Information about applying for
on-campus accommodation
Firstly, may I congratulate you on your offer of a place at Harper Adams University.
Please read all the accommodation information carefully and if you have any queries, do not hesitate
to contact us at the Accommodation Office (01952 815176 or [email protected]).
We will contact you again around the beginning of May to remind you of the launch of the
accommodation application system and provide you with a set-by-step guide of what you will need to
do on the day.
Due to feedback from previous years, we will be launching it at 7.30am on Wednesday 27th May so that
you are able to do it before setting off for your exams, classes or work and don't have to take time off.
Best wishes

Our application process for 1st
phase applicants with firm offers
Things to think about and do
before making your application
1. look at all the different types of accommodation.
2. put them all in order of preference ready for the
online application.
3. are you sure about the order? you won't be able
to change it once you have submitted it...
4. think about your budget? can you afford it?
which is the most cost effective?
5. what can I live with / what can't I live without?
6. Is the en-suite really that important to you?
7. are you a fabulous cook and disciplined to eat
regular meals or will you be eating plain past with
cheese every day if you are left to your own
devices? Catered option could mean an easy life at
least for the ﬁrst year.
8. if you are going self-catered, have you thought of
a realistic weekly shopping budget and added it on
top of your accommodation cost?

Please note that after the online application system is
launched on 27th May, we expect a high volume of
applications – usually several hundred applications are
received in the couple of days. This means prospective
students who complete their accommodation applications at
a later date may need to be placed on a waiting list for oncampus accommodation or approached to consider offcampus accommodation. For more information on the
application and allocation process please visit our webpages.
Off campus accommodation information:
If you would like to consider off-campus alternatives, we will
be able to assist you with your enquiries as we have a
comprehensive list of properties available and are also
compiling a list of students who are looking to form a group
to share with each other. If you are planning to relocate to
the area and have specific requirements not usually met by
shared student housing, please get in touch with us as soon
as you can.
If you would like more information or would like to register
your interest, please contact the Accommodation Office
on [email protected] . We will be
able to assist with any queries regarding potential offcampus accommodation. Please do not panic! We will do
our best to assist in securing off-campus accommodation if
that is what you decide to do. There is plenty of off-campus
accommodation usually available and plenty of time to get
it sorted!
