Living in Chelmsford as a student
Chelmsford, home to one of Anglia Ruskin University’s campuses, is a city in Essex. It welcomes some of ARU’s 24,500 students who benefit from close proximity both to the sea and London.
Being home to students, Chelmsford naturally offers a wide array of accommodation options. The ARU houses students in its Student Village, with various en-suite and shared-facilities rooms. Private sector is also present, albeit from one major provider. Other accommodation options are also available. Private halls provide students with a good range of options. One can expect both en-suite and shared bathroom facilities, with rooms to suit most financial constraints. In additional to halls, other, private accommodation options are usually available.
Shared houses are students’ favourite, with groups of 4 or more friends being most common. Those wishing to move on from student halls will find a variety of flats, houses and apartments to choose from, in central and more suburban areas of the city. Properties like these are managed by landlords and letting agents, who in university towns often specialise in student renting, thus knowing what students need and want. Many of Chelmsford’s agents have an excellent reputation just for that.
