If you are an international student arriving to take up a University Accommodation room, please ensure that you book and pay your Advance Rent Payment before arriving at University Accommodation.
To make sure your name is down for the halls you want to live in, you will need to make an advanced rent payment of £300, this works a little like a deposit and will be deducted from your final instalment of accommodation fees.
You can do this online via the login portal once you have accepted your Licence Agreement. If you arrive at campus and have not pre-booked your room in University Accommodation, please be advised we cannot accept cash payments on campus.
For your own security and safety, we recommend not walking around campus with large amounts of cash with you.
We welcome international students with families. However, please note that we do not offer family accommodation or support with childcare costs.
Which means that any student bringing partners and dependants will need to seek private accommodation. We strongly advise you to come on your own initially, to get used to the University and the area, life in the UK, and to find somewhere suitable for you and the family to live.
The Facilities Information Hub manage the student accommodation at all campuses across the University. We will assist you if you have any problems in the accommodation or if you are experiencing any difficulties with the people you live with.

With regards to what happens to your advanced rent payment, please click on the link below and follow the flow which applies to you:
Your first few weeks living away from home in University Accommodation will be an exciting time, with new places to discover, new people to meet and a new culture to explore. As well as excitement, if you have not spent a lot of time in the UK before, it is natural to experience culture shock as you adapt to the differences from your home country.
After the initial exhilaration of your arrival, you may at times feel homesick, anxious, or crave familiar surroundings. Understanding that you may experience these feelings will help you to overcome them and adapt to life in Wolverhampton.
Once you’ve arrived, the more you join in with University life, the more at home you are likely to feel. Here are some suggestions for settling in successfully:
- Orientation sessions in January and September, offering a range of events to help you settle in and meet other new students, including tours of the campus and city, and a range of social events.
- Remember that you are not alone. Everyone living in University accommodation will be going through similar experiences, and talking to other students will help you to adjust. It is important to take regular time out from your studies to do something social, perhaps a sport or an activity such as debating.
- Joining student societies can help you meet people who share you interests; There will be a Welcome Fair soon after the start of term at which you can sign up for societies, or you can contact them by email for more information on how to join.
- Integration is an ongoing process, so don’t put too much pressure on yourself during your first few days following your arrival. It is never too late to get involved in societies, social events, volunteering or almost anything else you would like to try!
There is always someone to offer advice: The University offers services of all ranges to provide support if you are finding adjusting to life in Wolverhampton difficult. https://www.wlv.ac.uk/university-life/accommodation/residential-life/support/

You may find UK culture very different to your home country. Some of the key features of British society you will encounter at University include:
- Men and women have equal rights in the UK.
- It is illegal to discriminate against anyone according to race, gender, age, class, sexual orientation or disability.
- The UK has a relatively liberal attitude towards alcohol, gambling and clothing style, but everyone in the UK is free to live by their own beliefs and you should not feel under pressure to adopt the behaviour or morals of UK students. It is common to order non-alcoholic drinks in a pub or bar.
- Punctuality is important in the UK and you will be expected to be on time for lectures and seminars. If you cannot arrive on time for an appointment (e.g. doctor’s visit, meetings), let the people you are meeting with know as soon as you can.
- You will be expected to read the written information you receive from the University, for example how to register and choose course units. It will not always be repeated face-to-face, so if there is ever anything you are not sure about, make sure to ask a member of staff.
Where to buy food and essential items
The cost of living in Wolverhampton is similar to most cities in the UK – apart from London which is a bit more expensive. As a student you will get to know where to shop and how to budget.
Prices are very different depending on where you shop and what products you buy. Supermarkets often have ‘own-label’ brands which are cheaper than more recognised brands. The shopping list below should give you an approximate idea of the cost of basic products in the UK from a supermarket.
Wolverhampton has a variety of major supermarkets including ASDA, Sainsbury’s and Tesco, cheaper supermarkets including Lidl and Aldi and premium supermarkets such as Waitrose and Marks & Spencer.

Other Purchases
The Accommodation Hub offer you the opportunity to purchase various items such as Bed Linen, towels and kitchen utensils via the Accommodation Online Shop. This will save room in your case’s for other items and will be in your room on arrival.
General Information
This section is designed to answer your questions about the practicalities of living away from home.
You can find out more about life in the UK by getting in touch through our social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Council Tax
Council Tax is a local government tax to pay for public services (such as street lighting) and the amount charged is determined by the value of your home. The majority of students will not need to pay council tax.
Full-time students registered for more than six months are exempt from Council Tax, as are students living in University Accommodation.
Electricity
British electricity works on 230 volts and most sockets take 13 amp fused plugs, with three square pins. If you will be bringing your own electrical equipment with you, make sure that it can be used safely on this voltage and find out whether you will need a UK adaptor.
Smoking
Smoking is not allowed in enclosed public spaces like restaurants, lecture theatres, public transport and all University accommodation, as well as some outdoor public spaces, such as bus stops and train stations. You may be fined if you smoke in these places, or anywhere else displaying a ‘No Smoking’ sign.
Television Licence
In the UK all televisions must be licensed. There are various ways to purchase a licence and the cost is £169.50 a year for a colour TV or £57.00 a year for a black and white TV. If you have a TV in your own room in accommodation you will have to purchase your own separate licence. Please consult the Television Licensing website for further information.
Toilets
British toilets are the flushing, pedestal type. Toilet paper should be flushed away after use. Separate facilities are usually available for disabled persons and for baby changing.
Weather
British weather has a bit of a reputation, but we do enjoy a good summer over here! Wolverhampton has a temperate climate, with few extremes. Average summer temperatures of 15°C (59°F) and winter temperatures of 4°C (39°F) are occasionally raised or lowered for a week or two.
Light rain falls on around half of the days of the year, which can make it feel colder in winter. Despite this, British weather can be unpredictable, and a rainy morning often turns in a beautiful, clear blue day. For accurate weather information please refer to the Met Office
Electoral Registration
Occupants are expected to make their own arrangements to register for voting purposes. An electoral role form can be collected from your campus’s main reception – don’t lose you’re right to vote!!
Litter
You can be fined on the spot if you are caught littering in public areas; this includes any type of material that you would normally consider as litter such as cig butts and cans but may also include urinating and spitting. You could be fined £75 for such an act and if you do not pay this you could end up in Court and be faced with a conviction and fine that could cost you up to £2,500. Please visit http://www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/environment/fixed-penalty-notice for more information.

Extending your visa
You may need to extend your visa because you have completed one course and want to start a new one, or because you have been unable to finish your present course for different reasons. Information on how to extend your visa is e-mailed regularly to all International students and is on the International Student Intranet.
