How do you rate iQ Studios 51?

Most helpful review

IQ Studios 51 have friendly staff members who are always ready to help. They will help with you luggage and answer all you questions in a polite manner. Also, there are a lot of events that you can attend, where you will be able to socialise and make new friends. Additionally, the distance between the accommodation and my university (Aston University) is not bad at all. It is a very central accommodation and is not far from city centre too. I’d say the only downside about this place is the location. The road is always lonely and might be scary (especially as a first time student), hence, it might feel unsafe. However, if you take care of yourself and don’t go out late in the night alone, you’d be fine. In all, IQ Studios 51 is a lovely accommodation.

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.

2020/2021 has been a challenging year especially when you're an international student. I couldn't be any happier to have been part of Studio 51! The staff (all of them) have been supportive and very welcoming. They would always greet you in a friendly manner (not make you feel as if it is part of their job to greet and welcome you) whenever you come across them in the halls or go to the reception area. They are also very approachable and helpful. It has made staying away from home less lonely. Other than that, the quality of the room is excellent - you get what you pay for! Oh and yes the WIFI is really good too! :)
