Student accommodation in Bath
Famous for its beautiful architecture and rich history, and home to two highly performing universities in the University of Bath and Bath Spa University, it’s no surprise that Bath is packed full of domestic and international students looking for student housing.
Why use 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.
Bath student housing market: trends explained
The Bath areas with the most searches on UniHomes are unchanged for the past three letting seasons: Oldfield Park is indisputably the most popular, followed by the city centre, Twerton and Bathwick.
Oldfield Park is great for finding the 4 and 5-bed houses which are the most in-demand accommodation types among Bath students, while Southdown is another good option for finding larger student houses suitable for groups.

Bath Uni's mascot is a knitted bathtub called Tubby - so it makes sense that its students are fond of (non-rubber) ducks, too. DuckSoc is a society which organises "duck feeding sessions" as well as "other duck related activities", whatever that means.
