The Green
The Green is the centre of student life here at Bradford. It is the accommodation recommended by the University of Bradford to our students.
The Green is just a few minutes from the Students' Union, the library and your morning lectures. It is also just a short walk away from the city centre and other local attractions. This makes it the perfect place to call home during your time at university.
Living at The Green means you'll be a part of a close-knit community. The Site Team and our Student Wardens organise social events, trips, competitions and games on and off site – so you'll have plenty of opportunities to meet new people and make lots of friends.
Applying to The Green
If you would like to live in university recommended halls, it is best to apply as soon as possible to avoid disappointment in your choice of room type. We accept applications from all year groups (returning students and new students) including postgraduate and PhD students. These groups are not mixed and if you are a new student, you will be grouped with new students.
Visit the Homes for Students website to secure your accommodation.
