You’ve chosen your university; you’ve selected your course, now you need to choose where to live! If you are thinking about applying for university accommodation there are twelve important things you need to know!
The Halls and Rooms:
1. Coventry University offers a wide range of accommodation types, you can find the descriptions and locations for each hall here
2. The majority of rooms will include either a washbasin or an ensuite, and each uncatered hall includes a shared kitchen.
3. It’s a good idea to hold off buying your own kitchen appliances; meet your new neighbours and go shopping together! This will save you money and creates a fab bonding session.
4. Rooms are allocated on a first come first served basis, so you may not all be on the same courses but don’t worry! That just means you’ll have more things to talk about!
5. For you lucky catered students, the meal times are…
Priory Hall: Breakfast 7.45-10.30 Evening Meal 4.30 – 8pm
Quadrant Hall: Breakfast 8- 10am Evening Meal 5 – 6pm
