Most first-year students live in halls of residence. This provides a safe, welcoming environment in which your child can get used to living independently. It’s also a great way to meet other new students while they are settling in.
We guarantee that all full-time first-year students who choose Oxford Brookes as either their firm or insurance choice will be offered accommodation as long as they apply by the deadline and meet the academic criteria for their offer. For full details on our guarantees please take a look at our allocation policy.
Support
Each Brookes-managed hall (with the exception of Friar Court who can contact Brookes Lettings) has a dedicated on-site manager to support students during the day, and Hall Wardens available overnight to provide additional assistance. Our hall staff are experienced in helping new students settle in and feel at home. In addition, Oxford Brookes provides 24/7 campus security to ensure a safe and supportive living environment. For more information, please take a look at our support in halls.

Where to get help?
If your child has any concerns about living in their hall, encourage them to speak with the staff at their hall office. The team is there to help and can offer support with a wide range of issues, big or small.
It’s important to bear in mind that we need to hear directly from the student. We have a contractual agreement with them, and are unable to discuss their contract with anybody else under Data Protection legislation.
