Accommodation that feels like home

How to book your accommodation

Once you have confirmed your place on your course, the Central Student Support team will be in touch with details on the available accommodation and how to apply.

Students under the age of 18 must arrange their accommodation through the Centre. You will receive an invitation to apply for our accommodation when you confirm your place.

Arranging your own accommodation privately

If you are booking your own accommodation privately it is important that you let us know where you are staying and that you are staying less than 60 minutes away from the University of Sussex International Study Centre. 

Look out for fraud

Scammers may specifically target international students so it is important to be able to recognise common signs of fraudulent activity and know what to do if you come across it. Let us know at fraudreporting@studygroup.com if you have any concerns about fraudulent activity when dealing with a private accommodation provider so that we can help to protect you and other international students in case they are targeted in the same way.

Useful information

  • Before you arrive, make sure you've arranged your accommodation in the UK. This will ensure that there are no difficulties with confirming your course at immigration, and that you have a place to live. The Central Student Support team can answer any questions you have about our accommodation options and what to pack.
  • Check where and when to collect your room keys. Key collection details are outlined in your room offer.
  • Accommodation is subject to availability. The cost shown is intended as a guide only, and subject to change. The cost of your room will be confirmed in the tenancy agreement.

Kaho from Japan

I'm living in university accommodation and my flatmate is really familiar and friendly. So I really like to have conversations with my flatmate, and sometimes we are studying together and can share our opinions. Also we share the same culture, so it is really nice.
