What is the University of London?

Founded by Royal Charter in 1836, the University of London is one of the oldest and largest universities in the UK and is a federation of over 40 institutions of varying size and academic profile. Some are large multi-faculty Colleges and others are small specialist Institutes. The University houses aprroximately 30% of its full time students in University Halls of Residence. Approximately 42% of the student population is accommodated in the private sector. It is believed that the remaining numbers stay at home or acquire their own properties. The figures above will give you some idea of the shortage of University owned accommodation and therefore how important and helpful it is to students when landlords offer their accommodation to the University.
