All HYMS students are based at either Hull or York in their first two years. First-year students (and second-year international students) who apply for a place in
University residences by 1 September are
guaranteed accommodation.
At Hull
The University of Hull offers many different types of
accommodation, including catered halls of residence,
self-catering on-campus flats, and self-catering
university-owned student houses. A number of
residences are specially adapted for students with
disabilities. Prices range from £55 for a student house
(self-catered) to £126 per week for a large, fully-catered room in university halls of residence.
Although all of these options are available to you
as a HYMS student, we recommend that student
houses or the en-suite rooms in Taylor Court flats
would be best suited to your needs, because these
places offer a contract which fits in with the longer
HYMS terms. In halls the 31-week contract period is
shorter than the HYMS term length, so you will need
to make alternative arrangements to cover the extra
days. Depending on availability, you might be able to
arrange a move into a student house for this period.
At York
If you're based at York, you will become a member
of one of the University's eight undergraduate
colleges which all have extensive on-campus
accommodation. College rooms are single, and
about half of them have en-suite facilities.
Most rooms are self-catering, but meals are available
at the range of café bars and dining rooms around
campus. The university provides an inclusive catered accommodation package for a number of rooms in Derwent and Langwith colleges. Most colleges also have a TV room, a bar,
a common room, and a laundrette. There is specially
appointed accommodation for those with disabilities.
A typical week's rent for a single student is between
£85–£118. Most rooms are let on a 38-week basis.
