Accommodation
The Village
Browse our hallsDiscover the perfect blend of campus life and nature in The Village. Nestled among green spaces and moments from the beautiful Botanic gardens, the wide variety of accommodation offers a unique living experience that combines character, comfort, and a strong sense of community - just right for both studying and socialising.
There are four halls of residence in The Village: Gilbert Murray, Beaumont, John Foster, and Stamford. Each has its own distinctive features and range of room types/prices. We offer a range of fantastic converted properties - mostly Edwardian villas and lodges, built before the First World War. Each house is unique and each room is different, with notable details that include wood-panelled walls and secret gardens.
The Village offers dedicated study spaces such as The Village Hub, and during the summer, why not head outside to study or relax on the green, surrounded by nature and fresh air?
To make travelling to campus easier, we offer a free University Shuttle Bus service which is only available to University of Leicester students and staff, and runs from Monday to Saturday during term time.
Our amazing programme provides support for all residents. We have Residential Advisors who do well-being visits, as well as host fun social events!
All our accommodation is self-catered.
