Why I chose the £500 accommodation discount
Once you have accepted your offer to study here at the University of Northampton, full-time UK students are guaranteed one of the three exclusive perks to support you whilst settling into the next step of your academic journey, I personally selected the £500 discount on accommodation as my student perk, as it best suited my needs as a first-year University student. I was actually able to gain money on my maintenance loan to afford necessities, despite expecting to lose money overall, improving my experience as money was not a particular issue.

An advantage to saving money on your accommodation is that it makes the Waterside Student Halls some of the cheapest on-campus university accommodation in the country, which is especially impressive considering the campus is only 6 years old.
