Q: I would rather view the accommodation available to me before I sign a contract. Do you have any temporary accommodation?

A: There are many guest houses available in Lincoln. Many of our international students choose to book into a guest house for two to three days when they arrive at the University. We have an expert team of advisers which will help you to arrange viewings of different types of accommodation available and advise you of the most suitable accommodation to your needs.

A: All resident students are responsible for their own guests, in respect of security, disturbance and damage.
