Accommodation

At Emmanuel College we guarantee all undergraduate students accommodation for the entirety of their degree. For undergraduate students, rent is paid in 10–week periods each term, with additional charges if students request to stay in residence outside of term. The cost of your rent includes:

• Laundry service
• Cleaning
• Heating and electricity
• Basic contents insurance
• Wi-Fi connectivity

In July offer holders and confirmed students will be sent accommodation information, where they are able to submit their choice of room via an online form. Students are able to select a preference of location or grade, and will be able to add notes relating to any adjustments they require for their room. Although we try our best, we cannot guarantee that students will be allocated their exact choice of room.
