The Advance License Fee remains the same for two people sharing a room.

Not at all! All their self-contained studios have an ensuite bathroom and kitchen area within the apartment. There is a communal student area outside of your studio that has individual and group study spaces, pool tables, gym facility and relaxation and social zones for you to enjoy whenever you need a break from university work!

All utility bills (gas, water and electricity), super-fast Wi-Fi and contents insurance for your belongings are included. You are responsible for the purchase of a TV license if you intend to watch or record live terrestrial TV programmes or use BBC iPlayer, even if you have been provided with a TV by Vivo.
