**Please note that the iQ Wave halls of residence is a privately-owned hall managed by iQ Wave and leased to Kingston University. Your hall licence will be with the University and you will pay rent to the University. However, your day-to-day relationship whilst living in this hall will be with iQ Wave directly.
Because of this unique structure, your hall licence is slightly different from our standard licence (especially if you are taking a double or twin room). It will commit you to rent your room for the entire 50-week contract until August 2012. To be released from this contract, a suitable replacement would need to be found to take over your room.
†If you wish to apply for a double or same sex twin room, please contact accommodation@kingston.ac.uk stating this preference.
