Frequently Asked Questions

For students who want their own private studio in central Coventry, we think CODE measures up pretty well! 

Rooms: Your Deluxe Studio has its own kitchen and designer bathroom, double bed, study area, storage and 32-inch TV, plus free high-speed broadband. The current £164 per week starting price is for the Deluxe Studio. We recommend going to a Skyline Deluxe Studios (£184), for better views and more natural light.

Facilities: You also have access to CODE's gym, cinema, study and communal spaces, outdoor areas, 24/7 security and regular social and wellbeing activities. 

Location: The CODE Fairfax Street building is just 150m from Coventry University and right next door to the bus station to catch the direct bus to University of Warwick every 7 minutes!

In short: if you value privacy, location, facilities and having your own kitchen and bathroom, CODE offers considerably more than simply a room in student halls.
