What are halls of residence?
Halls of residence are a type of accommodation that’s available to all students – new, returning, postgraduate and international.
There are currently around 1,900 self-catered rooms available in halls on or near our campuses – each are close to the centre of Cheltenham or Gloucester and served by the university bus service.
Halls of residence may be university-managed or managed by a partner.
Partner halls of residence are privately run and have reserved rooms for University of Gloucestershire students. They are not managed by the university. Contracts will be direct with the third-party providers and different to those for university-managed halls.
Our halls of residence are ranked in the top 20 in the UK according to the Whatuni student Choice Awards 2023.
