Living in Cranfield as a student
Serving as the seat of the Cranfield University, a postgraduate-only institution, the village welcomes around 4,500 students. The area is notable for being located close to the Cranfield Airport and the Church of St Peter and St Paul with its newly restored bells.
The 2011 census puts the village’s population at just over 5,000, excluding the student population, making the student-resident ratio truly staggering. Such a large student body as compared to residents makes Cranfield a desirable location for those hoping to immerse themselves in both the academic and countryside life. It also means that accommodation provisions within the village are numerous. Students can live in one of the 5 university halls of residence which offer a good choice of rooms, from self-catered budget option to single en-suite rooms. Students with preference for either modern or period buildings will be happy to know that university offers rooms in both types.
Private accommodation is also present, though notably not in form of halls. These should perhaps be sought in Milton Keynes or Bedford, both of which have excellent transport links to Cranfield. Students who prefer to stay in Cranfield and seek out private accommodation will need to look for flats, houses and apartments instead. This type of accommodation is well suited to more mature, postgraduate students of CU who already tried life in halls in their undergraduate studies and want to begin a more traditional tenancies. Sharing with friends is always a popular choice with students of Cranfield University. They often choose to move in with a larger group of 4 or more friends. Canterbury usually offers a good choice of flats and houses for students to choose from, conveniently located in the city centre or nearby. This type of accommodation, often aimed at the large cohort of students, is usually managed by landlords and letting agents, many of which have excellent reputation and know what students need and want.
