Austen House

Austen House - Southampton Student Accommodation
Austen House is conveniently located in Southampton’s city centre. Whether you’re an undergraduate or a postgraduate, we’ve got a room option that will suit you down to the ground (more about that below). The Southampton Solent University campus is just a 10-minute stroll from our complex, and University of Southampton is a quick bus ride away. Whichever one you’re studying at, Austen House puts you within easy reach. Extra-curricular fun is right on your doorstep too. The enormous Westquay shopping centre is within walking distance, there are countless great bars and restaurants dotted around the vicinity, and the city’s parks (Palmerston, Houndwell and Hoglands) are a stone’s throw away. Anyway, here’s some info about Austen House itself.

Your Room Options
-An en-suite room in a 4 or 5-bed shared flat – ideal if you want to socialise a lot and make new friends right away

-A studio, which you’ll have all to yourself!
You’ll get a double bed no matter which option you choose, so you can always get a good night’s rest when you need it (before an exam, after a night out, or whenever).
