Am I guaranteed University accommodation as a first year? University accommodation is guaranteed for one academic year to all new-to- Bath, full-time students in their first year, providing they:


n are studying Bachelor’s and Master’s undergraduate programmes


n have selected Bath as their firm choice


n have accepted their offer and applied online for their accommodation before the guaranteed accommodation deadline (check our web page for this date).


Where will I live? With the addition of the Woodland Court housing complex in September 2008, we now offer 3,300 bedrooms for students in Bath. Two-thirds of these are located on campus. Our city- campus accommodation complexes are located around the city centre, approximately 2km from the University campus. You can easily get to the campus using the frequent bus services from the city centre. See external web pages: www.bath.ac.uk/study/ug/ accommodation/living


What choice will I have? We offer a broad range of room types to suit all budgets, with 40% of our first year complexes now offering ensuite accommodation. All first-year complexes are similarly organised, with 5-18 single study bedrooms grouped around a communal self-catering kitchen. The majority of kitchen groups are mixed but you can choose all male or all female if you prefer.


The demand for certain residences is very high, so we cannot guarantee to fulfil all preferences, but every effort will be made to ensure that the fee level and room type are comparable to those of your preferred option. To see which rooms are right for you, browse our accommodation at: www.bath.ac.uk/study/ug/ accommodation/types


How and when do I apply? You will be eligible to apply for accommodation on-line once you have confirmed Bath as your firm choice. The exact date from which you can apply for accommodation will be advertised on our web pages in your year of entry.


We allocate rooms according to your application status (so if you already have an unconditional offer, we can allocate you a room before students with a conditional offer). Later entrants may be housed in our city-campus complexes or in shared or initially temporary rooms.


If you have an insurance offer for Bath, accommodation cannot be guaranteed but


you will be able to apply for the waiting list once your offer has been confirmed. Students who apply after the guaranteed accommodation deadline may be required to find private sector accommodation.


When will I receive my accommodation contract? Students with an unconditional offer will receive details of their room allocation with a contract by the end of August; those with a conditional offer will be allocated their room and sent a contract by email during September.


What can I expect in my room? Full information on what we provide and what you need to bring is available in our annually updated Campus Life booklet: www.bath.ac.uk/accommodation/ pdf/campus-life-10-11.pdf


Freewire Telephone The Freewire Telephone service lets you make free calls to any of your fellow residents within our halls of residence or to anyone on the Freewire Network.

Freewire TV Using your computer and Freewire’s latest TV software, you can enjoy over 30 TV and radio channels free on your computer in your room. For further information, please visit www.freewiretv.com

Core possessions insurance We have arranged a core possessions insurance policy to cover your possessions whilst you are living in University-managed accommodation on a full-time contract. www.endsleigh.co.uk


Can I bring my car? It is a condition of residence that students do not have the use of, or keep a motor vehicle, in connection with their use of the accommodation. Permits will only be granted in exceptional circumstances, such as on medical grounds.


What about welfare and security? Resident Tutors live alongside students in the halls of residence. They ensure the provision and maintenance of a high standard of welfare, health and safety, social activities and good order for students living in University residential accommodation, both on and off campus.


The on-campus Security Office is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is also an off-campus Security service operating during the evenings and at weekends.


Can you offer me family accommodation? We have a limited range of family accommodation available for couples without children. Please contact the Student Accommodation team for further details. We strongly advise you not to bring your family to Bath until you have secured suitable accommodation for the duration of your stay.


How do I seek private sector accommodation? The Student Accommodation Office provides an information and advice service for students seeking private sector accommodation. An up-to-date listing of properties available can be accessed through our database: www.bathstudentpad.co.uk


You can expect to pay approximately £70 - £80 per week for a room in a shared flat or house; utility bills will be in addition to this. Bath has a good supply of private sector accommodation; over 1,700 properties are accredited by the local Council, and numbers keep growing!
