Accommodation
Whether you are looking for University hall accommodation or the opportunity to share a house with other students in the town, the Student Accommodation Centre will advise you in securing suitable accommodation during your studies at Loughborough.
University self-catering halls of residence
The University is investing in a refurbishment programme for campus-based residences. At John Phillips Hall built in 2008, there are 298 en-suite rooms dedicated to postgraduate students.
All our postgraduate hall accommodation is self-catered on a 50-week let, and is within walking distance of the campus and close to local amenities such as shops and banks.
We have five self-catering halls available to postgraduates – students can choose to cook for themselves or to eat at one of the many venues on campus. We are sure you will want to take advantage of our diners+ option giving you flexible access to superb value, great choice and healthy option meals in our various outlets.
You will find the rents competitive and affordable, and the atmosphere friendly and supportive. You will be invoiced over three terms and all prices include utilities, internet access and insurance.

Off-campus accommodation
If you prefer to live off-campus in the private sector, the Student Accommodation Centre can help you find suitable accommodation.
All accommodation is privately owned and is inspected by the University to ensure they meet the standards set down in an independent Accreditation Scheme which is run in partnership with Charnwood Borough Council.
Most private sector accommodation in Loughborough is within a two mile radius of the campus – well within walking distance. There is also a local bus service, which runs frequently between the campus and the train station via the town centre.
You may want to come to Loughborough a couple of weeks before your course begins so you can look for accommodation. Most landlords prefer the accommodation to be viewed prior to offering a tenancy.
We have overnight and short term accommodation available on campus in the University Lodge – contact unilodge@lboro.ac.uk for further information and bookings or visit our accommodation website for more information.
Our Student Accommodation Centre offers:
- a friendly, free and efficient service
- a good choice of university approved private accommodation
There is a large variation of rents in the private sector reflecting location, size, condition and style of fixtures and fittings. The following is a guideline to assist you when choosing your accommodation.
| Accommodation Type | Approximate Cost |
|---|---|
| Single room in shared student house: | £2,340 – £4,680 per year |
| Houses and flats: | £5,700 – £8,400 per year |
Assured Shorthold Tenancies for private sector accommodation for postgraduate students are usually for 52 weeks. To view our available accommodation please visit our website.
