Accommodation for prospective students

We guarantee accommodation for all UK, EU and international undergraduate first year students, as long as you meet our application deadlines.

How to apply Information for current students

Two students chat in the kitchen at The Grange accommodation site.

Our accommodation sites are all in the centre of York, 1 mile or less from campus. Our range of rooms offers different facilities and prices to suit all.

When you apply for accommodation, you can choose between York St John sites, which are managed by our own teams, or partner provider sites, which are managed by third party accommodation providers.

Due to national increases in rent charges, the demand for more affordable University-owned rooms is very high. We guarantee accommodation for all first year students who meet our deadlines, but we can't guarantee that everyone will be allocated a room from their top 3 choices. Please note that the accommodation prices below are for the 2024 to 2025 academic year.

Many of our students commute to York St John or stay at home for their first year. Find out about the support that we give to our commuting students.
