As an alternative to living on-campus you may wish toconsider the off campus accommodation available.Chichester, Bognor Regis and the surrounding area hasa large number of properties and housing suitable forstudents. These include Private Rented, Homestay andPrivate Home Accommodation.

Private Rented Accommodation is a property rentedfrom a Landlord. Usually a group of students or friendsget together and rent a property (or a room in aproperty). You can search for available properties viaour Studentpad website(www.studentpad.co.uk/chichester). If you registerwith Studentpad then you will receive regular e-mailupdates on any new properties that become available.All the properties advertised have been inspected by amember of the Accommodation Team.

Private Home Accommodation is similar to lodging; youwill rent a room in a local landlord’s property. This maybe worth considering as there are several advantages.The rent is generally cheaper and bills are oftenincluded in the rent. Owner occupied properties aregenerally kept in better repair than rented properties.You do not have to commit yourself to a long-termcontract, often you can arrange to stay for as little astwo weeks. This means if things are not working outthen you can end the arrangement fairly painlessly.There is no such thing as a typical resident landlord.Some are young professionals or recent graduates,others are middle aged couples and some are retired.Although most students’ first preference wouldprobably be to share with other students, it is worthconsidering the advantages of this arrangement.

Homestay landlords are resident landlords, often withchildren and/or pets, offering accommodation inclusiveof meals and the opportunity to live as part of theirfamily. It is a very popular option with Internationalstudents who may be looking to improve their languageskills. Occasionally you may be asked to pay a depositwhen renting a room and many hosts will require aretainer fee or full rental fee if you are away on holidaybut still wish to retain the room.

If you require any help or advice when looking for offcampus accommodation you can contact ourAccommodation Office or look on the Studentpadwebsite. The team can offer information on what tolook for in a property, housing costs and tenancy law. Achecklist can also be printed off as a guide on what tolook for when visiting properties. There is also astudent message board which allows you to contactother University of Chichester students to look forpotential sharers or if you have a vacancy in yourproperty to advertise.
