Student accommodation in Coventry: rent, Coventry Uni and Warwick
Coventry houses students from two very different universities: Coventry University in the city centre and the University of Warwick on the city's south west edge. Rooms on our Coventry pages start at around £90 a week, among the lowest of any big student city we cover. Pick your campus before your room.
How much does it cost to live in Coventry as a student?
Coventry rents run low by UK standards, especially near the city centre. Read on for average rent, the cheapest rooms, city centre prices, living costs, upfront payments and the dearer studios near Warwick.
Average student rent in Coventry
Coventry's middle rent sits at around £175 a week, and half of all contracts we list fall between about £155 and £225. En-suites mostly cost about £100 to £200, and Warwick studios cost more. Across a 48 week contract, a mid priced room comes to roughly £8,400.
Rooms under £100 in Coventry
Coventry still has rooms under £100 a week, mostly basic en-suites in larger flats close to the city centre. The Apollo Works on Alma Street has offered some of the lowest rates on our pages, with a 12.5 square metre en-suite. Longer contracts there have meant a lower weekly price.
City centre rooms near Coventry University
Living in Coventry city centre does not cost much extra. Many en-suites near Corporation Street, Gas Street and Market Way start from around £100 to £130 a week, a short walk from Coventry University and the shops. Newer blocks with gyms and cinema rooms charge more.
Budgeting beyond rent in Coventry
On top of rent, plan for food, a bus pass if you study at Warwick, a phone contract, books and nights out. Warwick students living in the city often spend more on travel than on extras. International students should check the current UK visa living cost figure on gov.uk.
Money to pay before moving in
Upfront payments on our Coventry pages range from around £100 to £250 as a deposit or advance rent, and some studios ask for two weeks of rent up front. Ask if the sum comes back at the end or counts towards rent, and when the first instalment falls due.
Top end studios near Warwick
Coventry's dearest studios sit near the University of Warwick, around Cannon Park, from around £380 a week to nearly £600 for the largest. Vita Student Warwick Cannon Park is one example, with king size beds in its bigger studios. Advance rent there can equal two weeks of rent.
How much does it cost to stay near Coventry University?
Coventry University's main campus is on Priory Street, right in the centre, so most of its students live within a mile. Here we look at the campus, Spon End, Far Gosford Street, Corporation Street, international students and City College.
Priory Street, the main campus
Coventry University gives Priory Street, right in the centre, as its main address, and the university puts it 15 to 20 minutes on foot from Coventry railway station. Most private student properties we list sit within a mile of the campus, so many students never need a bus. Check where your faculty building is.
Spon End, west of the ring road
Spon End, just west of the ring road, holds the largest group of student properties on our Coventry pages. It sits a short walk from Priory Street, with the old Spon Street buildings nearby. Rents here are among the lowest in the city, and the shops are close.
Far Gosford Street and Stoke
East of the centre, Far Gosford Street runs into Stoke, an area of bars, cafes and student flats about a fifteen minute walk from Priory Street. It suits students who want a livelier street of their own with lower rents than the newest central blocks. Check the walk home at night.
Corporation Street and Market Way
Corporation Street, Gas Street and Market Way hold a cluster of purpose built student buildings right beside the shops and the bus station. Rooms here range from en-suites in seven bed flats to small studios. It is the shortest walk to Coventry University for most courses.
International students at Coventry University
Coventry University has a large international intake, and many blocks near the campus offer contracts that start in January or September to match its intakes. Ask if the provider accepts a UK guarantor service or rent paid in advance, and check the contract dates against your visa.
City College Coventry students
City College Coventry sits on Swanswell Street, just north of the city centre, so central properties work well for its students too. Some Far Gosford Street and city centre blocks name the college as nearby. Check age rules first, as some student properties only take students over 18.
Which parts of Coventry suit University of Warwick students?
The University of Warwick lies on the south west edge of Coventry, with Kenilworth and Leamington Spa on the other side. Below, you will find Canley, Cannon Park, Earlsdon, the campus buses and the towns further out.
Where the Warwick campus sits
The University of Warwick sits on the edge of Coventry, about three miles south west of the city centre, with Kenilworth as the nearest town. Warwick measures off campus areas from its central bus interchange, so use that point when you compare journey times. Most students live off campus after first year.
Canley, walking distance to campus
Warwick describes Canley as within walking distance of campus and suited to a slightly quieter way of life. It sits about two miles from the bus interchange, with National Express route 11 linking it to campus. Rooms here suit students who want to walk most days.
Cannon Park shops and studios
Cannon Park Shopping Centre sits a five to ten minute walk from campus, the university says, and newer studio buildings stand close by. Rents here are the highest near Warwick, but you skip most bus fares. The Stagecoach 60 runs to Coventry via Cannon Park Shops.
Earlsdon for city life
Earlsdon, about four miles from campus by Warwick's measure, sits on the 11 bus route between the university and Coventry city centre. It has its own high street of cafes and pubs. It suits students who want a town feel and the campus within one bus.
Buses between Coventry and campus
Warwick's campus bus page lists the 11 to Earlsdon and Coventry via Westwood, the 12X to Coventry railway station, the 14 to Tile Hill station and the Stagecoach 60 via Cannon Park. Stops differ between the interchange and other points, so check yours before you sign.
Kenilworth and Leamington Spa
Kenilworth, about three miles from the interchange, is a separate market town with its own station and quieter streets. Leamington Spa lies further out, linked to campus by the U1. Both suit students who prefer a town base, but time the bus at peak hours before you book.
Which Coventry room type suits your year?
Coventry has some of the lowest studio prices on our pages, plus flats with only two or three people sharing. You can read about studio prices, high floor studios, small flats, two bed apartments, couples and January or short stays below.
Studios from around £125 a week
Coventry studios start at around £125 a week, low for a UK city. Market Way, close to the shops, has offered a double studio with its own shower room and kitchenette at that level. Small studios like this suit students who want privacy without a big rent.
High floor studios on Parkside
Some Coventry studio blocks rise to 18 floors along Parkside, near Coventry University. Upper floor studios add space, king size beds and views, and cost from around £330 to £400 a week. Check the floor in writing, as the same block can vary widely in price.
Flats with fewer people sharing
If you dislike crowded kitchens, look for flats of two or three. In Coventry, some blocks put their better graded rooms in three bed flats, and the top grade may share with only one other person. iQ Weaver Place on Bishop Street is one example. Expect to pay more for the quiet.
Two bed apartments in Coventry
Two bed apartments give each person a bedroom, sometimes with a double bed and en-suite, around a shared kitchen. In Coventry they often cost less than a city centre studio. Check if the rent is per person or per flat, and if you each sign your own contract.
Sharing a Coventry studio as a couple
A few Coventry properties allow dual occupancy in their studios or one bed apartments. Corporation Village on Corporation Street is one that has listed it on its studios with a double bed and kitchenette. Ask what a second person adds and get the answer in writing.
January intakes and short stays
Coventry University's January intake means several blocks offer contracts from January to late August, usually around 32 or 33 weeks. Short autumn stays of about ten weeks and summer stays of a few weeks also come up. Weekly rates on these can be a little higher than a full year.
