Fees and charges
Applications to Make Campus Home are now available!
With the rising cost of living, you can have some peace of mind knowing that living on campus not only provides the best possible start to your university experience, fantastic opportunities, invaluable memories, and lifelong friends, it also represents great value. All bills are included in the set weekly rental rate- including utilities and internet, so there are no hidden or unexpected costs. Find out more.
