Our Falmouth student accommodation, Henry Scott Tuke House, is located on Quarry Hill, close to the town centre. Its prime location places you at the heart of the action, just a short walk to the Falmouth campus and all sorts of shopping, dining and entertainment options.

Securing your accommodation should be a top priority as soon as your place at Falmouth University is confirmed. Given the limited availability of student housing in Falmouth, it's advisable to book as early as possible to ensure you secure a spot that meets your preferences. 

For second- or third-year students, we recommend booking at least six months before the term starts to avoid the last-minute rush and potential disappointment.

For those looking to live with friends, early booking is key. If you book early enough and there’s sufficient space available, you should be able to stay with friends. 

We recommend making early arrangements and mentioning each other in your applications to increase the likelihood of you being placed together. However, since we manage the property and not the bookings for Falmouth University, we cannot always guarantee you’ll be placed with your friends.
