Why choose Portsmouth?

 

Don't be put off by the city centre’s island location or small(ish) size. This is as far from 'remote coastal outpost' as you can get!

Portsmouth is a city to entertain you, whether you want a good meal out, a boutique shopping experience, time on the history trail, or just the chance to do nothing in the sun on Southsea Common. And going for student housing in Portsmouth means you get to hang out at the Pyramids Centre: a top spot for music, comedy and sports.

Combine that with bars, restaurants, cafes, and all your favourite high-street stores, and you've got just the right combo of atmosphere, heritage and a 21st-century student experience!

Room types

 

Catherine House is our student accommodation in Portsmouth and it's right in the city centre, so everything you need is virtually on your doorstep!

If you're the sociable type, choose our flat-share option: an ensuite room in a four to six-bed apartment. Or for more privacy, there are studios available too, in various sizes, as well as one-bed flats with incredible views. In fact, they're some of the best student housing in Portsmouth but they sell out fast, so let us know fast if you’re interested!

Or, if you're the kind of person who likes the best of the best, check out our penthouse studio apartments, a far cry from your average student halls!

Amenities

 

We’re committed to making your stay at uni as comfortable as possible. That's why we give you plenty of choice when it comes to student accommodation. But we also make sure your social life is happy too with regular events to help you get to know people. There's also a games area and our stunning Sky Lounge, with its amazing views. Use it as a study space or somewhere to chill as the sun goes down. Just make sure you use it, because it needs to be seen to be believed!

Student accommodation in Portsmouth pops up in locations across the city, but not all of them are as convenient as ours. Catherine House is very central, close to Portsmouth & Southsea train station and the Cascade shopping centre.

The University of Portsmouth is only a seven-minute stroll away, and the University of Portsmouth Dental Academy is just a few minutes more.
