{{main|Imperial College Halls of Residence}}

Imperial College owns and manages ten halls of residence in [[Inner London]], [[Acton, London|Acton]] and [[Ascot, Berkshire]]. Over three thousand rooms are available, with first year undergraduates guaranteed a place in one of the six main college residences (subject to certain requirements). The majority of halls offer single or twin accommodation with some rooms having en suite facilities. Bedrooms are provided with basic furniture and with access to shared kitchens and bathrooms. All rooms come with internet access and access to the Imperial network.<ref name="Accommodation guide">{{cite web|url=https://issuu.com/csmarketing/docs/accommodation_guide_2024-25|title=Accommodation Guide|publisher=Imperial College|date=2024|access-date=19 September 2024}}</ref>

Most students in college or university accommodation are first-year undergraduates. The majority of older students and postgraduates find accommodation in the private sector, help for which is provided by the college private housing office. However a handful of students may continue to live in halls in later years if they take the position of a "hall senior", and places are available for a small number of returning students in three small halls.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imperial.ac.uk/students/accommodation/continuing-students/|title= Continuing students|website=Imperial|access-date=19 September 2024}}</ref> The accommodation in Ascot is only for postgraduate students based at the Silwood Park site.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imperial.ac.uk/students/accommodation/prospective/pg/accommodation/silwood-park/|access-date=19 September 2024|title=Silwood Park (not based in London)|website=Imperial}}</ref>
