Act early if you can

If you have any queries regarding accommodation availability and accommodation options, you can contact the Durham ISC Central Student Support Team who are available for any help or advice you may need.
Look out for fraud
Scammers may specifically target international students so it is important to be able to recognise common signs of fraudulent activity and know what to do if you come across it. Let us know at fraudreporting@studygroup.com if you have any concerns about fraudulent activity when dealing with a private accommodation provider so that we can help to protect you and other international students in case they are targeted in the same way.

Arranging your own accommodation privately

It is important that you let us know where you are staying and there is a requirement that you live less than 60 minutes away from the International Study Centre at Queen’s Campus.
Please also refer to our 'Look out for fraud' section, which highlights the potential risks of booking accommodation privately.
