How to find last minute accommodation

Picking your university through clearing and trying to find last minute accommodation? Don’t worry, we’ve got all the information you need to make this experience less stressful.

Results Day looms over students each year causing stress over grades and your first choice uni or what to do when you don’t get the offer you want. Now that day has been and gone, your hunt for somewhere to live may have just begun. You may feel like everyone else is at an advantage if they found their university living space early, but with Accommodation For Students you can choose from a range of room options and find a great place to stay – even if it is last minute!

Where do I look?

If you’re a student going through Clearing, you will know that lots of people may change their mind or swap their university choice based off their grades. During August, lots of adverts pop up on social media for housing plans that have changed for certain circumstances and this is the perfect chance for someone looking last minute to get involved in a house share.

During Clearing, lots of universities also open accommodation spaces that were reserved especially for students in this situation – so be sure to check out their website and enquire what options are available!

Still can’t find anything?

In the event that you can’t find any ads on social media and your uni has no accommodation spaces left, don’t panic! 

Our website is in partnership with Student Housemates, a site that allows you to share a house with other students. Every listing is reviewed by our moderators to ensure the offers are hosted by students for students. Our blog tells you more about how to find a spare room using House Mates.

On top of that, we have plenty of accommodation available on our website, including a range of student halls and private listings. We also have the Instant Booking feature, so that you can secure your place straight away to ease up some of that stress.
