Because it is a distance university, there is no campus hostel or accommodation arranged by the university. There are however Facebook groups for younger students to try and pool together for accommodation in their respective cities, but only if interested. Most do not.

I left my previous college due to mental health issues and poor support from the college. Because of said health issues, I wanted to remain close to family and friends and stay in a familiar environment rather than move across the country. The Open University allowed me to study from a distance, the comfort of my own home, and freed up enough time to pursue treatment and also other interests.
