I came to John wood with the expectation that I would have no social life as I’m living off campus where first years are usually housed. But I have loved my experience in John wood building. Very big floor of people which made it easier to make friends as you aren’t limited to just a small number. I live in a shared bathroom bit on the floor and it’s been lovely we have our own kitchen and bathroom between 3. Initially I tended to cook in one of the main kitchens as I found it was a good way of making more friends but I now do cook in my kitchen as it’s more convenient and sometimes nice to have time alone, so the option is good! Cleaners are very good and bins are emptied every day! Maintenance are very good at responding to any needs you might have. But the thing I have loved most is living in the city centre. It’s more convenient for food shops, lots of gym options, pubs and obviously the clubs. The only thing is sometimes the buses in the morning so stay organised!

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.

Decent accommodation in a very central location, although sometimes onerous getting to campus in good time when buses busy (or for rugby sessions in the very early morning!). Within the building itself, social space is limited to kitchens, although there is also the courtyard (weather permitting).
