Applying for University accommodation

All accommodation applications and offers are made via our Accommodation Portal. You will need to have received and accepted a firm offer of study from the University to access the accommodation application. 

Find out how to register on the Accommodation Portal and how to complete and submit your application. 

Non-guaranteed applicants

If you don't meet the terms of our accommodation guarantee, you are still welcome to apply, but we cannot guarantee to offer you University accommodation.

We recommend that you also look for accommodation in the private sector alongside your application.

Private rented accommodation

Our Student Accommodation team can provide information and guidance about renting in Bristol's private sector. They can advise you where to look for vacancies and suggest letting agencies to contact.
