About The Tramshed

Moving to university means getting used to a new place, new routines and, for many students, living away from home for the first time. Your accommodation becomes part of that adjustment. It is where you'll work between lectures, cook meals, meet flatmates and spend time when you're not on campus.

The Tramshed Preston offers two main styles of accommodation. En-suite rooms sit within shared apartments, giving residents their own bathroom while sharing the kitchen and other common areas with flatmates. Studios come with private kitchen and bathroom facilities, which makes them a better fit for students who want more privacy.

Rooms are furnished before you move in, so there is less to arrange when you arrive. The property also has study rooms for coursework and revision, along with communal areas where residents can sit down, meet friends or take a break from studying. Laundry facilities, bike storage and on-site maintenance are also available for the practical side of student life.

The Tramshed Preston Clearing

Clearing can leave students with little time to sort out accommodation, especially once university places start being confirmed. Rooms close to major campuses can become harder to secure as the admissions period progresses, so it makes sense to check availability soon after receiving your offer.

Room availability can change during Clearing, so students who already know where they will be studying should check the available room types, prices and tenancy details early.
