Having your loved one go off to university is not only a big event in their life, but it can be for you too, especially if they are the first to ‘fly the nest'. One of the key decisions to make, when choosing a university, is where your loved one should live while they study.
Many Kingston University students choose accommodation in our halls of residence but we also have a large community of students who live at home, or rent privately, and commute to university. On this page you will find key information about accommodation options for Kingston University students.
The University experience is about much more than getting a degree! It's the perfect time for your child to meet new people from all parts of the globe, take up new interests and opportunities, and enjoy learning about themselves as a person.
Halls is a great place to settle into university life quickly and make lifelong friends. With over 2,000 rooms in our halls of residence, we're certain we've got the perfect room for any student!
A large number of students choose to live at home while they study at university.
When considering if living at home is the best option for your loved one, remember to take travel costs and commuting time into account. Some students with long commutes find it more difficult to get fully immersed in student life as they have less social and study time on campus.
At Kingston University, we provide a range of support for our commuting students – such as a free intersite bus service, flexi-stay room hire, laptop loans and microwave facilities.
There are plenty of private accommodation options in and around Kingston. From shared student houses through local estate agents, to private halls of residence companies.
There is a strong private rented sector in Kingston and the surrounding areas, with a good range of properties available.
