Hi - not exactly sure how the process works ? Maybe interested in Beton House. If I go directly onto the Homes For Students web site I can just book a room and its guaranteed. But if I book through the Uni they can't guarantee my room in Beton - is this correct ? Also - the uni web site says they are 8 bed roomed town houses but Homes for Students only seems to have 4 rooms sharing a kitchen (not 8) ??

Any help with how to apply for accommodation? I’m coming to SHU through my insurance option, so need to find accommodation ideally near Collegiate Campus.

Hi @Anonymous #2,

Firstly, congratulations on securing your place and welcome to #TeamHallam! We can't wait to welcome you next month.

Choices of accommodation may be limited, but we still guarantee to find you a university approved place to live. You can apply online for accommodation using the student ID in your offer email. You may need to wait up to 48 hours after getting your offer of a place on a course before you can apply for accommodation. Once you have applied, you will be able to track the progress of your accommodation application on your online account.

Our three closest halls to Collegiate Campus can be found below - you can also view our full portfolio here and our private accommodation listings site here.
