Halls of residence

You're guaranteed an offer of accommodation if you join us through Clearing. Here's how it works: 

  • Once you've received an offer of a university place through Clearing, you'll need to add us as a firm choice on the UCAS Hub by 7am (UK time) on Friday 16 August.
  • Apply for accommodation using our Online Accommodation System by 11.59pm (UK time) on Tuesday 20 August and we'll guarantee you a room. (Note: It can take up to 24 hours after your university place has been confirmed before your accommodation profile becomes active and you're able to apply for halls).

We have a fantastic range of accommodation on our campus. Find out where you could be living and further details on applying for halls.

Commuting

Many of our students choose to commute to Royal Holloway and we're ideally placed if you live in the London or south east of England area. Find out more

Private accommodation

You can also live in private rented accommodation in the local area, where houses are of a high standard and living costs compare favourably with other parts of the south east.

The Students’ Union runs HouseSearch, an online service where you can search properties in the local area. If you sign a contract for private accommodation, you won't be able to take a room in Halls.
