Discover the best Lincoln Bishop University accommodation. Compare halls, the new Student Village, and private student housing near campus with bills included.
Moving away to study is a big step — and one of the first questions new students ask is: where am I going to live? For anyone attending Lincoln Bishop University (previously known as Bishop Grosseteste University), the choice of student accommodation plays a huge role in shaping your university experience.
With Lincoln Bishop’s campus based in the heart of Uphill Lincoln, right next to the Cathedral Quarter, students are spoiled for choice. From traditional halls of residence to the brand-new Student Village on Riseholme Road, as well as private student housing across the West End and Carholme Road, there are plenty of options to suit every lifestyle and budget.
This guide explores everything you need to know about Lincoln Bishop University accommodation — covering halls, private lets, contract lengths, bills, locations, and how to secure the right home for your studies.
In 2025, Bishop Grosseteste University officially rebranded as Lincoln Bishop University. While the name has changed, the friendly campus feel, strong academic record, and excellent student satisfaction remain the same.
The university’s Uphill location means most student housing is within easy walking distance of lectures, the library, and the social scene around Bailgate. The rebrand has also attracted more attention to the university, which means accommodation demand is higher than ever — another reason to start your housing search early.
For many first-year students, university halls are the first choice.
On-campus halls like Constance Stewart Hall offer a safe and supportive environment, ideal for meeting new people.
Rent usually includes bills (gas, electric, water, internet), and contracts often run in line with the academic year.
Halls are in the heart of campus, so you’re never far from lectures or the Students’ Union.
The only downside? Availability is limited, and demand from freshers is high. If you want to secure a place in halls, apply as soon as the accommodation portal opens.
One of the biggest developments for student living is the Student Village on Riseholme Road, just across from the main campus.
Purpose-built with modern en-suite rooms and shared facilities.
Flexible contracts, typically 40–52 weeks.
State-of-the-art communal spaces designed for socialising and study.
Location is unbeatable — just a short walk from lectures and Uphill Lincoln’s cafes, bars, and shops.
The Student Village is already proving popular with Lincoln Bishop students looking for high-quality, modern accommodation close to campus.
If halls or the Student Village aren’t right for you, Lincoln also offers a huge choice of private student accommodation.
At Student Housing Lincoln, we specialise in private student lets near Lincoln Bishop University. All of our houses come with bills included (gas, electricity, water, heating, internet, and even TV licences), so budgeting is simple.
Shared houses are popular for groups of friends — typically 3–6 bedrooms with communal kitchens and living spaces.
Flats and apartments are ideal for those who prefer more independence or want to live as a couple.
Studios offer maximum privacy but can be more expensive.
The key advantage of private housing is flexibility. You can choose exactly where you want to live, who you live with, and often find cheaper rents compared to university-owned halls.
Lincoln is a compact city, but location matters. Here are the most popular areas for Lincoln Bishop accommodation:
Uphill / Cathedral Quarter – closest to campus, scenic and historic, but often more expensive.
West End & Carholme Road – vibrant student areas, full of private lets and shared houses, about a 15-minute walk from campus.
Monks Road & East Lincoln – slightly further out, but often better value for money.
Wherever you choose, Lincoln’s size means you’re rarely more than a short walk, cycle, or bus ride away from university.
Costs vary depending on the type of housing you choose:
Halls of Residence: Higher weekly cost, but all bills included and lots of support.
Student Village: Premium prices for modern facilities and prime location.
Private Housing: More variety, often cheaper, but check if bills are included.
At Student Housing Lincoln, we ensure all utilities are included in your rent — no nasty surprises or stressful bills. That means students can focus on studying and enjoying Lincoln life.

Check contract lengths – halls may be 40 weeks, private lets often 51–52 weeks.
