London is an exciting and creative city to live and study in, and finding the right home is an important part of your experience here. We work with a number of accommodation providers to help you find a home whilst you are at Ravensbourne. Whether you are looking for halls of residence style accommodation, or housing in the private sector, we have a range of options to suit you. We partner with Scape Living to provide stylish accommodation on the Greenwich Peninsula. We have an allocation of rooms that we can offer at a reduced rate. Demand for these spaces is high so we strongly advise you to register your interest and book as early as possible. Student Homes Initiative Ravensbourne is also proud to be part of the Student Homes initiative that connects students directly with properties. This is designed to deliver affordable house-shares to Ravensbourne students. The scheme works on a first-come, first-served basis so early booking is advised. We have a very limited number of spaces and these are managed by the University of London House Services (ULHS) on our behalf. This means that ULHS would be the landlord and whilst a deposit up front is required, there are no costly admin fees. The Students’ Union also has a Facebook page dedicated to students looking for accommodation or for flatmates. For more information email [email protected] Student Accommodation Renting privately? We advise you to register with the University of London Housing Services. This allows you to search their database for privately rented rooms, flats and houses. There is also a vast amount of information about renting in the private sector, budgets and the best times to start hunting. You can also try Hosts International, who offer a whole accommodation service, including live-in landlord lets. For more information please visit ravensbourne.ac.uk/accommodation 15
