We are here to help all our students and provide advice and guidance throughout your time studying here. Although we cannot offer you the option of a place in halls of residence, as a returning student there are a number of other affordable options when you share accommodation with other students.
Your options

Unihomes (university-managed houses or flats)
We manage more than 300 rooms in shared houses and flats in Brighton & Hove, Eastbourne and Hastings. These properties – known as unihomes – are privately owned but managed by the university.
Renting private accommodation
Renting private accommodation lets you choose your location and the people you live with. You might prefer the independence and flexibility this offers. If you do choose this option, we can support and advise you, and will give you access to Studentpad, our online house-hunting system.

Information and support
As well as contacting us for help, we encourage you to take advantage of all the support and services from the accommodation office, including:
- Studentpad– our online house-hunting system to help students find good quality accommodation, includes housing advice and message boards
- Facebook accommodation group – a closed group on Facebook for university students wanting to find other students to share with.
To find other students looking to share accommodation or find new housemates you can also use the community boards on studentcentral.
If you have any queries contact the accommodation team.
