St Mary's will endeavour to offer you university accommodation in your first year, however this cannot be guaranteed. If we are oversubscribed then priority will be given to students who live outside a 25-mile radius of St Mary��s campus. All of our halls provide high quality accommodation and easy access to facilities on campus. There is campus-wide wi-fi available, and all accommodation contracts include a student meal plan. If we are unable to make you an offer of accommodation in halls, you will be given information on external accommodation in the local area. Our accommodation varies from purpose-built student halls with en-suite bathrooms, to large converted Victorian houses with shared facilities. De Marillac is our largest hall of residence and provides 180 en-suite bedrooms, some of which have been adapted to provide facilities for students with disabilities.
