Italia Conti Student Halls

Finding the right place to live is a huge part of starting your training. At Italia Conti, most students choose purpose-built student halls for the convenience, community, and structure they offer, especially in the first year.

While there are no official Italia Conti student halls, there are plenty of options in both Woking and Guildford, with the Guilden Village being the most popular choice for new Musical Theatre, Dance, and Acting students.

Guilden Village: The Main Student Hub

Guilden Village, in central Guildford, is the primary accommodation base for Italia Conti students. Purpose-built for student living, it combines modern facilities with a safe and social environment, ideal if you’re new to the area or living away from home for the first time.

What’s inside:

A choice of private studios or shared flats
Bills included (no surprises when budgeting)
On-site gym
Cinema room and gaming spaces
Multiple study areas
Social lounges, perfect for meeting students across disciplines
Laundry facilities
Secure bike storage
24/7 staff presence

Travel to campus is simple, too. Italia Conti students receive a free bus pass for the No. 34 bus between Guilden Village and Woking, which takes around 40 minutes. Regular trains from Guildford to Woking run in just 8 minutes, making it easy to manage early call times, late finishes, and weekend rehearsals.

Guilden Village offers a built-in community. You will naturally meet people to walk to class with, rehearse alongside, and relax with after a long day of training. The setup is social yet structured, bringing together quiet study areas with shared living spaces so students can balance focus and downtime with ease. It’s a supportive atmosphere that helps new students settle quickly and feel part of campus life from day one.

Other Student Halls and Accommodation Options for Italia Conti

While Guilden Village is the most popular, it isn’t the only option.

Guildford Student Villages

Three other student accommodation blocks are located in Guildford, all within walking distance of the station and offering their own mix of amenities:

Scape, Guildford: Modern rooms, communal kitchens, study pods, and strong security.
Bankside Student Living: Private en-suites, open social areas, on-site gym.
The Bridge Student Village: Affordable, friendly, and well-connected.

All are minutes from Guildford station, making the commute incredibly quick. These halls often suit students who want a slightly quieter atmosphere than Guilden Village while still being close to other student communities.

Which Option Is Best for You?

If you’re looking for structure, social opportunities, and a straightforward start to training, Guilden Village is the best fit for most new students. If you value independence, quiet, while still being close to campus, other private student halls in Guildford halls may suit you better.

Wherever you choose, Italia Conti students form a tight, supportive community on campus, in halls, and across Woking and Guildford. Your home base becomes part of your training experience, helping you settle, focus, and make the most of your life at Italia Conti.
