University Centre Harlow students will be able to apply for undergraduate accommodation on the Chelmsford campus of Anglia Ruskin University. When a student has accepted an offer on a degree course, details of accommodation at Chelmsford will be made available. 

There is an hourly service (Arriva 59) between Harlow and Chelmsford; the journey takes about 40 minutes but varies according to the time of travel. Currently students travel at child fares on production of a current Harlow College student card.

Additionally, some students stay at the Harlow Campus of Memorial University, Newfoundland, in Old Harlow.
