What we offer
Finding the right place to live when you are moving to university can make all the difference.
At CODE Fairfax Street, Coventry, we welcome students to live with us from all years. But we really understand what first-year students really need: independence, community, support, and the right environment to thrive.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Patrick, University of Warwick, Undergraduate first year
"The staff, the countless activities CODE holds, and the quality of the rooms and facilities like the gym just make life so much easier. And the peacefulness—I could go on and on!"

Why CODE is perfect for first years
Our top 6 reasons:
1. Private city-living from day one
We offer first-year, University of Warwick students the chance to live in their own rooms at CODE Fairfax Street – giving you your own private space right from the start, in the heart of the city centre.
You’ll have the choice of:
Studios: with your own bathroom and kitchen
1 Bedroom Apartments: BRAND NEW FOR SEPT 2026 your own bedroom and bathroom, separate lounge and kitchen and utility room.
2 Bedroom Apartments: BRAND NEW FOR SEPT 2026 everything provided in our 1 bedroom apartment but with the chance to share with a friend (both rooms must be booked at the same time).
It’s perfect for anyone who values their own space but still wants to be part of a buzzing, friendly student community.
Moving to a new city can be daunting – but we make it easy to meet people and make new friends.
At CODE Fairfax Street, we run regular free events all year round, giving you countless chances to connect with others.
From mocktail making nights and BBQ parties, to crafts or wellness activities, there's always something going on.
These events aren’t just fun – they’re designed to help students feel included, supported and at home from day one.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Priya, University of Warwick Undergraduate first year
"The events always are fun and freebies are always appreciated. It is nice when you are feeling stressed and can have your own space but then go socialise with your friends later in the communal. The events mean that you still make friends even if you live alone."
3. Staff support you can count on
We know first-year students sometimes need a little extra help adjusting – and we’re always here when you need us.
Our on-site CODE team are available every single day of the year, including weekends and holidays, 24 hours a day.
Whether it’s a maintenance issue, a question about your tenancy, or just a chat – someone is always close by to help.
With 24/7 security and CCTV throughout the site too, you can be sure you are being looked after.
4. Well-being is our priority
We take your well-being seriously.
Our office staff, security and parcel staff are all trained Mental Health First Aiders, so are qualified to check in with you and make sure you are doing okay.
If you need a little more support we can do weekly well-being (welfare) checks, whether that is a phone call, email or visit. Or we can signpost you to other mental health support.
We’re here to support you emotionally and mentally throughout your time at university.
5. Move in for Year 1 and never move out!
When your first year is up, most student accommodations will ask you to move out. Not at CODE. We encourage all of our students to stay with us for their entire time at the University of Warwick.
If you want to stay in your room for the whole 3 years (or even more!) – you can.
You can even stay over the summer if you book the same room! There’s no need to pack up and move, giving you complete flexibility and peace of mind.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rani, University of Warwick Undergraduate first year
"I love having my own space without having to move my stuff out over summer"
7. Direct uni campus bus just next door!
We're just a 30 second walk to the bus station where you can catch a bus that goes directly to the university campus 🚍 Buses run every 7 minutes. ⏲️ You'll get to the university in around 17 minutes 🚏 After a long day of studying, you'll get dropped off right outside our building.
Absolutely! Because we're a private accommodation provider, we can offer you a room straight away. You don't have to meet any criteria and you don't have to wait for your accommodation application to be considered. Just book a room, and its yours!
Yes, our website shows live availability, so you'll always know what rooms we have available. We welcome all students who have joined their university via Clearing, and in fact hundreds of 1st year students choose to live at CODE.
We actually think private halls are better for these 3 reasons:
1. Uni accommodation teams often take DAYS to confirm if you've got a room. But at CODE, you can book your room in minutes.
2. Universities talk about guaranteed accommodation places... but that doesn't always mean uni-owned halls. So by booking direct with CODE you know who you're dealing with and can see reviews from students who already live with us. So, you can book with confidence.
3. In uni halls you might not get the room you want. But here, we’ll help you pick a specific studio to fit your budget and we could even show you your actual room on our virtual tours.
It's as simple as finding a room you like on our website and booking it! But we also know you might need a bit more support, which is why our friendly team is on hand to talk you through everything!
Start looking for accommodation as soon as your place is verbally confirmed. If you’re joining CODE through Clearing, we can find and get you booked into a room in minutes!
There is no single accommodation website that is best for everyone. The good thing about CODE is you get to explore different room options. If you are comparing us with other providers consider our great location and the amazing facilities you get for a very affordable price.
