We can help you think through your accommodation options whether you want to stay on or off campus. There are around 1,600 rooms on the Edinburgh Campus and 200 on the Borders Campus.
Priority is usually given to students arriving for the first time in first year or as a postgraduate. We operate a leased flat scheme on both campuses which can give you access to flats in the private rented sector. We can also provide advice about how to access lodgings with families or private accommodation.
The University welcomes applications from students with disabilities and special needs. A number of rooms on the Edinburgh Campus have been purpose built and are fully accessible. A number of bedrooms at the Borders Campus have been adapted for wheelchair users. If you have a special need in respect of accommodation, please contact the Disability Adviser (Edinburgh Campus) or the Student Welfare Officer (Scottish Borders Campus).
Before you leave your room at the end of your contract the room will be checked for damages. Once it is checked you will be entitled to receive a refund of your deposit, less any damages or additional cleaning charges.
To make sure that you receive your refund as quickly as possible, please complete a form with your bank details. The University aims to return any deposit due within 30 days of the end date of your contract. One form is for UK bank account holders and there is a different form for students with an account held overseas (below). If you are unsure which form to use please contact kelly.reid@hw.ac.uk
Online accommodation booking for student accommodation at our Edinburgh campus is now available.
Our Catering and Residences Service offer all sorts of nourishing dishes and snacks to sustain your busy life on-campus.
