In September 2006 Stratford-upon-Avon College opened the doors to its new campus accommodation blocks. These purpose-built apartments, built and managed in association with the Cosmopolitan Housing Group, offer students comfortable surroundings and brand new facilities at competitive rates, all within easy walking distance of their classrooms and other college buildings.
Students live in apartments of no more than 6 people. Each student has their own private bedroom with an ensuite shower room (complete with shower, handbasin and toilet). Each bedroom is furnished with a bed, bedside table, desk, chair, shelving and wardrobe. Students also have a telephone and internet access in their rooms. There is a communal kitchen and living area in each apartment.
All utility bills are included in the accommodation fees, with the exception of internet charges. Cosmopolitan Student Homes provides a TV licence for the television set in the living area of the flat. Students can choose to have a television set (or TV-viewing equipment) in their bedrooms; however, students are responsible for their own TV licence should they wish to have a television in their room. For more information regarding TV licencing please see our Frequently Asked Questions| section. There is 24 hour security and CCTV in operation.
Please be advised that interest in the campus accommodation is extremely high and places will be offered to students on a first come, first served basis to students with a confirmed place on their chosen course.

Applying
Once you have been offered a place on a full-time course, you will need to complete an online application on Cosmopolitan's website:
To complete your application and accept your e-contract, you will need:
An Email Account
Remember, the email address you give us is our only way to communicate with you. We will be sending you an e-contract as well as updates and arrival information during term and non-term times. We wouldn't want you to miss out on anything!
Know where you want to live!
It might sound obvious but you will need to know which Cosmopolitan site you wish to live at and what tenancy length works for you. Any student wishing to live at Stratford-upon-Avon College will need to apply for the Stratford site.
Guarantor
You will need to provide us with your guarantor's personal details. Basically this is the person who will pay if you don't! Remember, you will need to get their consent before providing us with their details.
Credit/Debit Card
When you accept your offer of accommodation you will need to pay a refundable £250 deposit and set up a recurring card payment relating to your chosen rent instalments. (If you are re-booking we will carry your deposit forward).
IMPORTANT:
June to September is an extremely busy period for the Accommodation Office due to the high volume of applications we receive. Please do not contact us for progress reports on your application. This may delay your application process and that of other students. We also advise you to visit our Frequently Asked Questions| section which we hope will answer any queries you may have.
We will endeavour to respond to you within 2 working days of receiving your initial application.
