About Durham
Why students choose Durham
Student accommodation in Durham is one of the most searched-for choices for international students heading to the United Kingdom. Alongside student cities like London, Nottingham, and Bristol, Durham is one of the United Kingdom's core destinations for international students. We list 10 Durham student stays with prices from £190/week, taken from the operators themselves. What each rent includes is set by the operator and shown on the property page. We do not charge students a booking fee, and we aim to reply to every enquiry within one working day.
The best areas for students in Durham share three qualities: they are close to at least one major university, they have direct public transport into the city centre, and they have enough shops, cafes, and supermarkets to be practical for daily life.

Top Durham universities and campus links
Durham hosts thousands of local and international students each academic year. When choosing where to live, prioritise a walking-distance or single-transfer commute to your specific university department, this saves 60 to 90 minutes a day of travel time.
Each Durham property page shows the nearest universities and the typical commute by public transport. If you know which the United Kingdom university you are attending, filter for properties within a 20 minute journey to make the shortlist manageable.
Best areas for students in Durham
The best areas for students in Durham share three qualities: they are close to at least one major university, they have direct public transport into the city centre, and they have enough shops, cafes, and supermarkets to be practical for daily life.
As a general rule, neighbourhoods with a high student population feel safer at night, offer part-time job opportunities in cafes and bars, and give you a built-in social scene. Ask your university's welfare office where most first-year international students live, this is usually the safest starting point for your Durham accommodation search.
Cost of living for students in Durham
The cost of student accommodation in Durham typically starts from £190/week, and rent is usually the single biggest line item in a student's budget. Beyond rent, students in Durham typically budget for groceries, public transport, mobile data, and social spending.
If Durham rents feel steep, it can be worth comparing with cities like London and Nottingham: the same weekly budget often stretches further, and some the United Kingdom universities have satellite campuses across multiple cities.

- Prices in Durham typically start from £190/week, depending on room type, location, and how early you book. Purpose-built student rooms with bills included are usually the best value overall, since utilities and WiFi are already priced in.
- For a September move-in, most students book their Durham accommodation between May and August. Booking earlier gives you the widest choice on room type, floor, and price. For January or summer intakes, book two to three months ahead.
- Your contract is signed directly with the accommodation provider, not with MoJO Housing, and we list only recognised student accommodation operators. Listing details for our 10 Durham properties come from the operator's own site and we re-check them regularly, but always confirm the price and the terms in writing with the provider before you pay. Ask the operator specifically whether your contract is a tenancy or a licence, because statutory deposit protection applies to tenancies and most purpose-built student accommodation is let on a licence.
- Purpose-built student accommodation in Durham commonly includes electricity, water, heating, WiFi, and contents insurance in the weekly rate, but the package is set by each operator and is not the same everywhere. Ask the operator exactly what the rent covers, and what is charged on top, before you pay anything.
- Most Durham PBSA properties accept either a UK-based guarantor, an international guarantor, or pay a one-time fee in lieu. If you cannot provide a guarantor, ask our team when you enquire and we will filter for properties that do not require one.
Prices and availability on this page were last checked on . Rooms and rents change often, so confirm both with the operator before you pay anything.
