Accommodation
With more than 2,000 full-time students and only 180 places in halls, getting a place in halls can be a struggle. Having said that, with such a large number of mature and local students, few first years actually need or want to live in. No second or third years live in halls The three halls are within a few minutes’ walk of each other and the campus. Private accommodation is relatively easy to find within walking distance of campus and other student essentials – especially in the Newport area. In university there’s a full-time accommodation officer who provides a list of vacancies and approved landlords. Bishop Grosseteste also runs an open evening to introduce students and landlords – and the officers on hand to advise on tenant troubles. There are currently preliminary plans to revamp the current accommodation.
A new halls of residence 'Crosstrend House' just a short walk from the University, was revamped in the Summer of 2012, ready for the September 2012 new intake.
An extension to the Library (the cornerstone building) has recently been completed and has doubled study space available to students and incorporating Student Support services.
