Worcester is a great place to study and live. There are many private options available if you are not living in University Managed Accommodation.
Private Accommodation
The University works closely with private landlords and Worcester City Council to ensure all student shared private residences are accredited and meet with current legislation.
Sometimes you may have issues with your landlord or might have concerns about your accommodation. The Academic and Welfare Adviser at the Students’ Union can offer you help and advice on private contracts, landlord/tenant grievances and general information.
Finding Accommodation
You can find out more information on finding private accommodation on the SU’s housing webpage.
You can also use The StudentPad website to search for properties online, post and send messages to other students also looking for housing. Studentpad goes live late January; it’s the University and SU official property search website. Sign up for an account using the password that you can collect via The Accommodation Team.
If you are a full time student, the University has prepared a document that confirms you are exempt from Council Tax payments for the duration of your studies.
Help & Support
You can access The Student’s Union helpful Student’s Housing Guide for more information on private accommodation and advice.
