About The Old Dairy

University accommodation quickly becomes more than just somewhere to sleep. It becomes your study space, your place to relax after lectures and often where you meet your closest university friends. The Old Dairy has been designed around those everyday experiences, providing accommodation that supports both academic work and life outside university.

Students can choose between shared en-suite accommodation and private studio apartments, depending on how they prefer to live. Those who enjoy a more social environment can share kitchen and communal spaces with flatmates while still having a private bedroom and bathroom. Students looking for greater independence can opt for a studio with their own kitchen and living space.

Every room comes fully furnished, allowing residents to move in without the hassle of buying furniture before term starts. Shared social spaces, study areas and outdoor courtyards also help create a friendly atmosphere where students can easily settle into their new surroundings.
