Living on Campus

Home away from home

There are many advantages to living in campus accommodation. You’ll be part of a close community of around 600 like-minded people, which offers the potential to make hundreds of lifelong friends. Residing on campus puts you at the centre of uni life and a short distance from everything you need – friends, food, gyms, shops, bars, cafes and, of course, lectures! It's a great way to start your life at university.  

Social life on tap

Living on campus, you'll have a ready-made social life on your doorstep and a fantastic support network that comes in handy when you're away from home for the first time. There's always a lot going on and when you need to get some study done or enjoy a bit of “me-time”, just close your door. 

Every hall has at least one Residential Assistant (RA) living on-site with you. These are seasoned Lincoln students, available to help with everything from study tips or talking through any issues you might have. Of course, it goes without saying that there is free and unlimited WiFi, so you can connect with friends and family whenever you want. 

Health and happiness

As a campus resident, your mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing are all well catered for. Gyms, pastoral care services and the Student Health Centre are all just a few minutes’ walk from where you live. 

Types of accommodation

Everyone is different, so each accommodation option has its own personality and vibe. 

Halls

We have 7 fully-catered Halls of Residence, all centrally located and owned and run by Lincoln University. Each hall has free unlimited WiFi, social areas and SKY TV.

First-year students normally live in the catered halls and those who are more mature reside in our self-catered flats. However, anyone is welcome in the fully-catered facilities - it's great to have all your meals provided for you! 

Flats

We have 2 self-catered flat options, including new flats with ensuite bathrooms in each room. There are 4 or 5 rooms per unit and you can either tell us who you want to live with or we'll match you up. 

Flats are great for students from second year and above, as they offer independent living. Like the Halls of Residence, they have Residential Assistants, organised events, security and support when needed. 

Houses

We have a limited amount of campus houses, ranging from 2 to 4 bedrooms. They're ideal for students with families but, as you can imagine, they are in high demand. Please speak directly with Accommodation Services to be considered for a house.

Our online accommodation system

Portal X

You'll be able to access the system using your Lincoln logins once you have joined us as a student resident.
