Choosing your student accommodation is an important step in your study journey. There will be different options available and you will need to think carefully about what type of accommodation best suits you.
There are different types of accommodation that may be available to you:
- On-campus accommodation (University Student halls) – Accommodation provided by the university.
- Off-campus accommodation – Is an accredited or university partner-run accommodation facility. These can be like university halls.
Private rental – Renting a house or an apartment from a landlord or agency. Always check with your university for a list of reliable agents and landlords.
You should always be prepared to pay an upfront deposit and/or rental fees. Read any contract or agreement you receive carefully and if you have any concerns contact the university accommodation officer, agency or landlord directly.
It is important to note that the Assistive Grant may not cover all the costs of the accommodation, therefore it is important before entering into any agreement that you check that it is within your budget.
HM Government of Gibraltar cannot act as a guarantor and/ or sponsor for your accommodation.
Any issues or concerns relating to your accommodation must be addressed by yourself directly with the accommodation provider.
