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.

It’s been a great experience with the amount of space and location
Laundry not great. No air fresher, super hot inside, and the timer of washer is not accurate, inside of dryer looks dirty. Room great, accommodation nice location in down town Bournemouth. The stuff here really the best part of this property. kind and patient, good for everyone who just arrived in England.
Many thanks for your comments and taking the time to review us. We will get a member of the team to check out the dryer today and pass your comments regarding the washer timer on to our laundry company.
Good staff and very good location, has great events to socialize!
Many thanks for the great review, we're pleased your enjoying our events and getting to know other residents.
Reception staff are amazing and always happy to help and resolve issues really fast. The room is spacious with lots of storage and I like how big the windows are so that the light can come in your room,
Thankyou for leaving us such a great review, we love that you're enjoying Mercury House.

Thank-you for taking the time to give us such a great review and we're thrilled to hear you think we are the best accommodation in Bournemouth!
Mercury House offered great accommodation from the clean and well-thought out studio rooms, to the lovely reception staff who are always happy to help, have a chat, and plan amazing weekly activities to help you get to know others in the building. The accommodation is also in the town centre, a short walk away from the beach, and a short bus journey away from the university. I loved my time living here and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for studio rooms in Bournemouth.
Thankyou for taking the time to write such a great review, we're really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.
This was a really good student accommodation to stay in; there's a bus stop right outside that the uni bus stops at every hour, the rooms are nice and well-lit with more than enough storage space for everything, and the staff are very friendly and helpful whenever you need anything. The only downside is that you don't have much of a view from the windows, but that definitely shouldn't put you off staying here!
Thank you for the lovely review and we are really pleased you enjoyed living with us here at Mercury House. We hope you have a great summer
Amazing staff,very helpful and friendly .Near the beach
Thank you for a lovely review of Mercury House we are glad you are happy staying here. The beach is delightful to be so near to.
Overall a lovely place with friendly staff.
Thanks for your review, we are glad you are enjoying your stay with us and the team are always happy to help.
I have live here for a year and it was great deal.
Thanks for taking the time to review Mercury House. We're very pleased that you are happy with your accommodation
Lovely place to stay. Close to everywhere and decent for the price
Thank you for your review of Mercury House we are pleased you are enjoying your stay with us.
Awful!! AVOID!! Unless you want to be kept awake all night by the night club next to your window then go ahead and book.
We are sorry you are experiencing issues in your room due to noise outside of our control. We are limited to what we can do but we recommend you raise a formal complaint with the local council if you continue to have issues. A recent article in Bournemouth Daily Echo announced that Cameo will be ceasing trading and in its place space for 2 new shops. We hope that outside of your noise issues, you have enjoyed living with us this year. We are proud to currently be the number 1 rated property in Bournemouth on StudentCrowd which shows most students love living with us.
I am a resident and also a volunteer warden. Any other building or any other set of staff would make this a less than ideal position to be in. However the cheerful, helpful, warm, and welcoming people at Mercury house really make it an easy place to live and help out. All in all a joyful experience to live here. Also there are free snacks that always make your day a little better.
Wow, thanks for such a fantastic review. Our wardens are pretty great too!! ;) We're pleased to hear you're enjoying the snacks. Don't forget we've got coffee and cake this Friday.
Property management are one of the best things about this accom. If you have a problem it gets sorted pretty quick. 10/15 min walk from the beach, literally 5 mins away from town centre. Pretty good location for socialising. There’s a reason I stayed here the 3 year duration of my university course. It’s not going to be perfect because it’s uni accom at the end of the day but I’m pretty sure I’ve had way less problems than any of my other friends at other accommodations.
Thank you for a lovely review, we are really please you are happy with the service you receive from the team at Mercury House.
My university course started later in the year so I was struggling to find a room that fitted my needs as a mature student. The team here at Mercury house were very helpful and everything moved very quickly to get me moved in and settled before my course started in January. Communication is also very clear and easy between the team when any issues arise.
Thank you for a great review and we are really pleased you are happy with the service you have received here at Mercury House
Great accommodation in Bournemouth

