Degree Apprenticeship - Block Release Accommodation

hey guys, i’m due to start a degree apprenticeship in september this year. I’ll be attending uni of Exeter (Streatham campus) for one week every month. i live over 3.5hr away (7hr round trip daily lol) and just wondered whether there are any other people who currently do a degree apprenticeship, or starting one this year, and how you’re managing accommodation? i presumed we would be allocated a place on halls/campus but apparently not!

Apprentices are unfortunately not able to stay in University accommodation as this is allocated to students on campus full time. Accommodation, travel and subsistence expenses associated with undertaking any training for the apprenticeship should be fully covered by your employer so they might (initially) arrange this for you or have preferred providers that you should use. This is probably something you should speak to your employer about to stablish what you need to organise yourself.

Sorry I cannot provide more information myself but hopefully this helps a bit.
