Rent and Contracts

Rents

All rents are given per week and include water, heating, lighting, and electricity. In addition, a kitchen fixed charge applies to all students, but varies according to the location.

Contracts

Undergraduates sign a contract for their College room for a minimum of 29 weeks. This is made up of three Residence periods each academic year. Rent is invoiced once per term, in advance.

Rooms for the following year are allocated by a ballot, which takes place in the Lent Term. Students usually get their first or second choice of room in the ballot

An example of a typical room contract can be found in the Student Accommodation Handbook.
