Living in halls is a great way to meet other students and make new friends. If you accept a place through Clearing, you can apply for halls online once your offer is confirmed.

If you accept a place through Clearing, you just need to follow these simple steps to secure your room in halls. Please be aware that some rooms will no longer be available at this late stage.
