Accommodation is guaranteed for all first-year students. There are seven halls of residence, and the accommodation team aim to place students in halls depending on questionnaires they complete on application, ensuring they are with like-minded students. These include single-sex flats. There are also two purpose built en-suite wet rooms for disabled students.
Standard rooms cost £100 a week and en-suites cost £116 a week. Internet access, content insurance and 24-hour on-site security are included in the price. All halls have a Senior Resident Student who is there to help students settle in and get to know people, to generate social activities, and to support any welfare or practical issues.
Students who prefer to find their own accommodation, or second- and third-year students, can get advice on private halls and other housing options from the university to help them find suitable landlords. Advice is also offered on various issues with tenancies and bills.
The university has invested more than £20m in facilities over recent years, with new equipment including a journalism and media centre, the only BASES accredited sports science lab in the South West and a live music lab. At the library, students will find over 150,000 books over three floors, along with IT facilities to use.
On campus, there is a Dining Hall, Grandstand Café and a Starbucks as part of the new Student Union Bar (Barjon), where students will be able to grab a bite to eat and relax during study breaks. A campus shop is at hand, to pick up essential food items, magazines and newspapers. There is also a nap room with hammocks in the chaplaincy, and a games room to chill out between lectures with friends.
For students that like sport, there are impressive sports facilities right on campus, including a 25m swimming pool, fitness suite, 3G pitch, two hockey pitches, tennis courts, climbing wall and sports hall, with court lines for badminton, netball, basketball, volleyball and futsal.
