Registering for accommodation

You will be able to register for accommodation online from late May – the Student Accommodation Centre will email you then with instructions on how to do this. Other than researching your options, you do not need to do anything before then. 

If your offer has conditions attached, such as achieving specific qualifications, your accommodation can not be confirmed until these conditions have been met which is usually after the A Level results are released in August. We will contact you with more information in July about the process that you will need to follow to secure University accommodation if your application to Loughborough is successful. Once your accommodation has been confirmed, you will be invited to complete our hall induction process online where you can book an arrival slot for your allocated move-in date. 

You do not need to take any action regarding your accommodation until August, when you have received your results and your place is confirmed. It is at this point you will be able to apply for accommodation. 

You will then be able to select three preferences based on an area of campus, room type and catering option. Please note that accommodation is not guaranteed for insurance choice students, but we do promise to help you secure University allocated accommodation either on campus or by referral to an approved off-campus provider.

If you intend to defer your start date to September 2025, you will be able to register for accommodation from early May 2025. You will receive an email from the Student Accommodation Centre with instructions on how and when to do so closer to the time.

Our Student Accommodation Centre post regular updates and important announcements on their website, so be sure to check this out for more information. 

We have 16 undergraduate Halls of Residence here at Loughborough, including a mix of catering and sharing options – whichever one becomes your home, you’ll make friends and memories for life.

There are seven catered halls and each one is committed to offering a varied and healthy home-cooked menu to suit all tastes. If you have a dietary requirement, just let us know and we will make sure you are catered for. Those who opt for self-catered accommodation will find a wide selection of large supermarkets and international food stores in the town centre. 

Every hall offers a hall warden support system and has its own student committee, who ensure that hall life remains exciting, fun and safe for everybody. From the very moment you set foot on campus, you’ll feel part of the family.

Did you know that a standard catered room in the village (39 week let) is approximately the same price as a self-catered en-suite room (41 week let)? That's a years worth of meals for the substitute of an en-suite! Take a look at our catered accommodation video below to see what's available at Loughborough.

Convenience is part of the beauty of campus living – whichever hall you live in is easily accessible on foot to anywhere else on campus, with academic buildings, shops, Loughborough Students’ Union and more right on your doorstep. As a standard, rooms contain a bed, storage, desk, chair, shelves and a noticeboard – you will also have access to laundry facilities, bike storage, a common room and internet access.
