Undergraduate Accommodation

More than 25 miles away?

We’ll guarantee you a room in your first year.

One of the best aspects of becoming a student at BCUC is the opportunity to live independently. Moving away from home can be fun, but it can also take a little getting used to. The easiest way to adapt to your new way of life is to live in halls of residence or accommodation provided by BCUC.

We guarantee that all full-time, first-year students now living outside a 25-mile radius of High Wycombe will receive an offer of a room. If, however, you live within 25 miles of the BCUC, our friendly and helpful accommodation team will do their best to find you suitable housing locally – whether in halls or local privately owned houses. You’ll find that each of our three campuses has a friendly atmosphere, excellent facilities and plenty going on, but we can’t guarantee that your accommodation will be in exactly the same area as your place of study.

Safe and Secure Accommodation

Properties within our ‘Head Tenancy’ Scheme are rented by the University College from private individuals, companies or housing associations, meaning that BCUC is your landlord.

We pride ourselves on providing a safe and secure environment in which to study and live. There’s a Senior Resident Scheme, both in halls and Head Tenancy properties, where second or third year students help newcomers to settle in. The Senior Residents can offer support and advice, as well as information about halls, local facilities and services.

For more details of the hall options at our different campuses, please visit the Accommodation Service section of our website, altenatively telephone us on 01494 551057 or 01494 551058 or contact us via email.

Free Bus Service – Campus Link

There’s a free bus service between our campuses at Chalfont, Wellesbourne and High Wycombe – allowing you the opportunity to use all of our facilities to the full. It may also help you to find part-time employment slightly further afield.

There is no car parking available at these campuses.

Head Tenancy Scheme

All University College-managed halls are reserved for single BCUC students only. If you prefer to live in a house rather than halls you will need to attend one of our 'Meet and Greet' days, organised by the Accommodation Service. Here you can meet other students and choose a house from those available. All our properties are well maintained and inspected regularly by the Accommodation Service. All our properties are accredited by Wycombe District Council.

Private Sector Housing

There are a large number of suitable properties in the private sector. Details of these are available from the Accommodation Service. Married students or students with children will be offered every assistance in finding accommodation in the private sector by our Accommodation Service.

Senior Residents

At both campuses and houses on the Head Tenancy Scheme, we have a team of Senior Residents, who will be available to help you settle in and adjust to your new way of life.

Eligibility for Halls

If you live within a 25-mile radius of High Wycombe you are not eligible to be housed in halls at High Wycombe in the first instance, but you can apply via a waiting list after the beginning of term. Also, of all the High Wycombe students eligible to live in halls, only 70% can be allocated a room at High Wycombe. Therefore, you are asked to consider living at Chalfont Campus, which is approximately 12 miles from High Wycombe. This is particularly suitable for students studying at Wellesbourne Campus who have transport, although there is a University College bus service between all campuses.
