University managed houses and living with a family
If Halls aren't for you there's a wide range of private accommodation just a short walk from the main campus. The good news is we work closely with landlords and the city council to make sure all housing is accredited and of a good standard.
Talk to our Accommodation Team and they'll be happy to give you advice on areas like tenancy agreements, questions to ask your landlord and fire and safety precautions. Other things to be aware of include your deposit and bills.
All accredited properties can be found at www.worcesterstudentpad.co.uk but you'll need a password. Call the Accommodation Team on +44 (0)1905 855300 or email accommodation@worc.ac.uk.
For more information see our Private Accomodation pages.
Living with a family
If you're looking for accommodation with a bit more of a family feel, we have a small number of Worcester families who let rooms. Give us a call for more details.
