Glasney Student Village (Catered)

Single Occupancy

Rooms are en-suite with either a double bed or single studybed. These have a wardrobe, drawers, chair and desk. 

Shared Occupancy

Rooms are en-suite with two single studybeds to offer a more affordable option. These are furnished with two wardrobes and shelves. 

Studybeds rotate between two functions, acting alternatively as a single bed and a large desk area; the innovative design means there is no need to clear the desk before rotating to the bed function. 

Food

Our catered accommodation can make planning meals and budgeting easier as meals are included in your accommodation fee. The catered option includes breakfast and dinner, Monday to Friday in the Stannary (10 meals a week) for 36 weeks of the 40-week contract. Catering for two weeks during the Christmas and Easter break is excluded.

Further information on catered halls including sample menus, meal times and what's included can be found in the Catered Halls Brochure for Penryn or on the Cornwall Catered Halls page.

Your flat will still have a kitchen to use at the weekends or whenever you wish.  You will also live with other catered students so you can dine out together.  

To apply for this option, select Glasney Student Village and the ‘catered option’ when making your application in Room Service.

Several rooms in Glasney Student Village can be adapted for students with accessibility requirements.

They have an enlarged ‘wet room’ style bathroom, for wheelchair access, and grabrails fitted - which can be relocated to suit individual needs.

The rooms have also been adapted to connect to a pillow vibration alarm (for hearing difficulties) and/or a pull-chord alarm to the alarm systems, as required.

If you are living with a disability or health condition that requires consideration or adjustments with regards to staying in our accommodation, please complete the ‘Accessibility Questionnaire’ at the end of the application on Room Service (the accommodation application portal).  

You will be asked to provide medical evidence to the Accessibility Team to support your condition and request. The Accessibility Team will then review your case to ensure you have the right support in place and liaise with the Accommodation Team regarding any accommodation needs, they have approved.  

We're happy to discuss individual requirements with students who have disabilities, and we encourage you to contact the Accommodation Office and the Accessibility Team at an early stage so we can make sure we consider your needs when allocating rooms.

Whilst we endeavour to make reasonable adjustments to support individuals who, due to a disability, a long-term medical condition or sensory or physical impairment require adapted accommodation. We are unable to guarantee we can offer suitable accommodation as this is subject to availability.  

There is no parking available at any of our residences (except for Blue Badge holders) and students are strongly discouraged from bringing a car to University unless it is essential.
