Most helpful review

Great facilities, although it's a little bit far and unconvinced for travel, but the view up at this hill is amazing, double bed and a tv in a room

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.

i live at the hub which is not entirely part of the university; however, the university set aside space for students to live in it because the university hall’s became full very quickly

Overpriced, poor decorative upkeep, slightly isolated! Was definitely one of the more antisocial halls for my year, however that would depend on your flatmates. The location was mediocre, about a 20 minute bus ride from town, annoying to get back from a night out. Lack of social space in the flat, literally just a small kitchen and no lounge.

This place was a nightmare to live in. The Kitchen: Just poorly constructed with clearly no thought put into the design and built in a hurry, most of the space was falling apart and will probably need a total new installation in a year of two (despite being built in 2013). The Room: Nothing special I had something similar when studying for undergrad, only it cost me a fraction of the price (Brighton will tell you it's Brighton area prices but that's BS as its not near the center and University of Sussex has similar accommodation for a lower prices).The room was constantly too hot even with the heating off. The biggest issue though was the fact my room was facing a construction site, which was less than 15m away every morning woken up by building work and every evening kept awake by the lighting the builders left on. absolutely no attempts were made to reduce the impact of the building work and no one cared which really sums up the whole experience.
