Relocating to a new city or country can feel overwhelming and exciting at the same time, especially when it’s your first time living independently.

At Vita Student, we understand the challenges that prospective students like yourself face.

That’s why we go above and beyond to create a warm, welcoming environment for our students joining us from across the globe.

Whether through our award-winning service, community-focused events, or the international friendships you’ll make, trust us when we say that living at Vita Student will shape your university life and beyond.

If all that sounds good to you, read on to find out how Vita Student creates an inclusive, friendly atmosphere and why it’s the perfect place to be at university.

A welcoming community from day one

At Vita Student, inclusivity isn’t just a buzzword. As soon as you book your room, you’re part of it. A welcoming international community awaits.

Within 48 hours of booking, a dedicated team member reaches out to help guide you through every step of your journey to Vita.

Have questions about moving in? We’re here to help, whenever you need it.

When you arrive, our Residence Teams make sure you feel at home from the moment you walk through the doors.

The first month is all about helping you settle in, with city orientations and bike tours (sometimes even boat tours!) to familiarise you with your new surroundings.

Our “meet & greet” evenings are perfect for breaking the ice with your fellow residents—students from all over the world who are just as eager to make friends as you are.

Supportive Services for International Students

For many international students, moving abroad for university can feel daunting. It’s a big step to start a new life in a new place.

That’s why we’ve put systems in place to ensure the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Before you even arrive, you can book a virtual tour of our rooms and facilities so that you know exactly what to expect.

Plus, our secure payment system, TransferMate, takes the hassle and stress out of making your payments.

No UK guarantor? No problem.

You can book your room without one, and if your visa or university application is declined for any reason, you can cancel your room for free.
