Edge Hill University has UK's best student accommodation

And for the second consecutive year the University has also been named Best Value for Money in the National Student Housing Awards.

The University was also declared top-three for Best Moving In Experience. All awards were decided by the overall satisfaction and ratings based on feedback from students in the National Student Housing Survey.

Kate McAdam, Head of Accommodation Services at Edge Hill, said: “It’s fantastic that we’ve been named as having the best University accommodation in the UK and Ireland.

“We’re always striving to provide the best accommodation in terms of design and facilities for the best price possible. To win this award for the second time means we’re achieving that goal.”

She added: “We know how daunting it is for many new students to be living away from home for the first time so the staff and students at the University go out of their way to make their moving in experience stress-free and fun.

“The fact these awards are voted for by students with no nominations or judges makes them all the more special and recognises the hard work we put into our accommodation.”
