying.

Highlights

Accommodation: 3,661 ensuite bedrooms, 1,952 shared rooms

Family: Two and three-bedroom flats suitable for families

Dining: Catered options with breakfast and lunch or dinner

Support: Accommodation Ambassadors facilitate tours

Housing: Regular fairs for returning students

“Staying on the Lancaster University campus brings a unique convenience, especially for university events, with functional rooms and on-site dining options. The proximity to the M6 motorway means you might hear some traffic, but the benefits of campus life-access to university facilities and a collegiate atmosphere-make it a practical choice. I found the balance of affordability and location particularly appealing for academic visits.”

convenient campus stay

single bed clean towel quiet location
The room was a good size with a single bed. the bed linen and towels were clean. i found the room itself to be clean. The bathroom seemed quite clean as well. it felt really handy for getting around campus. i loved how quiet it was.
The reception staff was uncontactable during their listed open hours, i imagine they had left early. several guests needed assistance. contacting security didn't help much. They promised to come but never arrived.
