How big are the beds? I can find that they're 3/4 but what about the depth because of getting bedsheets that are deep enough to fit?

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.

The staff are very helpful and friendly. Good size room with plenty of storage.useful large desk with lots of plug sockets for laptop and phone charging so you can study. The common room includes a pool table and a table tennis table which is fun to use and keeps you entertained on rainy days. I would recommend.

Bentley House has the most welcoming atmosphere of any student accommodations I've been at. And because of this I've chosen to live with Bentley for the past 3 years, and will continue to rebook for the next year. The staff are really sweet and aim to brighten the residents day by having a chat with them or by hosting a variety of events! Even with COVID, the events were still ongoing and it made me feel that my accommodation team cared about my wellbeing, especially since I was not able to go home. Maintenance issues are usually sorted within a day of reporting and the maintenance men are very understanding! Overall, I'd recommend Bentley House for any student that is going to study in Birmingham!

Even amongst the pandemic Bentley was such a great place to live and were so accommodating to make the best out of that scenario, such friendly staff and overall a nice place to live. I wouldn't have chosen anywhere else, and I can imagine it's even better for years to come when all social events can happen again.

I have stayed at Bentley House for the past 3-4 years and there is a reason I have rebooked every year! Everything you could want from an accommodation is provided here! Staff are very accommodating and friendly and have made every effort to ensure that my stay is as comfortable as possible! Maintenance are always quick and efficient in responding to problems in the flat/room and security are always so helpful and ensure we were always safe! Common room and gym area is always clean and tidy and the rooms are very comfortable and spacious! Highly recommend this accommodation!

Bentley house is a great place to live! The staff are always on hand and extremely helpful. It is close to campus for Aston/BCU students as well and closeby to convenience stores/supermarkets. However, due to the pandemic it has been difficult to socialise with others in the accommodation but hopefully from September 2021 things will be a lot better and Bentley will be able to put on a lot of social events. Overall, a great accommodation and very modern too!

Bentley House is a great accommodation to live at. The staff are all so welcoming and lovely and always there for you if you need them. They offer many freebies out which I feel is great as they are having student interaction. It really does feel like a home away from home and I am so glad I chose to live her for my final year University experience!
