Our friendly residential Team are on hand, providing a front-of-house service and behind the scenes, to take care of the details so you’re free to live your best student life. And we look out for you, whether that’s pointing you to the best local or city hotspots, local area offers or checking in on your wellbeing.
As a first-year student, you’ll be allocated a room on a first-come, first-served basis. The room cost covers a range of benefits, including 24/7 friendly staff and security, energy and water bills, and fast and reliable broadband. Plus, you’ll have a Costa right next door and a launderette on site for your convenience.
A room costs £287.50 per week and contracts last 40 weeks. If you pay for your accommodation in full, we can offer you an additional discount.
I always feel safe and secure here, knowing someone in reception 24/7, monitoring who comes in and out. I have lived in London before so this was really important to me

Private Landlords
After the first year, most students arrange to live in privately rented accommodation with their friends. You can find a list of student housing provided by private landlords at Bruford Student Pad. We’l ensure that any landlords advertising through student pads hold relevant, up-to-date safety certificates for your peace of mind. There’s also information on the site about contracts, deposits and procedures, as well as providing an accommodation search facility.
Agencies
There are a number of local estate agents who would be happy to help you find a suitable room or property to rent locally. Rooms can cost anything from around £85 – to £120 per week per person plus bills, and the contract can be for anything between 6 and 12 months, depending on the individual property.
When renting in the private market, knowing your rights and responsibilities is important. If you’re sharing with other students, we highly recommend you read and understand the legal implications of certain types of joint tenancy agreements. GOV.UK private renting guidance outlines the rights and responsibilities for tenants and landlords in England, including safe housing, deposit protection, and fair eviction procedures. Key rules include providing a ‘How to rent’ guide, conducting right-to-rent checks, and ensuring repairs are made.
