Stay close to home

Are you one of the growing number of students who want to stay at home and commute to Uni? We’re proud that many of our students live locally and choose us for their move into higher education. We’d love you to join them in making the short journey from A to Beds.

Our Bedford and Luton campuses are well situated for those travelling in from London on the train, and Luton boasts a 24-hour line from St Pancras.

If you are thinking of driving in, our Bedford campus has extensive on-site parking, making it really accessible from towns and cities such as Milton Keynes, Northampton or Cambridge.

Our Luton campus is in the town centre and is surrounded by plenty of affordable car parking options.

There is also a large network of buses running to and from surrounding major towns into both Bedford and Luton - you may even see us on the back of some of them!

Top reasons to stay local

  • Keep your cash and commute
  • Keep the lifestyle you love
  • Luton bus and train stations just 1,000 steps away
  • We've got the connections if you've got the car
  • Only a 35-minute commute by train from London
  • Stay in your own space while you explore a new universe
