How to apply
You need your University of Bristol student number to apply for accommodation. This is sent to you by email when we confirm your place of study at Bristol.
When applications are open you can:
- register for the Accommodation Portal
- fill in the accommodation application form.
Application form questions
In the application form, you must give your:
- budget (maximum accommodation cost)
- accommodation needs (any requirements)
You can also choose to give your preferred:
- room type
- flat type
- catering (catered or self-catered)
- location (what you want to live near)
- top three residences.
After you apply
We will try to offer you a room that meets your budget and accommodation needs.
We will also try to meet as many of your other preferences as possible.
You are unlikely to get a room offer that meets all your preferences, as our accommodation is limited.
