Bath uni 2025

Which accommodation you choose is down to personal preferences (all options and pricings here!) - I would personally recommend Norwood House for a variety of reasons. Firstly, its the most budget-friendly option where you get your own room rather than sharing. Secondly, its in the centre of campus next to the SU; and thirdly people on certain floors get free/discounted SU night tickets to compensate them for the potential noise they may get from being so close. I lived in Westwood Derhill which was also a budget-friendly option and because of its size of 18 to a flat, it was very lively, sociable, and in quite a quiet part of campus. If you wanted eat and drink credit included then Brendon Court is in a beautiful location and is by far the best value of the eat and drink credit ones. I would personally avoid Polden (not Polden Court), and the Quads. Polden is very posh but also very expensive and in an inconvenient location, and the Quads rooms are very small which I found claustrophobic and distracting.

Costs vary a lot depending on if you share/have your own room, where you are and if your place comes with eat and drink credit (where a set amount gets added to your library card for you to spend in the cafes and eateries). The cheapest are Woodland Court shared at around £4,500 for 38 weeks, and the most expensive are Green Park House studios at around £11,300 for the 38 weeks (at the time of writing!). The average is around £7,000 - £8,000 depending on your preferences. Ensuites tend to obviously be more expensive but I personally had no problem sharing a shower and loo - its closer to real life!

The best thing about studying at Bath for me was the chance to do a placement. Bath has one of the best-supported placement schemes in the country and not only was it a fun thing to do which gave me a break from studying for a year, it added its weight in gold to my graduate CV and helped me build up more experience for employment later.
