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.

Good experience. Good reception staff.
Its a really good accommodation… peaceful and the staff are really kind as well
the room is clean and the service is good
I find my residence at the Recording Rooms highly satisfactory, with an excellent living atmosphere, a prime location, and an exceptional management team. While the staff has been wonderful, it's worth noting that there is a minor challenge with limited elevator availability. Nevertheless, the unparalleled convenience for the University of Birmingham students and the vibrant atmosphere along Bristol Road make it an ideal choice for a fulfilling living experience.
I have an absolutely lovely room it was love at first sight. A gym which is very useful, as well as a cinema room which I love and many communal places where I able to make friends easily
It is the right choice to select this room and the experience here is excellent.
Perfect location. Common areas always well taken care of including gym, cinema room, study room, and most importantly,staffs are always helpful and friendly! Highly recommend!
Friendly staff, good facilities, great location and close to university and supermarkets.
This accommodation is so nice with perfect location and staff
I do like the view outside my window and also the every week cleaning. But sometimes the Internet is not very stable, maybe it’s because of the Internet company rather than the accommodation itself.
The location is quite great, near the South Gate of UOB
It is very convenient to live here, only 3 minutes walk from the uni gate, Sainsbury, Chinese supermarket, Korean supermarket downstairs and M&S Foodhall just 10 minutes walk away. Abby, Leisha and other staff are very friendly and helpful. Everything is now efficient. I haven't encountered with any issues with the facilities in my room. The internet is also working well again. It has been a great time staying here with friends. I would recommend to all those who want to live around the school.
I really enjoy living in the Recording Rooms. It has a good living environment, the best location, and the best management team. Living in the recording room will enable you to enjoy the best living quality, the most convenient location, and the greatest time with the friends you live with. Come and join us!
Very excellent accommodations. The reception is always there to help.
I really enjoy the stay here and the activities organised by the office staff. The room and shower is comfortable. Recommended!!
The location was the reason why I chose to live here and staff support is the reason why I continue to live here. The location is ideal - within ten minutes to most of the lecture halls that I need to go and with two minute walk from the university gym, which I access a lot. From my personal experience, the problems that I have in the accommodation have all been resolved after communicating with the staff of the management. I appreciate the convenience and support that I get while living here.
