The Perks of Lancaster University Accommodation (Spoiler, It’s More Than Just a Bed)

What It’s Really Like Living in Lancaster University Accommodation

When you’re looking for a live at uni in September, it’s easy to focus on the basics, Is it clean? Is the room a decent size? Can I walk to lectures without needing a hiking pack and a compass?! But when it comes to Lancaster University accommodation, there’s a whole lot more to think about when weighing up your options.

That’s where Bailrigg Student Living comes in. Our Lancaster University accommodation is just a short 10 minute walk to campus and offers all the convenience of uni halls with a little more breathing room. Whether you’re heading into first year and don’t know where to start or if you are looking for a great off campus option that keeps you close to everything, Bailrigg is a solid choice.

1. Bills Included with Fewer Headaches

One of the best things about our Lancaster University accommodation is that your bills are included. That means no panicking over rising energy costs, no worries about whose turn it is to sort the Wi-Fi and no nasty surprises when the heating goes on in October. At Bailrigg, all utilities are included, so you can just focus on what matters (studying, socialising and hanging your with your flatmates in the shared kitchen.)

2. Reliable Wi-Fi and Study Space

Let’s face it, Uni life means online life. Whether you’re streaming your lectures, working on late night essays or just watching Traitors, reliable Wi-Fi is non negotiable. Bailrigg has you covered, with fast broadband included in every room. Plus, if you fancy a change of scene, you’ve got access to quiet study areas and study rooms Lancaster students can use when you need a bit more focus.

3. Maintenance Team On Hand

Something not working? Just submit a request and the team will usually sort it out quickly. No waiting around or chasing dodgy landlords. This makes Lancaster Uni accommodation like Bailrigg especially reassuring (and let’s be honest, puts your parents minds at rest).

4. Lancaster Uni Laundry and Other OnSite Facilities

Ah, laundry. You might not love doing it, but it’s made a lot easier when there are onsite facilities in your building. Bailrigg has its own laundry room plus secure bike storage, bright communal lounges, a cinema room and an outdoor courtyard for when the weather actually cooperates.

5. Support When You Need It

Living at Bailrigg means you’re part of a supportive student community, with onsite staff and secure entry. There’s help nearby if you lock yourself out, need maintenance or if you simply need a friendly face to check in with. It can make a massive difference when you’re adjusting to uni life.

6. Easy Access to Everything Else

One of the best parts about Bailrigg is its location! It’s just a 10 minute walk to campus, meaning that lectures, the library, college bars and the Lancaster University gym are all on your doorstep. That means no buses, no late night Ubers – just roll out of bed and head to your 9am.
