Do I pay to live in my college?

Students pay for accommodation and food, although this is often heavily subsidised. Colleges provide a wide variety of accommodation and meal options. Costs vary across colleges and are likely to increase annually.

It is important you understand how much your degree is going to cost and what financial support you might be eligible for.

Visit our page on living costs for more information.
