Accommodation for XJTLU Students - 2+2 & Taicang Campus

With approximately 4,400 student rooms in our popular student village and on-campus residences, we believe that staying with us gives XJTLU students the perfect base for studying and enjoying everything Liverpool has to offer.

Our residences provide more than a place to sleep. They are lively, friendly communities with great facilities ranging from café’s to libraries. Why not take a look around using our virtual open day.

By living in University accommodation, you can also take advantage of discounted membership to the campus Sports and Fitness Centre, and up to 75% off trips organised through the “give it a go” programme at the Liverpool Guild of Students.

Specifically trained Residential Advisers live in our accommodation, and are are able to deal with any concerns and will be the first point of contact for any incidents or emergencies. They are also there to assist and advise on matters such as feeling home sick or study/revision advice.

As all of our accommodation is supported in partnership with Xian Jiaotong-Liverpool University, we want our students to succeed – and we understand that having a comfortable place to live is a big part of that.
