Wellbeing support
With Kaplan Living you’ll have all you need to live independently, but if you need help, we’ll be here for you. Reception and wellbeing teams are on hand 24/7 and you’ll have access to a confidential advice line.
For students who would like a little extra support, we offer an enhanced package at some of our residences for a small fee. Kaplan Living Special Support offers access to live-in Wellbeing Co-ordinators and more.
You’ll also have access to Kaplan’s Resilience in Practice. Included at no extra cost, this flexible digital programme uses science-informed practices to help you manage stress, understand your emotions and build skills for life. Learn more on our support page.

Modern accommodation in convenient central locations
All our residences are just for students. We’ve chosen locations that are close to amenities like supermarkets, cafés and bars, and never more than a short journey to your college or university — in many cases, you’ll find it’s within walking distance.
Ensuite rooms and studio flats
Your room will be bright and modern, with a comfortable bed, study desk and storage space. All rooms also have an ensuite bathroom so you’ll have the privacy you need. You can choose a shared kitchen where you can socialise with your flatmates, or opt for a private kitchen in a studio flat.
Premium social and study facilities
With us, you’ll have more than just a place to sleep. You’ll have access to facilities like study rooms where you can work alone or on group projects, and great social spaces where you can relax with your new friends. Typical facilities include a TV, video game consoles or table-top games like ping pong and pool.
Students in college accommodation do better
We studied the outcomes of Kaplan Pathways students who book through us versus those in privately arranged accommodation. We found that students in college accommodation enjoyed:
- Higher pass rates
- Higher progression rates
- Higher completion rates*