Thanks for your review, we are really pleased you are enjoying living with us here at Mercury House
I have had the pleasure of staying at Mercury house, and I can confidently say that this has set a new standard for student accommodations. From the moment I came, I was impressed by the warm and inviting atmosphere that greeted me. Mercury house has offered a great location convenience. The short walk to campus made early morning lectures a breeze. There is a close proximity to every local daily amentities. The facilities at Mercury house are top notch. The communal spaces are thoughtfully designed, fostering a sence of community among residents. Our own lockers are great convenience through getting our parcels and letters. My room at Mercury house has been the prime highlight for me personally. My studio has been more than just a place to sleep - it was a sanctuary. The modern furnishings and ample storage space and the personal bathroom and kitchen had made my stay exceptional. The management and staff go above and beyond and maintanance issues are always adressed promptly.
Wow, thanks for such an amazing review. We're so pleased you're enjoying your stay with us.
Overall would definitely recommend. Staff are so nice and little noise considering the location.
Thanks for your review, we are really pleased you are enjoying living with us here at Mercury House
It’s been great living at Mercury House. Really close to the town centre and very well connected for transportation. Property managers are the best! Trish and Kate are always smiling and ready to help. It helps to be greeted by friendly faces when living away from home.
Thanks for such a lovely review, we are really pleased that your stay here at Mercury House is an enjoyable one.
Great space to live in. The people who manage the place are great in every way. It's well maintained. There is ample amount of light coming through the windows in my studio. The bus stop to university and other locations is also very close. Only thing I hate is the view I have got from my room (402) which is of a parking lot, but that's okay, not everything could be great every time. Also, other thing is that if you have a large suitcase, know that you don't have space to fit it under your bed or in front of your bed, you might need to keep it behind your bed where the breakfast bar is, so keep that in mind.
Thanks for your great review of Mercury House. We are pleased you enjoy living with us.
perfect accommodation , perfect staff
Thanks for your review, we are pleased you are enjoying your stay here at Mercury House

Thanks for a great review! We are pleased you are enjoying your stay here at Mercury House
Very spacious studio, perfect atmosphere to focus in whilst studying and plenty of socialising opportunities within the Mercury House property. Very close to the beach and shops as well as university, perfect bundle.
Thanks for a great review! We are really pleased you are enjoying living with us here at Mercury House
It is a greta accomodation, I recommend it
Thanks for your review, we are pleased you are enjoying living with us here at Mercury House
Friendly and very kind staff! Always there to help the student. The maintenance guys are the best whatever needed are always there to fix it. Wifi is not good enough as well as the laundry machines and prices. Also, it would be good if there was a study room.
The accommodation is well maintained and if there are any issues, it gets resolved within a reasonable timeframe. The staff are helpful and polite. Would be better if there were a few more washing machines but overall living at mercury house has been a good experience and would recommend it.
Trish is a great staff, to be honest, the staff here are very nice, they are very responsive and always solve problems quickly. And the house is very suitable for living alone, there is enough storage space, the microwave and refrigerator, and the stove will be checked for problems before moving in. During the period, staff will come to inquire and check the room facilities. It is very close to the two business districts, about ten minutes away, and fifteen minutes to the beach. The only regret is the two big nightclubs downstairs, as the soundproofing is a bit poor, but if you're lucky, you'll get a room on the opposite side of the nightclubs (because the building is cylindrical). All good, soft mattress, very safe, privacy and plenty of activities to do. Overall, if you're looking for value for money accommodation, this is a good choice. I used Google Translate so some sentences may not be clear, but here is a good alternative!
Thanks for a great review! We are pleased that your stay here at Mercury House was a positive experience
Great location and staff are amazing.
