What Is Clearing and Why Accommodation Matters
Clearing is a vital opportunity for students who either didn’t receive their expected results or decided to change universities at the last moment. It can feel overwhelming, but there’s one critical piece that often gets overlooked amid the rush: finding the right accommodation.
Your choice of housing can shape your entire student experience. Comfort, safety, affordability—they all matter. And when you’re making fast decisions during Clearing, being informed is your best ally.
Meet Emma: A Liverpool Student’s Clearing Experience
Emma had her heart set on another university, but results day took her on a different path. Through Clearing, she landed a place at the University of Liverpool. While thrilled, the stress of finding accommodation hit immediately.

After some research and virtual tours, she found Deen House —a place that felt like more than just a room. With supportive staff, a central location, and all-inclusive rent, it eased her transition to university life.
