Currently the University has about 2,300 places in Bangor.

Please download our PDF University map to see where the halls are located around Bangor.

  • We are able to guarantee a place in a hall of residence to all new first year undergraduates who make an application within the given timeframe.
  • We will ask all applicants to make choices regarding the halls in which they would like to live and we will do our best to allocate our rooms according to these preferences. However this is not always possible. Inevitably some residences will be oversubscribed and will fill up very quickly.
  • To help you make a choice regarding the hall in which you would like to live, please choose a hall of residence from the 'Choose a Hall' menu' for detailed information. 
  • Basic contents insurance will be included in the price you pay for Residence. For further information, please click here.
  • Under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, students who have not had face to face contact with the University before entering into the Residence Agreement have the right to cancel the Residence Agreement and have their deposit refunded. This is provided they notify the Halls Office in writing (this includes fax or email) of the cancellation within 7 working days, starting on the day after the date the Residence Agreement was accepted. Your right to cancel does not apply once you have started to use the accommodation – after you move in it will be too late to cancel, even if you have not formally accepted your contract online.
  • Each year we try to designate some rooms for students for whom peace and quiet is important. These may be suitable, though not exclusively, for mature students who often prefer a quieter environment. Please note however that communal living will also be noisier than living in your own home and that we can not control noise coming from outside the building. Please note there is very limited availability for these rooms and we can not guarantee that all applicants will be successful.

Please click on each hall to find out more details and prices.

All the sites are managed directly from the Halls Office.  Support is available during the daytime from the Halls Office, University Security Staff and Student Services and out of hours and at weekend from the resident Senior Wardens and Student Wardens. The University also employs a team of Student Wardens to live in every hall of residence and do everything possible to foster and maintain a safe residential environment. Students from diverse backgrounds can live, study and socialise in a peaceful and secure environment. More information on Wardens...

Please note:

At the end of each academic year it is necessary to clear away bicycles that have been left by students who no longer live in the Halls of Residence.

In order for this exercise to take place please remove any bicycle that you own to the bicycle racks outside Tegfan hall of residence. Please ask at Security if you do not know where to find the Tegfan bicycle rack.

All bicycles remaining in any other bicycle rack will be removed by the Halls Office on or after 1 September each year.
