ACCOMMODATION
Lanchester Hall of Residence, Cranfield
This Hall offers only self-catered accommodation, with rooms and facilities similar to those in Mitchell Hall. There are no catering facilities but each group of seven rooms has access to a modern well equipped kitchen area. Students can make use of an oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, kettle and full range of cooking utensils.
They also have access to a vacuum cleaner and iron. Each student has a lockable cupboard for storing food. All communal areas are cleaned daily but students are responsible for cleaning their own rooms and maintaining a good standard of cleanliness elsewhere. They are required to supply their own bed linen, duvet/blankets and pillows.
These rooms are available at the current rate of £102.40 including VAT per week which must be paid by monthly direct debit. Students will be required to sign a tenancy agreement and pay a refundable £235 key deposit.

Off-Campus Accommodation
It is not a mandatory requirement for Integrated Course students to reside in the University Halls. For those who prefer to arrange their own local accommodation there are two options.
Cabair Integrated always holds a full listing to cover local Bed and Breakfast availability and this information can be obtained by email from our Customer Services.
For those with families and/or wishing to relocate, we have always found Thomas Charles Estate Agents in Bedford to be extremely helpful and they can offer a full range of rental opportunities locally. Information can be obtained from their site www.tcea.co.uk.
