Living on campus
Living on Edge Hill’s stunning campus, you’ll find your home from home. You’ll be right in the heart of our community in a safe environment where you can live, study and socialise.
What is living on campus like?
We have seen generations of students succeed through hard work, dedication, and the community and support available when living in our accommodation. Fully immerse yourself in university life. And choose to live in one of six areas across the beautiful Edge Hill campus.
To make your decision even easier, we’re guaranteeing you a place in our halls for Year 1 of your course. All new first year undergraduate students, from the UK and EU, starting full-time in September 2022 are eligible.
Living on campus is the best option for many students as it can open the door to amazing experiences that will shape who you are. From making forever friendships to gaining independence and confidence.
