Off-campus Residence Hall
Off-campus housing is arranged by London Met's study abroad office and a local housing provider. Housing is limited and is allocated on a first come, first served basis. Housing costs for this program are not included in the USAC program fee. This housing option is a double occupancy flat (apartment), shared among two students. Private apartments or studios may be available for an additional cost. The residence hall is located in a vibrant neighborhood in North London, just 25 minutes from London Met’s main Holloway Campus by bus. Housing is limited in London, so all students are highly encouraged to take advantage of this option.
Student-Arranged Housing
There are several other housing options available, ranging from third-party student housing providers to private accommodations located throughout London. Although USAC provides you with housing information, it is your responsibility to research and apply for housing separately, if you decide that you do not want to live in the program-arranged off-campus residence hall. Prices may vary considerably depending on your selection and location. Most of these options can be arranged for single or double occupancy. The more economical options go quickly, so it's in your best interest to start looking early.
