Breakfast and lunch or dinner is provided every day during term time (including weekends), and in Welcome Week. That makes 31 weeks.

Please note that your overall accommodation contract is 40 weeks and we do not cater during the Christmas and Easter vacations. However, food will be available to purchase outside of these times.

No problem at all, we can cater for most dietary requirements and allergies, and all venues serving catered accommodation food are allergen accredited. Simply get in touch with the catering team in advance, or have a word with somebody on your first day.

There are dining outlets conveniently placed for each of the colleges that offer the catered option, and you can find out details of these on the Meet, Eat & Drink web pages here.

All students on the scheme are housed together in blocks, in their own colleges.

Ensuite catered rooms are available in Cartmel, County and Lonsdale Colleges, at £256.20 per week. In Bowland College they cost £231.84 per week.

Whichever room type you choose will be exactly the same as its non-catered equivalent.

Your study-bedroom will be fitted out with a bed (with under-bed storage), desk, wardrobe, drawers, notice board, shelves and a chair. Curtains or blinds will be at the windows.

Again, whichever type of accommodation you live in will still offer the same facilities as its non-catered equivalent.

The kitchens are equipped with cookers and microwaves, kettle and toaster, fridges and freezers and cupboard storage space, as well as table and seating.

A vacuum cleaner, ironing board and iron are also supplied.

You can find more information and photographs of each room type in the main undergraduate section of our website.
