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 so is all accommodation in Bath. All campus accommodation is very close together, and the campus is quite small so you’re close to everywhere you need to go. Social space was closed for a lot of the year due to Covid, and there was only one social space for a building of over 100 people.

Better this year than it would’ve been any other year as it helped meet more people during Covid, but the fact that it was 1 kitchen shared with 38 others and 1 social area between 140 or so people. Wasn’t ideal.

I liked the fact it was a big accomodation so it was easy to meet lots of new people and make lots of friends. I liked the fact it was really close to lots of facilities and things I might need. I thought the cleaners did a great job. I felt that the rooms were very small and a bit claustrophobic. The social spaces were closed for most of the year because of covid which meant there was nowhere for people to hang out. The walls were very thin. But overall I had a nice time there

One of the arguably more run down accommodations on campus. Still at a very nice level nonetheless! Incredibly social with access to all 100 or so students in the hall and shared kitchen/social spaces.

Catering credit was poorly run with not enough choice open in evenings and struggling to spend all the money. Otherwise, halls themselves were nice.

Great atmosphere in Brendon. Everyone is really friendly, and always up for a good time. Only issue is the strictness of the corridors (as even a sign couldn't be hung on the wall).

Brendon Court is a very social and fun hall to be in. There are lots of different nationalities and a great group cohesiveness, making the challenge of finding friends and going out together easy and exciting. The living conditions however, are not great. The building is outdated, the kitchen much to small to compensate for 40 students per floor, the cleaning not always done well and the furniture subpar. Insolation is lacking, meaning rooms become damp and cold in the winter months, closet space is lacking. If you are lucky enough to get a corner room, the downsides are less apparent, but if you have the standard small room, then Brendon Court can be a bit of a pain to live in.
