Great student accommodation, I am absolutely loving my time here! It’s in such an ideal place regardless of which campus you are on, travel links are on your door step. Lots of shops for food are within minutes away on foot and the nightlife is also a short walk away!

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.

Student Review: 3.9 /5
By gracer On 5th March 23 verified Verified student

I was here in 2020 (lockdown and covid). I would have preffered to live in cranborne and save money, i made friends there and the vibe was overall more social there. Bailey people kept to themselves. I know it was covid year but honestly you meet the best people in the cheaper / more nasty accoms lol. Uni is about slumming it a bit, I regretted living in the nicest halls because it was just money down the drain.

The rooms are a great size with plenty of storage. The kitchen facilities are good. The social spaces are really nice and the reception team are lovely and very helpful. Location is perfect… close to shops, bus stop right outside, town only a short walk and the library is literally next door.

Not worth the huge amounts of money you pay for it. I understand COVID had a big impact on usage of communal spaces etc, but even with a tiny discount we still paid for facilities we were not allowed to use. Girls, if you have hair be prepared to spend out on drain unblocking products, otherwise you’ll have maintenance up every other day. Toilets just about managed a half flush most days and in spring, I hope you don’t want a glass of cold water because it’s luke warm at best. Overall 3/5 stars, only 3 points for the location and the fact that when you can use the facilities it might be more worth while.

Lifts constantly breaking down, was a hole in my flooring when moving in which was never even addressed. Cheap cupboards that broke with minimal pressure on them. Overall value for money was incredibly poor. Wasn’t allowed to use social areas for majority of the year yes Covid was the cause but would at least expect a rent discount
