University houses (more informally known as “student houses”) provide housing to mainly final year or post-graduate students who wish to be more independent, but still want to stay within the campus grounds. University flats provide mixed-gender accommodation for mostly post-graduate and/or international students.

Private Accommodation:

Students who are not accepted in university housing have the option to board either in a private house or flat. Every student in private lodgings is required to become a member of the Private Students’ Organization (PSO) and pay a membership fee. The PSO serves students, who do not live in University housing, to allow them a similar social structure to that enjoyed by “res” students.
