Emily Davies:|

Rooms at the Emily Davies Residence vary in price dependent upon the size of the room. Emily Davies is configured into flats for three or four people and is set aside for continuing and postgraduate students.

For a standard 48-week period of residence, the Emily Davies fees are:

  • small room = £46.55 per week
  • medium room = £56.00 per week
  • large room = £62.65 per week
  • extra large room = £78.40 per week (single occupancy)
  • extra large room = £39.20 per week (per person twin occupancy)

Please note that the fees for Emily Davies do not include the flat’s electricity costs. This is paid for by the residents directly via a key meter and is approximately £5 per person per week.

40-week contracts are also available at Emily Davies.

What the fees include

  • rent for the study-bedroom
  • all utility bills (except electricity at Emily Davies)
  • faster than broadband Internet access
  • cleaning of communal areas
  • accommodation during Christmas and Easter (so there’s no need to move your stuff out).
  • repairs and maintenance

Car parking

Parking can be reserved subject to availability. The costs, again, depend on how long you choose to live in the Residences.

Fees for 2007/08 are:

40 weeks – £350

48 weeks – £420

Please note: Car parking is refundable on a pro-rata, termly basis.

How to pay

 

Instalments

To make life easier, accommodation fees can be spread across the whole year and paid in either three equal instalments – normally October, January and April – or seven equal monthly instalments. Payment is made by direct debit.

All at once

If you prefer to get it out of the way, you can pay all your fees in one go before you get here or when you move in. To pay before you arrive, you can use a credit/debit card. To pay on arrival you can use a credit/debit card or you can pay in cash.

If you pay all your accommodation fees in one go you’ll receive a Quik Pay card entitling you to £110 worth of free food from any of restaurants or cafés on campus.

Please note: all students from outside the EU must pay their accommodation fees in FULL before they move into their room.

The final details of your fees and options for payment will be sent to you with your accommodation confirmation.

As part of the University’s access arrangements, these Residence fees include a discount for all students staying in our Student Residences in central Southampton, and whose tuition fees will be directly paid to Southampton Solent University.
