Self-catered accommodation and cooking facilities
Self-catered accommodation
Accommodation where residents have access to full cooking facilities, usually shared with a number of fellow residents.
Although students have the opportunity to prepare their own meals, self-catered is a very flexible option; they can also choose to eat elsewhere if they wish, both on and off campus.
Cooking facilities in students’ bedrooms
Cooking facilities in bedrooms are generally not permitted in University flats and residences for reasons of safety.
Occasionally, private lodgings may be found which have cooking facilities in the student’s room, but this is now very unusual.
Special diets
Those with a need for a special diet are recommended to apply for self-catered accommodation.
