Remain Local
If you live in or around the Calderdale area you can take advantage of the FREE parking available on site, or you may wish to use public transport. We are a small university centre, usually attracting applicants from the local area so we do not have any undergraduate accommodation. So if you plan to move to the area to study you will need to find suitable accommodation while you study.
