Living in Carlisle as a student
Carlisle, the ‘Great Border City’ serves as home to the University of Cumbria with its 7,500 students. Carlisle’s rich history, roman origins and a large student-to-resident ratio make it a particularly attractive and welcoming destination for students.
As a university city, Carlisle has a good accommodation provision—both from university’s 3 halls and private sector. University halls offer both en-suite and shared bathroom rooms, communal kitchens and on-site laundry facilities. Some of the private providers work closely with university and provide a similar, if not somewhat higher, standard of accommodation.
Private halls are largely en-suite, with some standard rooms available too. Communal areas are popular with students and allow for a bustling social life. Some of private halls are located in new, purpose-built ‘townhouses’ for those preferring a more traditional building style, while many offer more traditional, single-block architecture. There is also a good range of other accommodation options for those preferring tenancy in a flat or a house.
Year in year students choose to live with friends in a group of 4 or more. Driving down costs and ability to rent beautiful period houses are few among the many reasons for renting privately. There is sure to be a good supply of flats, apartments and houses in central, as well as more peripheral locations of the city, managed by property market professionals, many of which have an excellent reputation in Carlisle. Whether you are looking for a city centre townhouse, or a place in the greener areas, Carlisle is sure to offer a fantastic variety to choose from.
