Why live in halls?
Living in halls of residence is a great way to get the most out of your university experience - a chance to make new friends, and for you to ease into living away from home.
Conveniently located
All our campus residences are within walking distance of the main University buildings, shops, cafés, bars, fitness centres, launderettes and common rooms, so you’ll never have to go far to find exactly what you need.
Modern and well-equipped
All our accommodation is self-catered, and most rooms have private bathrooms, with shared kitchen facilities. We pride ourselves on having some of the best student accommodation in the UK – in fact, we won 3rd place for accommodation from the What Uni Student Choice Awards 2019.

Gym and Campus Life membership included
Gym and Campus Life membership are included for all students living in University accommodation. You can use the main sport centre at Ffriddoedd Village, Canolfan Brailsford, or the fitness room at St Mary's Village.
Campus Life is a programme of events that run throughout the year, including film nights, quizzes, trips and outdoor activities.
We're sorry that this does not apply to students living on the Wrexham Campus, and hall fees in Wrexham are adjusted accordingly.
