Universities with second- and third-year accommodation?

York uni, also lets you apply in friendship groups for second/third year.

Southampton does, similar to the post above about York.

Really? I never knew that. Is it guaranteed or is it limited?

Not guaranteed but everyone I know (including myself) who applied for halls for second year got their first choice offer. There are also loads of private halls across the city which is good if you want to avoid living in a house. But it's costly

That's a big reason why I want to live in university accommodation; it's cheaper and high-quality. Also, the university is directly responsible, meaning problems can be fixed faster than if I went private. My parents have had problems with private landlords, and I don't want the same things happening to me.

Next best thing is to find a uni where they vet the landlords and individually approve them (also at york and loads of other places).

It's definitely not cheaper to live in halls, at least it isn't here, and I imagine is similar for most other cities. For the best quality rooms/ensuites you'll be paying up to ~6.3k a year whereas in a house you'll spend maybe 5k at worst. It depends on what kind of room you want in halls tbh.

I know that Oxford University and Cambridge University's colleges can provide an almost-guarantee that a student can receive university accommodation for their entire course. I also know that Durham's colleges can provide accommodation for first- and third-year students and some second-year students.

Does anyone else know any other universities that are likely to provide university accommodation for a student's entire course?

Lancaster offer some for second and third years like a previous poster said. They offer on campus halls and some off campus halls in town. There is priority given to first and third years. My friend had to go on a waiting list for second year, she did eventually get a place. We've both applied for third year with no waiting list for either of us. The halls on campus can be quite expensive, its costing me about £130 per week in rent next year, having gone up slightly each year since I started. The halls in town were roughly about £99 per week last time I looked. It is often cheaper to live in non-uni accommodation, I've only chosen to go back due to being lazy/needing the library for essays/dissertation next year/ I know what I'm getting with campus accommodation.
