Accommodation is normally provided for 39 weeks for undergraduates (the standard three terms plus the start of the summer vacation) and for 50 weeks and 4 days for postgraduates. In both catered and self-catered halls, the offer includes residence for Christmas and Easter vacations.
Most accommodation for students contracts align with the academic year. These usually last for about 40 to 44 weeks, starting in late September and running through to mid-June. This period typically covers the entire term time, including the exam period.
Do I have to live on campus? Yes. King University policy stipulates all unmarried students who are under the age of 21 at the time of enrollment who do not live with parent(s) or guardian(s) are required to live in college-owned housing for the fall and spring semesters.
1.27 KAAS rooms will be allocated on a first come first served basis until all available spaces have been allocated.
If you have a fixed term agreement and for some reason you want to move out of halls before the end of the fixed term, you can only end the agreement early if: there is a term in your agreement, known as a break clause, which allows you to end the agreement early.
In addition, all new undergraduate students on a 40-week contract and all postgraduate students are guaranteed accommodation with us if they book before the guarantee deadline. Before you make a booking, explore our residences page to fully understand the location, room fees, and facilities available at each residence.
First-year students traditionally reside in two facilities: Esseff Hall for women, and Holy Cross Hall for men. The majority of the rooms available are double occupancy, but students can apply for single rooms if they are available.
A Roommate Agreement is a written contract between roommates that outlines their rights and obligations while living together. This agreement includes house rules, maintenance duties, restricted behaviors, and more. For a Roommate Agreement to be useful, everyone sharing the household must agree to it.
The university is based across five campuses in the heart of London, and like its host city, the academic community at King's is diverse, with 41% of faculty from outside of the UK.
