Information for LGBTQIA+ students
LGBTQIA+ accommodation
Our accommodation provides a welcoming environment for everyone. We value respect and tolerance for all.
We recognise that some students who identify as LGBTQIA+ would prefer to live with other LGBTQIA+ students.
We can offer the choice of a limited number of en-suite flats with this preference should you wish to select it.
If you are interested in this choice, please email the Accommodation team for more information.
