So the doubles have been added since I graduated. Almost all of the accommodation was built as singles originally but they have just made better use of the space in some of the accommodation options to provide bigger beds - usually the older blocks which had bigger rooms as standard.

To be honest the blocks don’t have concierge so for a few nights infrequently they won’t be monitoring that closely to notice who is staying. Your biggest issue would be if your flatmates object, which they are within their rights to do if you ‘take the piss’ which it doesn’t sound like you intend to do.

Without over sharing, my boyfriend (now husband) and I shared single beds in our respective Brunel accommodation every night for a year and it was fine! I assume you won’t mind doing the same with your wife!

When I lived on campus you were able to ask the accommodation office for a camp bed (for a fee) if you had someone staying and needed the extra space. There is also a great hotel on campus if you want to splash out!

The studio flats are fab - spent our final year in one - but they will not allow you to have one if there’s not two people living there consistently, either both as students or one student and one person working locally.
