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 Apply now

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.

We have a great range of rooms, with different facilities and prices to suit all. You can use the links below to explore our options, and find the perfect place to become your new home. Please note that the accommodation prices below are for the 2023 to 2024 academic year.

Due to a national increase in rent charges, the demand for more affordable University-owned accommodation is much higher than usual. We guarantee accommodation for all first year students who applied before the 30 June deadline, but we cannot guarantee that everyone will be allocated a room from one of their 3 choices.

Living in the centre of York means large supermarkets, shops and green spaces are all close to your home. Read more on our Life in York page.

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.

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. Applying to a partner site is a different process, and you can see more on our Applying to a partner provider page.
