All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation

What tenancy length do I need?

Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.

Should I stay in catered student accommodation?

This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.

What is a guarantor and do I need one?

A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.

Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?

Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.

What bills will my rent include?

If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.

What is purpose-built student accommodation?

Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.

Will my student accommodation be furnished?

Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Very expensive but feels like an easy option to move into. Room was not as spacious as I was hoping and most of my essentials broke (oven, hob, shower) and took a long time to be fixed. I enjoy the social area although dont find much social activity happening. Room was really dirty when I moved in and took two days to clean myself to an acceptable standard

I chose to stay at Hox Park originally becuase I missed the application for uni halls. Experience at Hox Park is far better than staying at uni accommodations, walls are thicker, the room is more spacey and the wifi is better and quicker as well!

I've stayed at Hox Park for 3 of my 4 years at university and absolutely love it. The reception team and management are absolutely lovely. Any issues are taken care of immediately. The gym is such a great amenity and I love all the events they put on. They're a really supportive and helpful team. It's absolutely worth the money and I would recommend to other students.

Hox Park is a fantastic place to live! The site is surrounded by beautiful parkland and is only a 20-minute walk from campus. A regular bus service runs every 25 minutes, making the journey onto campus just five minutes (and it's free!). The staff are always so friendly and consistently go above and beyond to help. The bills are inclusive of power, water and internet too! There is a fully kitted gym on site, which is also free for residents. The rooms are arguably the best student accommodation Egham has to provide. The ensuite rooms are spacious, with a double bed, and the studios are exceptionally spacious! The communal area, Hox Hous, has a study space, games area and lots of seating, making it the perfect place to relax off campus, and it is always kept in pristine condition. Hox Park is undoubtedly the best value-for-money student accommodation in Egham. I couldn't possibly say anything bad about it!

One time I was walking through hox and suddenly I got attacked by the love of the community. Thisbyear there is a lack of community but I was attacked by a hyena and hox security didn’t help until I shouted to them help the hyena. They didn’t help the hyena. Long story short there’s a hyena buried under the courtyard that will give prosperity to all students due to black magic. I love Hox Park and the fact that a Hyena got battered and they let me rebook proves why Hox Park is the best accomodation

What a fantastic place to live! The staff are incredibly friendly and will always go out of their way to help with absolutely anything. The facilities including the free gym, games area and study space are exceptional, and the site itself is beautiful. It's only a 5 minute free bus service to Royal Holloway and a beautiful 20 minute walk to campus. The rooms are spacious, modern and functional, the bathrooms are a great size and the showers are huge! I would recommend Hox Park to anyone and everyone!

This is my second year living at Hox and I’m so happy with the accommodation that I’ve decided to stay for my third year too. I’ve made really close friends with my flatmates and the large shared kitchen/living space has meant we were able to do Halloween movie nights, Netflix binges, and a Christmas dinner together. The staff are always super friendly and helpful and the recent events they’ve put on in Hox Haus have been great for my mental health. The gym is well stocked and cleaned regularly. Any issues I’ve had with the shower, lights, and sockets have been promptly fixed within 24 hours by maintenance.

Hands down the best place to live in Egham/Englefield Green. The facilities are great, the rooms and kitchens are well decorated and spacious, they look exactly like the pictures. All the rooms have an incredible view as well, either of the courtyard or the nature outside if you prefer more privacy. The gym is well equipped and the common area (Hox Haus) is the best hang out spot. The best part though is probably the staff, extremely supportive and efficient and will resolve all issues promptly. The reception team are super kind and understanding, they host events with free goodies, food, drink and snacks all year round and it’s always a pleasure to speak to them. There is on-site security 24/7 that make the place extremely safe. The maintenance team are also very efficient, all maintenance issues no matter how big or small are resolved within 24 hours free of charge. There is also a tight-knit community of students. It’s most definitely the best environment for students

The green spaces are gorgeous and although the gym is a little small, there are quiet times in the day when it's empty. It would only take me 20 mins max to walk to uni but the shuttle bus to and from is also handy (although I didn't use it often as I prefer to walk. The staff and security are always lovely whenever you need them and, even with the restrictions this year due to covid, they also put on some restriction friendly goodies around christmas and easter. When I first moved in, the flat had things from the previous tenants in the kitchen and it was clear that the space hadn't been cleaned. But I did move in during the Covid pandemic so I can understand the snags, and things that were broken were quickly replaced with no fuss. Hox Haus is a really lovely study space as well as social space with the pool table and fusball table as well as some cosy nooks for late night studying. The rooms are a great size, I was in Juniper and out kitchen was huge! Can have noisy students though

At the start of the year I was in a normal flat, but due to Covid I realised it was much beneficial to be in a studio room so that I was staying to myself. The whole Hox team really helped me to have a swift room change which was amazing! They are also always happy to help and smiling! Extremely helpful staff during Covid!

