Friargate Court Preston Student Accommodation Overview

Walk out of Friargate Court Preston, and UCLan is only a few minutes away. That alone puts it on the shortlist for many students, but the location isn't the whole story. Bills come included, room choices cover both shared and private living, and the city centre is close enough that most daily plans happen on foot.

The building is also known as Friargate Court Student and Keyworker Accommodation, so alongside students you'll find keyworkers living here throughout the year. That creates a quieter atmosphere than accommodation made up entirely of first-year residents.

If you've compared a few options before booking, you'll probably notice that Friargate Court Preston accommodation focuses on the things students actually use every day instead of filling the building with extras that rarely leave the brochure.

Why Choose Friargate Court Preston?

Some accommodation gives you a good location but very little else. Others include plenty of facilities while adding a long commute every morning. Friargate Court Preston manages to avoid both problems.

Less time travelling means more time for lectures, part-time work or simply catching up with friends.
