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.

Rackhay is pretty great value for money in my opinion. It has everything you need and is in an amazing location (be careful through because you are dangerously close to the shops and I did spend loads of money)
The Rackhay unlike some of the other accommodations doesn’t have a great physical appearance, however the location being right in the city centre within a 20 minute walk to the majority of university buildings, night clubs, gyms etc definitely makes up for this. Also the flats are modern inside and the rooms have small double beds with decently sized bedrooms that fit a good amount of belongings - I overpacked haha and I still got it all in!
so close to city centre and really good socially as it so close to Waverley and favela
really good location and amazing social experience
was my 3rd choice but i absolutely love it here!!!!
Everything was simply bad, apply to stoke bishop instead.
we got free Ben and Jerrys. All is well with the world
