Student Life

When you choose Arts University Plymouth you also get the opportunity to choose from a variety of dedicated Halls and Houses from some of the city's top accommodation providers. Rooms are designed to suit a range of tastes and budget with no deposit, no additional fees and bills included.

At Arts University Plymouth, Host are our recommended accommodation partners. They provide a variety of housing options for our students, with properties ideally located around the campus and surrounding area, so you’ll only ever have a short walk to get to university – great if you have an early start. Whilst Host are our recommended accommodation partner, we are also happy to recommend Cross House as an alternative, approved provider.

Cross House is owned by Homes for Students and has plenty of different options to suit all budgets, from Classic Ensuites to Studios of varying prices and with wifi, a games room, laundry room, an outdoor area and bicycle storage all included. Cross House is located a short 10 minute walk from campus, conveniently situated in the middle of the city centre.

We’ll do everything we can to help you find your perfect student accommodation - just get in touch with us on hello@aup.ac.uk to discuss your options.

Most students in their first year choose to live in a Student Hall of Residence. These provide a fun and safe introduction to independent living: all halls rooms offer ensuite bathrooms, and have bright and airy communal areas, with cooking, dining and social facilities.

Rooms are fully furnished to a modern standard, and you can usually stay for up to 43 weeks of the year. You will share your flat with other Arts University Plymouth students, and to top it off you also have a 24/7 concierge at some properties, along with flat-screen televisions in the lounge and even a free play pool table.

From £116 p/w*.

Student houses are a great way to jump straight into the student lifestyle. Often a mix of first, second and third-year students, they offer a great place to call home while you study.

As an extra plus, these rooms are often bigger than in halls, but also cheaper. If you’re keen on making your student loan go further, there’s a wide range of shared houses of different styles and sizes on offer. Student Accommodation UK Search is a great place to start looking.

When you arrive to move into your HOST accommodation, we'll have our AUP Student Ambassadors on hand to help you take your belongings to your room (one less thing to stress about!).

Before moving in, HOST will send emails to all residents with information about their new flat and room number. In addition, there will also be a link to join HOST's closed Facebook group so that you have the opportunity to meet your flatmates before arriving.

HOST staff are onsite 24/7, 365 days a year, which means they can help with any issues at any time. All HOST staff are also mental health first aid trained and have received LGBTQ+ awareness training.

Host also have a range of reassuring offers and guarantees in place, which include No Place No Pay - so if you don’t get your place and you no longer require your accommodation, you don’t pay a penny.
