Frequently asked questions regarding Student Accommodation...

Hey everyone,

Following on from our final in person Applicant Day on Saturday, we have put together a number of questions and answers which you may find helpful.

1. Am I guaranteed en-suite accommodation in first year?

Although accommodation is guaranteed for all first year students, the number of ensuite rooms is limited - there is a chance you might be allocated shared halls of residence. I’d recommend reserving your accommodation as early as possible, you can add your preference on the reservation form. For anyone who hasn’t already, you can do this here:
https://www.hope.ac.uk/halls/

2. How safe is campus accommodation?

All of our halls of residence are secure. You’ll need a student ID card to get into each building, and each flat and bedroom have individual locks. We also have CCTV and 24-hour security on all of our campuses.

3. When do I pay rent?

Rent is typically paid in three instalments throughout the academic year coinciding with the payment schedule of student loans, which is usually October, January and April

4. Do you offer accommodation for postgraduate students?

Postgraduate accommodation is available, typically post graduate students stay at our Aigburth Park campus located near Sefton Park.

5. How much does it cost to reserve accommodation early?

You can reserve your accommodation free of charge.

6. Do I need to pay a deposit to secure my accommodation?

We require a £200 refundable accommodation deposit to secure your accommodation. This will be refunded after a room inspection when you vacate halls.

7. When will I receive my offer of accommodation?

We make room offers, in late May/ early June 2025, once we have confirmation of your firm acceptance of a course offer at Liverpool Hope University.

8. How long do I have to accept my room offer?

Please check your offer expiry date. Please respond to your room offer by either accepting or rejecting the offer via the online portal. After the expiry date your room offer will expire and the room offered to another student. A short extension can be requested by emailing [email protected]

9. Can I bring my car when I move into accommodation?

The University does not encourage students to bring cars, as Liverpool has good transport links. However, if you have a specific and genuine need for a parking space, please visit our car parking webpages for further information.

10. I've selected that I want to stay at home on my UCAS and Student Finance application, can I apply for accommodation?

Yes, you can still apply accommodation online via our website once a course offer has been received from Liverpool Hope University. This is a separate process to UCAS, therefore it doesn’t matter if you have stated that you will be living at home on your UCAS application.
If you have stated on your student finance application that you will be staying at home, we advise that you contact student finance directly to update this as this may affect your maintenance loan entitlement.

11. I have submitted my application is it possible to make changes?

Once your application has been submitted, you will be unable to make changes yourself. Please email [email protected] Accommodation Services who can make the changes on your behalf.
