For those wishing to find their own accommodation off-campus, there are plenty of small hotels in the area. It is recommended that you limit yourself to the following locations:

Coventry: the city in which campus is built. Accommodation here is likely to be cheaper than elsewhere. Transport links are good, but be sure to book accommodation on the main bus route (National Express 11/12) between campus and the city centre. This effectively limits your choice of areas to Canley (residential; walking distance), Earlsdon (self-contained suburb with high street; 15 minutes by bus), and the city centre (more likely to have cheap accommodation; 20-30 minutes by bus).

Kenilworth: small, pretty market town near campus. Generally more expensive than Coventry. Lovely park and historic castle. The bus to campus (National Express 11) takes around 15 minutes. There is also a beautiful walking route through the nature reserve and countryside that takes 30-40 minutes.

Leamington Spa: small spa town approximately 7 miles from campus that is home to the majority of off-campus students. Beautiful Georgian houses and shopfronts; upmarket bars, cafes and restaurants. The buses to campus (National Express 11; Stagecoach U1/U2/U12) can take anything from 20 to 40 minutes depending on the day and time, but Stagecoach buses are generally quicker.

Stay with a gradute student: This year, we are also able to offer to prospective delegates a limited amount of accommodation with graduate students at the department. We must emphasise that accommodation is limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please contact us at mindgrad dot 15 at gmail dot com if you’d like to take us up on that offer.
