Private Accommodation

Norwich is one of the safest cities in the UK and has an abundance of high-quality and affordable private accommodation close to the University.

Renting private student accommodation

If you decide not to apply for university-managed accommodation, or if we’re unable to allocate you a place, we’ll provide a list of suitable private accommodation in Norwich. Our Accommodation Team will encourage you to join the Norwich Uni Freshers Facebook group and to add your name on the Year One student share list on the pre-enrolment portal to help you find your new housemates.

How to find a property and room
