Accommodation

The apartment block is exclusively for RCSI Bahrain students. All apartments have two bedrooms and so will be for two people sharing. The block is within a very short walking distance of the main gates of the RCSI campus (approx. three minutes) and allows easy access to the university. RCSI Bahrain will match students with room-mates as best we can, we can only allow sharing between students of the same gender.

We are also lucky that we have a wide range of apartment blocks perfectly suited to students and student life within walking distance of the main gates of the campus, understandably, this is where we would encourage students to stay.

A basic list of some of the apartment blocks in the nearby area is available below for your information. Of course, there are plenty of other residential areas that might also be suitable, depending on your budget and transport situation.

We know it’s not easy to arrange accommodation when you’re not in the country but there is certainly no shortage of space so don’t worry While many students have successfully arranged accommodation from abroad, many others wait until they arrive to do so, so that will be up to you.

Accommodation Sharing

Obviously, it would be more cost-effective to share accommodation with fellow students so here is a link to the room-mate registration form if you think that is something you would be interested in doing. Please note that except for the Halls of Residence, the University will not match students together but invites them to contact one another.
