According to the Guardian University Guide 2018, University of Portsmouth is the 37th best University in the UK. Its campus houses sports pitches and student homes under the university's management and supervision. The student flats at Langstone, off Locksway Road, are to be closed in summer this year. This 600-bed accommodation hosts both undergraduate and post-graduate students and it had shared flats and independent ones too.

UoP, that invested around £150 million in their buildings and resources over the last 10 years, works closely with other popular student accommodation providers to ensure that their students get the best accommodation there is, considering that the number of purpose-built student accommodation is in the rise.

A spokesman said: ‘The student accommodation at Langstone campus will be closing in summer 2018. ‘The increased availability of more popular student accommodation in the city centre near to the university campus means that the university provision in Langstone is no longer viable.’
