Important Additional Points
- Additional housing is arranged each term, as needed. We aim to provide similar locations and housing types to our regular venues. While we ensure all housing satisfies general standards, there is no way to guarantee uniformity of apartment and room sizes, distance from university, furnishings or facilities.
- Meals are not included so you will have to budget for groceries and prepare your own meals.
- Academic Year students can not stay in Arcadia housing during the winter break. Speak with your Program Advisor if you plan to stay in London during this period as they can advise on alternative arrangements.
- Students with serious health concerns should notify their Program Advisor during the application process and indicate any specific needs on their housing preference form.
- Every room is different and unique. While Arcadia ensures that all rooms satisfy our general standards, we cannot guarantee uniformity of apartment and room sizes, furnishings or facilities.
- Arcadia reserves the right to alter or change housing options at any time should circumstances warrant.
