Why UniHomes?

Since 2019, we've worked with a wide range of Bath letting agents to showcase the best student houses, flats and halls from across the city in one convenient platform - and all with bills already included. Bath is one of the most competitive cities in the UK for student accommodation, and we're here to make the search quicker and easier.

Being a Student in Bath

Bath is full of historical architecture and attractions, such as Pulteney Bridge, which sits on the River Avon. The city received World Heritage Site status in 1987 as a result of being home to a bunch of 18th-century architecture, Roman remains, natural hot springs and a stunning landscape setting. The hot springs and Roman Baths are a huge tourist attraction in Bath, with the city's famous Thermae Spa being Britain's only natural thermal spa.

The universities, thriving nightlife and extensive heritage draw in over 21,000 students to the city each year. The University of Bath is understandably a popular place of study. Due to the university's high standard of teaching, it was awarded the Royal Charter in 1966, and currently holds the TEF Gold Award. The university is also known for its high-profile sporting facilities, where international competitions, such as the tennis Fed Cup, are held. 

For those interested in culture, there’s plenty to indulge in - from museums, art galleries and theatres. Not to mention the famous Roman Baths, narrowboat trips and surrounding national parks. For festival lovers, Bath is an absolute hot spot. The city is home to the famous Bath Festival. Plus, with just a short train ride to Bristol and Brighton, getting to either Glastonbury or Brighton Pride is easy.

A night out closer to home is also on the cards. There are plenty of Student Union events at each university, as well as student clubs such as Labyrinth.

University of Bath Accommodation

For those studying at the University of Bath, most areas in Bath have great transport links to the main Claverton Down Campus. Oldfield Park and Bathwick are both within walking distance of the city centre, and are close to the action for students from the University of Bath. If you want to be right by campus, Widcombe is just beside the university. This is perfect for anyone who wants just a short walk to their morning lectures. The area still has good links into the city for those brilliant Bath bar crawls.

Bath Spa University Accommodation

For students studying at Bath Spa University, the most popular and convenient place to live is Oldfield Park. The area has direct bus routes into campus, as well as many useful local amenities and great nightlife situated in the area.
