It’s always important to read the small print. Find out what we expect from you, what you can expect from us as well as contracts, insurance and how to pay – our essential information page covers all this and more. 

We understand that this is all new to most of you, so we also have a really useful FAQs page.

We have something for everyone.

If you have any disability related accommodation needs or require adaptations, please get in touch with our Disability Services. It’s best to discuss your needs before you apply for your room in Halls as this might affect the type of room you need.  You are welcome to contact us with any general questions. 

And remember, the Disability Services team is here to help disabled applicants and students with all aspects of student life, not just accommodation.

You do not need to pay when you book your room. Remember to apply early so that you have a better chance of securing your perfect room.

We guarantee accommodation in Halls to all our first year students but you must apply before the 31st of July. If you are an international applicant, the guarantee will be dependent on you holding a Firm offer to study at Bangor University.
