student loan applications

Hi,

I have question on the student loan applications.

I have conditional offers from reading and royal Holloway for oct 2026, when do i start applying for student loan, when is the deadline.

Also what about accommodation on campus and the costing for that.

Just need clarity when i need to apply.

Student finance opens on the 23rd of March. No word on the deadline yet but it tends to be around May or June, if memory serves me right. In any case, the sooner you do it, the better. Even if you haven't gotten all your offers in, it's very straightforward to change the uni once you've submitted your application.

This is the link for all the relevant accommodation stuff for Reading (the how to apply section might be the most informative): https://www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/accommodation
