Student Accommodation in Bath

With two highly performing universities, it’s no surprise that this Somerset city is packed full of domestic and international students looking for student housing in Bath.

The unis are located at opposite ends of Bath, and the student areas that sit between them are a popular choice for student accommodation, no matter where you choose to study.

There are a number of sought-after areas to choose from if you are looking to study at the University of Bath. Student accommodation is spread across various areas in the city, which are bound to suit your taste, depending on what kind of student home you’re looking for.

The city is graced with an abundance of stunning 18th-century Georgian properties - many of which have now been renovated into large student houses. While these are perfect for big groups, Bath also offers three-storey Georgian-style terraced houses for mid-sized groups, as well as double-bedroom student apartments for those wanting to live alone or with a partner.

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.
