In Blackpool, student accommodation ranges from guest houses and self-catering flats to privately owned house shares. Our links with landlords/ladies are long established and most accommodation is located within easy reach of the College.

Self-catering accommodation

• If you decide to rent a flat or a bedsit, you’ll have to buy and prepare your own food and pay for your gas and electricity (usually by meter). In a complex of flats, the landlord/lady will probably live there too, along with other students.
• Cost: Around £75 to £95 per person per week

Room in a shared house

• In a house share, you will have your own bedroom but share the rest of the house with other students (anything from 3 to 6 depending on how big the house is). A lot of landlords ask for their rent termly and can offer inclusive rents (this means your bills are included). You’ll need to buy your own food as well.
• Cost: Around £75 to £95 per person per week for the rent
