When applying through clearing, students have many things to consider when choosing their student accommodation.
It’s possible that your university won’t be able to offer your preferred room, or even accommodation, during the clearing process as they may have already been filled. Take the time to consider what’s important to you and what you’re happy to compromise on. Is an en-suite bathroom imperative? Would you prefer being close to campus, or walking distance from the train station? Does living in a studio flat with its own kitchen appeal to you more than a shared flat? We’ll be able to help you find a clearing accommodation setting that ticks all your boxes.
Still some question marks around next year?
We get it, sometimes you just need a minute to get your head around what comes next. When you're ready, we'll match your vibe at Student Roost. Your story continues with us.

Frequently asked questions
Yes! Although options for last minute student accommodation during clearing can be limited, don’t fret if you’re applying late for student accommodation!
Purpose-built student accommodation, like Student Roost, offers students a choice of different types of rooms, with shared kitchens or studios. Shared housing or renting a room in a house is another option for last-minute clearing accommodation. Our ranges of locations offers accommodation close to a range of major universities in the UK. Browse our student accommodation locations today – so you’re all ready for the year ahead.
The dates for clearing change from year to year, but this year the clearing process opened on 5th July 2025, to give those who are yet to secure any offers, like those who missed the UCAS deadline, the chance to go to university. You can still apply through clearing up until 24th September 2025 (18:00) GMT and the deadline to finalise your choice, when clearing is due to close, is October 20th 2025.
Not all universities, Oxford, Cambridge and some Russell Group institutions to name a few, take part in clearing. The same goes for really popular courses like midwifery, veterinary science and medicine.
Clearing is a set period of time, usually between July and October, where all universities post the remaining places on their undergraduate courses online. It’s an opportunity for those who may have changed their mind about continuing their education, the course they want to study or for those who haven’t met the conditions of their offers. To get clued up about clearing, read our handy blog that explains exactly what clearing is.
All students are guaranteed accommodation through clearing, however, the options available to you at your university may be limited. Most universities will have an online portal to apply for student accommodation, or by speaking to your university's accommodation office, they will be able to point you in the direction of privately owned student accommodation (like Student Roost) or letting agents.
