Live With Us Love Life!

At Aberystwyth, we're proud of the vibrant community that our students experience within our residences. We offer a variety of styles, budgets and locations to find the space that works for you, with the majority of our residences being only a short walk away from campus plus FREE Sports Centre Platinum Membership for your health and wellbeing.

To qualify for a guaranteed place in your first year of study at Aberystwyth University, applicants must ensure that their accommodation application is received by the published deadline dates in the year of entry and that they respond to the offer of accommodation by the deadline date detailed in the Accommodation Offer. Please note that a place in University owned or managed accommodation is guaranteed, but not a specific type of room or location.

Accommodation choices

Whether you desire an en-suite room, a standard room with shared bathroom facilities or a self-contained studio, with catered or self-catered facilities, we have a variety of options to suit your budget and preferences - see our accommodation fees. We also have dedicated accommodation available for students who are Welsh speakers or learners and would like to live in a Welsh speaking environment.  Whatever your requirements, we aim to provide you with an option that will suit you best.
