Our Accommodation

At Northampton we have excellent student accommodation to suit all needs and price requirements, including at our Waterside campus or 5 mins walk away in Northampton Town Centre at St Johns Halls of Residence. We also have excellent value ensuite rooms at our Scholars Green Student Village. Scholars Green has a free shuttle bus service and car parking permits available.

No accommodation deposit required

We recognise the significant challenges families are facing due to the rising cost of living, and we won’t be asking students joining us in September 2025* to pay an upfront accommodation deposit when reserving a place in our Halls of Residence.

Please note: Applicants are not guaranteed their first-choice room, room type or specific location. Room types are allocated as applications are received – so we recommend to apply as soon as you are ready to make your Firm choice decision and then receive your invitation from University of Northampton (UON) to apply for Halls/Accommodation

Please be aware that to ensure the guarantee, you will need to confirm that you accept the room offer from UON by the stated deadline.
