Leicester has a large student population so there is a wide range of high-quality student accommodation available across campus. The Global Study Centre (GSC) team work closely with the University Accommodation Office to find the right place for each student to live, ensuring that students mix with other University of Leicester students, creating great social opportunities for all students.

The Global Study Centre is located at the heart of The Village, which is only a short bus ride to the main Campus and the City Centre. If you choose to stay in The Village, you will be in walking distance of a local supermarket, shops as well as all the Village facilities including a laundrette, gym and more!

The Village accommodation is surrounded by beautiful green space and is also home to the University of Leicester’s very own Botanical Gardens. The Village is enriched with a range of converted Edwardian villas and lodges and each room has its own unique features including secret gardens and wood panelling décor.

The Village accommodation is self-catered with supermarkets within walking distance, as well as a variety of food options on campus. You can also purchase catering credit to use in on-campus cafes and restaurants if you don’t think of yourself as a chef!

There is an active events and activities calendar in The Village accommodation site.
