Applying for accommodation
We have 16 undergraduate halls of residence situated on or very close to campus. Each hall has its own unique identity and there are a variety of catering and self-catering options available to suit different budgets.
The community spirit in our halls of residence is unrivalled by any UK university. Where you live and who you live with will create some of the best memories of your time at Loughborough.
Firm choice applicants
If you've made Loughborough your firm choice, you will be able to register your account on the Accommodation Hub online from early June – the Student Accommodation Centre will email you with instructions on how to do this.
Students with an unconditional offer can register and reserve their accommodation between 5 June and 15 July. Students with a conditional offer will reserve their accommodation in a dedicated time slot on Thursday 15 or Friday 16 August when the conditions of the academic offer have been met (when you receive your grades).
When choosing your accommodation, try and keep an open mind. We've got a whole range of rooms with buzzing personalities and opportunities to make new friends, so you're bound to have an amazing time whichever hall you're in.
We do recommend that you research the accommodation room options in advance and have a list of your preferred room choices ready before you go online to reserve your room.
If you make Loughborough your firm choice and register for accommodation before 24 July, we will guarantee you a room in University accommodation for your first year of study. If you miss this deadline, you will only be able to access the room preference system.
If you identify as non-binary or transgender and require further advice or support relating to your accommodation application, please contact our accommodation team and they will be happy to help.
Art and Design Foundation, Insurance and Clearing applicants
You will be able to access the room preference system from Monday 19 August 2024 once your place has been confirmed.
You can select five accommodation preferences based on an area of the campus, room type and catering option. We will then send you an email summarising your request.
Our team will use your preferences as a guide when allocating accommodation. Please note that depending on availability, we are not able to guarantee that you will be offered your preferred room type. The system will take into account both your preference options and the date of your application.
Once the accommodation team have allocated you a room, you will be sent an email confirming your accommodation offer and how to view and accept this online. You will receive your offer via the email address you have provided on your University application.
