Your Ravensbourne Accommodation will need to be booked before your arrival to the UK, and must be within 40 miles of the university. Ravensbourne are not the provider for local student accommodation, below are list of affiliated accommodation providers you may want to use.
Please ensure you read the terms and conditions of the contract before you sign or pay your deposit. Due to the tenancy agreement being with the provider and not with Ravensbourne, you will need to contact the provider directly to arrange viewings and book your room.
During your online enrolment, you will be asked for your residential term time address in the UK. You must NOT enter the university address; you must enter the address of where you will be staying whilst you are studying at Ravensbourne.