I lived here for 3 years and weighing up everything, my stay at Hox Park was good particularly in the first year when it was brand new. Pros: - Very modern facilities - 24hr gym (precovid) - Great modern decor - Social area in Hox Haus spanning 2 floors where you can either study or play games like chess, jenga, table football, pool, PS4 & Xbox or watch TV - Double bed - Lot's of storage room and space in your room - Friendly staff - Hold free events and free food e.g. Halloween, Easter, Christmas, Chinese New New Year - Free parking - apprx 3 min drive from the top of Windsor Great Park / Deer Park - 2 min away from Kingswood halls - Quiet Cons - No lift in any of the blocks - Fire alarms go off all the time and are super loud - Building works for luxury retirement home still not finished since 2018 (so sometimes annoying when you can hear the builders at 8am in the morning). - Far from campus (20 min walk) and shops - Share the uni bus with Kingswood which comes every 30 min

Great facilities. Buildings are only a few years old. Management is great very polite and try to organise some social events. The rent prices are very high and the common kitchens should have been cleaned once a week by the cleaners.

Having lived in Hox Park throughout a pandemic, I can safely say that there are few other places I would rather be in such a time. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating, and the rooms are excellent.

Have lived in Hox Park for two years now and can honestly say is one of the best student accommodations I’ve seen, the internet and on site parking have been a huge benefit as well as the modern and well maintained gym.

All the desk staff are incredibly polite and helpful, which sets the tone for a modern, well-maintained and well located student accommodation, with large, clean rooms and perfect spaces for studying, socialising and exercising.

Overall I have had a very good experience living at Hox park. I love the location, though I do have a car so it may be more difficult for those who don’t as it’s right at the top of the hill. But the free parking is great. The accommodation is great, with lots of great facilities. The only downsides are that there is no phone signal in the buildings so if you want to make a call without WiFi you have to go outside and the management is not great. We have people walking into our flat all the time without warning, don’t know if this is worse being on the ground floor, we had people moving into our flat in January without anyone letting us know in advance, bearing in mind this is all happening during Covid. And I know there have been issues with some of the reception staff. However, if this is stuff that doesn’t bother you, it is a very comfortable and nice place to live and I have enjoyed it!! It’s generally pretty quiet too

Ash studios. Hox is located at the top of the hill with a free bus service to campus and £1 service to Egham station. There are multiple shortcuts and footpaths. 2 around Kingwood, which take you towards Egham or the Uni. The former takes you on a downhill footpath between fields. The scenery is worth being uphill for me and mitigated by the bus service. Any other location from Hox around campus is downhill. The Hox gym is a big plus. The gym membership on campus costs a few extra hundred and considering the gym is integrated smack bang in the middle of Hox, it's worth much more. The reception staff and security are reasonable, kind and receptive. Social spaces are very good apart from studios which have no shared area or kitchen. As a result, the halls are very quiet as all of the extras are within the room. It would've been helpful to have a mop which is my only qualm.

Great value for money. The staff is very welcoming and helpful! The social spaces are great for fun nights with friends and for studying. I especially like the large windows in all of the accommodations in Hox Park. Would definitely recommend!

I love staying at this accommodation, staff are very friendly and make you feel at home. Though the location is off campus, hox park has a private gym facility and social spaces available on site. The rooms are very spacious and well taken care off. The kitchen is well equipped with all necessary catering facilities too.

Great social and study spaces. Nice location with a regular bus to campus. Rooms are well thought through with reliable WiFi. Having parking on site is also really useful. Any complaints are dealt with quickly.

Though it may be a little out the way, a 20min walk from campus at rhul, the bus service helps students at hox stay connected very well!
