Living with Student Housemates
This guide has been written by our Student Housing Office and Student Casework Team, to provide helpful information and advice for any student, who decides to live with others whilst at university. It covers matters from choosing who to live with, to what to do when things go wrong. Ideally, it should be read by anyone moving into, or planning on moving into shared accommodation.

Homeshare
Homeshare enables two people to share a home for mutual benefit. Typically, an older person living in their own home with a room to spare will be carefully matched with a younger person who will provide an agreed amount of support in exchange for good quality, affordable accommodation.
To learn about the project itself visit: Gwynedd Homeshare.
To learn about Homeshare Gwynedd contact Richard, the co-ordinator, by emailing: homeshare@gwynedd.llyw.cymru
International students should seek advice on their visa from the International Student Support Office before considering taking part.
