Off Campus Accommodation

As an alternative to living on-campus you may wish to considerthe off campus accommodationavailable. Chichester, Bognor Regisand the surrounding area has alarge number of properties andhousing suitable for students.

These include Private Rented, Homestay andPrivate Home Accommodation. Private RentedAccommodation is a property rented from aLandlord. Usually a group of students or friendsget together and rent a property (or a room in aproperty). You can search for available propertiesvia our Studentpad website(www.studentpad.co.uk/chichester). If you registerwith Studentpad then you will receive regular e-mail updates on any new properties that becomeavailable. All the properties advertised have beeninspected by a member of the AccommodationTeam.

Private Home Accommodation is similar tolodging; you will rent a room in a local landlord’sproperty. This may be worth considering as thereare several advantages. The rent is generallycheaper and bills are often included in the rent.Owner occupied properties are generally kept inbetter repair than rented properties. You do nothave to commit yourself to a long-term contract,often you can arrange to stay for as little as twoweeks. This means if things are not working outthen you can end the arrangement fairly painlessly.There is no such thing as a typical residentlandlord. Some are young professionals or recentgraduates, others are middle aged couples andsome are retired. Although most students’ firstpreference would probably be to share with otherstudents, it is worth considering the advantages ofthis arrangement.

Homestay landlords are resident landlords, oftenwith children and/or pets, offeringaccommodation inclusive of meals and theopportunity to live as part of their family. It is avery popular option with International studentswho may be looking to improve their languageskills. Occasionally you may be asked to pay adeposit when renting a room and many hosts willrequire a retainer fee or full rental fee if you areaway on holiday but still wish to retain the room.

If you require any help or advice when looking foroff campus accommodation you can contact ourAccommodation Office or look on theStudentpad website. The team can offerinformation on what to look for in a property,housing costs and tenancy law. A checklist can alsobe printed off as a guide on what to look for whenvisiting properties. There is also a student messageboard which allows you to contact otherUniversity of Chichester students to look forpotential sharers or if you have a vacancy in yourproperty to advertise.

On your arrival you will be asked to sign a roominventory and your room will be checked againstthis information on your departure.

Please note that if you are unsuccessful in attainingthe necessary grades for entry to the University ofChichester a full refund will be given.

Basic insurance cover is included in the cost ofyour room.

Please be aware that the Residential LicenceAgreement you sign when you take up Universityaccommodation is a legally binding contract.

Although we have twin rooms for couples on ourBognor Regis campus, where both parties arestudying with us, unfortunately, we do not providerooms for spouses, partners or family members.
