Undergraduate accommodation

The accommodation on Queens' College's main site ranges from single bedsits to shared sets (shared study/living room and separate bedrooms) in a variety of buildings dating from the fifteenth to twentieth centuries. There are different room rates depending on the type of accommodation you live in and the facilities available to you.

You can find key information about the available accommodation below, along with 360-degree images of some typical rooms that you can explore (click on the video to rotate the image). Many rooms have shared bathroom facilities but most in the Cripps, Erasmus, and Fisher buildings have private (en suite or adjacent) bathrooms. All Queens' main site accommodation is built on the traditional staircase design, with the exception of the Erasmus building. There are lifts in the Cripps building enabling step-free access to most of its rooms. More details about the range of accommodation available can be found on the Accommodation pages for current students: Accommodation | Queens' College .
