Wrexham University’s on-campus Wrexham Student Village costs from £132.50 a week for a single en suite to £190 for a double en suite on single occupancy in 2026/27, with all bills and unlimited Wi-Fi included. The page I read does not state a guarantee. Priority goes to first-year full-time students who have never studied at Wrexham, live too far to commute, or have particular needs. This guide covers rents, contract options, how allocation works and what to check before you book.
Prices come from Wrexham University’s accommodation page. It does not name the academic year, but its contract dates (18 September 2026 to 26 June 2027) match 2026/27. I could not verify prices for private lets, so none are listed.
Wrexham Student Village rooms and rents (2026/27)
According to the university’s student accommodation page:
| Room type | Weekly price | Bed size |
|---|---|---|
| Single en suite (including accessible rooms) | £132.50 | 90cm x 190cm |
| Single Plus en suite | £140.00 | 120cm x 190cm |
| Double en suite, shared by two | £95.00 each | Double or two singles |
| Double en suite, single occupancy | £190.00 | 135cm x 190cm |
Shared double rooms are only allocated to students who already know each other. The village has 248 standard single en suites, 69 Single Plus rooms and only four doubles, so the double rooms are scarce. The page lists all bills and unlimited Wi-Fi as included. Our guide to university halls versus private student housing explains how halls compare with private options.

How allocation works and discounts
- Applications open in March for the following academic year and are processed in June and July. E-contracts are issued in August, and you must accept within the period stated in your offer email.
- Priority goes to first-year, full-time students who have never studied at Wrexham University, live too far to commute, or have particular social or physical needs. Returning students can apply for surplus rooms.
- Applications after mid-August are considered only for rooms still available, and September applications are less likely to be allocated a room.
The university’s accommodation offers page lists limited discounts on accommodation fees for 2026/27. They include 25% for care leavers or students estranged from their parents, 25% in the first year for new students from Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland or the Isle of Man, 5% for international students, and 5% for anyone paying in full when accepting a room, with a minimum 40-week stay. All offers are first come, first served and subject to conditions.
Private and shared options
Returning students and anyone who misses a room in the village usually rent shared houses or flats privately. I could not verify prices for individual buildings, so compare each landlord’s total cost, bills and contract length, and ask whether the deposit is protected.
What to check before you book
- Which contract suits your course dates, and the £250 prepayment terms.
- That a room is not guaranteed, so apply as soon as applications open.
- Whether you qualify for a discount, and that discounts exclude the initial prepayment.
- Safety basics. See our student accommodation safety guide and checklist.
