Private accommodation

Would you prefer a house to halls? No problem, we can help with that too.

Living in private housing

The College and the Students’ Union work with all students at the College to help find suitable accommodation, and possibly even some housemates.

Finding your own accommodation

You might choose to go through a letting agency or a private landlord.

And don’t forget to join the RWCMD Facebook forum page – a closed Facebook group for support, help and advice.
