Clearing accommodation application process

If you’ve applied to Loughborough through Clearing, here's a simple guide to the accommodation application process. 

At Loughborough we consider our halls as vibrant communities. We carefully mix students from different courses to create a balanced social experience in every hall. When choosing your preferences, stay open-minded, you’ll find your perfect fit and quickly feel at home, no matter which hall you end up in.

Register on the Accommodation Hub

From 10am (BST) on Tuesday 19 August 2025, Clearing students will be invited to register on the Accommodation Hub and select five accommodation preferences.

Choose your preferences

You’ll choose preferences based on your desired campus area, room type, and catering options. Availability may vary, so it’s helpful to research your options beforehand. Once you submit your preferences, we’ll email you summarising your choices.

Keep your options open

We recommend selecting a mix of preferences rather than focusing on a single choice. With 17 halls, there’s something for everyone. No matter where you live, you'll meet new friends and enjoy a supportive, dynamic environment.

Room allocation process

Our team will consider your preferences when allocating rooms. While we can’t guarantee your first choice, rest assured that we’ll take both your preferences and the date of your application into account.

Confirming your offer

After we allocate a room, you’ll receive an email confirming your offer along with simple instructions on how to view and accept your room online. This will be sent to the email address you provided during your application.

Accept and get ready

Once you’ve accepted your offer, we’ll send a confirmation email with all the details you need to get ready for your arrival. 

Pack your bags, we can’t wait to meet you!

Get excited, it’s almost time to make your move to Loughborough. Your new home is waiting, and we can’t wait to welcome you to campus!
