Welcome to Accommodation at Newcastle University
Whether you’re a new student, member of staff, or visitor, we have accommodation options for you. Our residences all have unique characters, and we take pride in our safe, vibrant, and diverse communities across our three villages. You’ll find a place to call home within a supportive community, with everything you need to study, socialise, and relax.
Our campus is in the heart of the city, and all our residences are either on campus or on the city’s doorstep, only a short walk away or easily accessible by public transport. This means that when living with us, you're never too far from lectures, or the many things Newcastle has to offer, from history and heritage, to shops, bars, and restaurants.
And if you’re currently living with us, or getting ready to move in, our Accommodation team are here to support you.

How much does University accommodation cost?
Cost is an important consideration when choosing your accommodation. How much your accommodation will cost at Newcastle University depends on several things, such as the type of room you choose and whether you want to be catered or self-catered. You can find information regarding the different prices of our accommodation on the Our Accommodation page.
We review our accommodation rental costs annually. We adjust them taking into account trends in students’ preferences and financial circumstances. A ladder of rents ensures we have a greater level of choice available at a range of price points, improving affordability for our students.

When can I move into the accommodation?
You'll move into your new home at Newcastle University in September. To ensure a quick and easy arrival process, we ask that you book an arrival slot. This will be a set day and time to arrive at your residence and move all your belongings in. You'll be invited to sign up for an arrival slot via email in August. Please note that slots are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, and we can only accommodate a certain number of arrivals during each time period. Find out more on our Moving In page.
