The University of Lincoln lists five university-run residences, with weekly rents from £129 for an en-suite at 179 High Street to £191 at St Marks and Cygnet Wharf. Rent at 179 High Street covers utility bills, Wi-Fi, contents insurance and gym membership. This guide sets out each residence, the contract lengths, how to apply and what to check if you rent privately instead.

Details come from the University of Lincoln’s accommodation pages, checked on 19 October 2026. The main accommodation page does not name the year its prices apply to, although the 179 High Street figures match that residence’s 2026/27 page, so confirm each rate for your intake before you pay.

A closer look: 179 High Street

The university’s page for this residence gives the most detail. It sits between the Brayford Pool campus and Lincoln High Street, close to the city centre, though the page gives no walking distance.

Studio: £179 a week (£7,876 for the tenancy). There are 19 self-contained studios, one designed for students with disabilities.
Dates: the 2026/27 tenancy runs from 20 September 2026 to 25 July 2027.
Included: utility bills, high-speed Wi-Fi, contents insurance and gym membership.
Payment: a three-instalment plan is available (three payments of £1,892 for an en-suite).

The pages I checked do not say what is included at the other residences, state a deposit, or confirm an accommodation guarantee. Ask the Accommodation Services Team on 01522 886300 before assuming any of these. To apply, start from the Apply Now link and the How to Apply guide on the university’s accommodation pages. International applicants have their own accommodation pages.

University residence or private housing?

Question	University residence	Private flat or shared house
Bills	Included at 179 High Street; check the others	Varies, so ask what the tenancy includes
Contract	40 to 51 weeks, depending on the residence	Set by the landlord, so read the term and exit rules
Deposit	Not stated on the pages I checked	Usually required, and should be protected in an approved scheme
Location	Near the Brayford Pool campus and city centre	Test the journey at the times you will travel

I have not listed individual private blocks, because I could not verify their prices and availability against the operators’ own pages. If you rent privately, view the property or a verified video tour, ask for the landlord’s licence details where required and never pay before you have a written contract. Students commonly search in the city centre and the neighbourhoods around it. Treat any area as a search area rather than a recommendation, and check the commute to campus.
