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.

Pretty good overall but a bit unreasonable for the money I pay.
Pool table is a little naff but still good fun. Could be closer to uni but the bus is cheap and easy to take
Wasn't one of my 7 choices but still got put here. In the city centre and
I had a great time, but the social life isn't as good because it's mixed with bath college students
A little pricey for what it is, but being in the centre of town is great.
Negatives: 30 minute travel to campus, heating is bad, noise insulation is bad, no common room. Positives: location in the city
When I found out I'd been put into JWC I was initially gutted. I thought that being off campus I'd miss out on the 1st yr uni experience. However, now I am so glad I ended up here and would defo choose again. The location is AMAZING! We're about a 2 min walk from the centre so all the shops are really close, I joined a gym in town a minute's walk away (which is better and quieter than the uni gym) I can go running past the sites and big sainsburies is about a 5 min walk (which is much cheaper and better than the shops on campus). I can't reiterate how much better life is in the city. The bus ride up to campus is a 30 min journey (including walking/waiting for bus) but I think it's worth the city life experience. The negatives..bathrooms are a bit grim(!) but the rooms are lovely and quite big! (Much bigger than quads!), it's a shame there's no communal space but our flats just socialise in the kitchens and it's not a problem. Would thoroughly recommend
There is no common room and the only social space is a small kitchen. Pretty disappointing experience really, I would not recommend living here to anyone.
Very close to everything you need at uni - local and big supermarkets, shops, bus stop, pubs and bars, nightclubs, a cinema, all kinds of restaurants and take aways, and basically everything else you'd find in a town centre. You get used to taking a bus up to campus quite soon, so the benefits of being right in the city centre are well worth it, not to mention that i'm saving around £700-1500 living here compared to campus.
Such a good place to be, easy to make friends and in the city, so easier to buy your stuff,etc.
In general John wood court is quite correct: in the citycenter (near bus station), social space (court), a own laundry, staff available 24h, not to many people in a flat, premises quite new and modern But its far from the uni, takes time to go there, there is no common room, no cafe or snack bar, kitchen in some flat are really small, people arent very gathering, wifi is bad in court, most of flats have to share toilet and bathroom
Best place to live! What a shame I can't live there next year...
great for access to city centre, convenient on nights out etc. only 5 people in a flat though so not as social as eastwood perhaps
Great location in town, everything is in the vicinity. Bus stop is just around the corner. You get to meet a lot of people from different places as the majority are international students. Bathroom facilities could be better xx
Amazing accommodation and is walking distance from almost everywhere in the centre of Bath! The rooms are large and spacious and as a whole, the accommodation is fantastic! The only downside is a lack of social space however most people just gather in kitchens
