5 ELIGIBILITY QMUL residences are extremely popular, not everyone who applies gets a place. Please read our current Housing Policy carefully, which can be found at: QUESTION ONE Will you be a new full-time applicant to QMUL who has not lived in a QMUL residence before, who has applied by the relevant deadline? QUESTION TWO Is your home too far from Queen Mary to commute daily? Please note priority is given to applicants who do not have a Greater London postcode. Applicants who do have a Greater London postcode will be automatically rejected and placed onto a waiting list for mid-term vacancies, after our commitment has been met to house applicants living outside Greater London. If you meet both of the above criteria you are likely to be offered a place in residences. Rooms are allocated on a first come, first serve basis on date of application, so the earlier you apply the better. Once you accept your place to study at QMUL, the Admissions Office will send you login details to apply for halls. FURTHER INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE If you have any queries contact Housing Services by to [email protected] The answer to most queries can be found at: The website also has extensive information regarding alternative housing options including private renting, private halls of residence, homestay and short stay.
