The university provides accommodation for all first-year students who require it and places in residences are available for international and MSc students. Accommodation may be catered, self-catered, have en-suite facilities, a sink in the room, or access to communal bathroom facilities. Each hall has a [[Common Room (university)#Southampton|Junior Common Room (JCR) committee]] that is responsible for the running of social events and representing the residents to the students union and the university via the Students union JCR officer.

The university's accommodation exists around two large complexes of halls and some other small halls located around the city. These are:

* '''Glen Eyre Complex''': The complex lies less than half a mile to the north of Highfield Campus and houses approximately 2,000 students. The complex consists of several building sets, designed over the years and arranged either around the central landscaped garden – the oldest buildings, Richard Newitt Courts are separated into blocks A-G and are closest to the Glen Bar, students in these blocks have very small flats (between 4 and 6 to a kitchen with usually more than one bathroom). Old Terrace and New Terrace are close to the site's entrance, New Terrace has ensuite rooms. Chancellors' courts, consisting of Selbourne, Jellicoe and Roll courts are the most modern blocks in the accommodation with Brunei house, the most basic of accommodations, on the outskirts. Located on the south side of Glen Eyre Road on the periphery of the site are Chamberlain Halls, which share most things with the main Glen Eyre site. This site consists of Hartley Grove, South Hill, Beechmount House and the Chamberlain blocks. All Glen Eyre Halls are self-catered at present.
* '''[[Wessex Lane Halls]]''': Located in [[Swaythling]] approximately one mile east of the Highfield Campus.  The complex provides accommodation for over 1,800 students and currently comprises two halls of residence: Montefiore and [[Connaught Hall, Southampton|Connaught]]. Connaught Halls are fully catered. The complex also features [[South Stoneham House]], a period building constructed in 1708.
* '''City Gateway Hall''': Located in [[Swaythling]] one mile north-east of the Highfield Campus at the intersection of two major roads. Opened in September 2015, the landmark building was included in the runners-up list of the 2015 [[Carbuncle Cup]]. Featuring a 15-story elliptical tower and two adjoining six-story rectangular accommodation blocks the hall provides accommodation for up to 375 students.<ref>{{cite news|title=London's Walkie Talkie judged UK's worst building|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-34116610|access-date=2 September 2015|agency=BBC News Online|publisher=BBC|date=2 September 2015}}</ref><ref name="New Student Accommodation 2012">{{cite web|title=Student Residential Accommodation|url=http://www.southampton.ac.uk/estatedevelopment/projects/Studentresidences/|work=Estate Development|publisher=University of Southampton|access-date=24 June 2013}}</ref><ref name="City Gateway">{{cite news|title=Student Residential Accommodation|work=BBC News|date=2 October 2014|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-29458857|access-date=12 December 2014}}</ref>
* '''Mayflower Halls''': Located in the city centre within the city's 'Cultural Quarter', and two minutes' walk away from Southampton Central railway station. The hall opened at the start of the 2014/2015 academic year, and houses over 1,100 students in a mix of rooms. It includes a gym which is available to both residents and the public.
* '''Archers Road''': Lying two miles south of Highfield and housing 500 students, Archers Road compromises two halls on separate sites. The two halls, Gateley and Romero, are all self-contained and self-catered but share a reception and other community facilities.
* '''Highfield Halls''': Located adjacent to Avenue Campus and half a mile from Highfield campus. Highfield Halls comprises Aubrey and Wolfe houses and both have on-site catering. The site is also used as a University conference facility during the summer months when vacated.
* '''Gower Building''': Gower is divided into two sections: east and west. Gower east contains a small number of self-contained apartments located above other university amenities, mainly used by mature and postgraduate students. Gower west contains a learning space for [[School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton|Electronics and Computer Science]] undergraduate students.
* '''Erasmus Park''': Located in Winchester, this hall houses around 400 students studying at the Winchester School of Art.
* '''Riverside Way''': Located in Winchester in close proximity to Erasmus Park. This is a private halls site but the university does have an agreement to allocate some students there.
