We know that deciding where to live after first year is a big decision that you want to do right. That’s what LUSU Living is here for. 

In your first year of uni, you’re probably staying in campus accommodation owned by the uni. But after that, you’ll often find that you have to search for accommodation in town with other student housing providers. 

Finding accommodation for your second year of university and beyond can be a pretty daunting experience. But it doesn’t have to be – and that’s where we come in. 

LUSU owns and operates LUSU Living, which manages and lets a ton of accredited Lancaster University student properties, and our aim is to provide you a quality service with plenty of support.

What Do We Do?

It’s pretty simple: LUSU Living offers students great places to live.

Being for the students - we strive to offer you the most affordable, reasonable rent prices, fair contracts, and all the support you need throughout your time with us.
