Great value for money would pick this over the more pricey places. Met some really lovely flatmates and we all get on

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.

Absolutely in love with my halls. The location is perfect. Literally 1 minute walk from campus!! All the students who live here get on really well with each other.

Internet is good and close to campus but on arrival things were broken and stunk of stale wee. Kitchen smelt and was not nice. Ended up leaving.

My flat exceeded my expectations. My bedroom is large with useful furniture fitted, including a large wardrobe. The bed is not the most comfortable but it's alright. I share a flat with 4 others (who are all lovely) and we share a shower room and separate toilet. So far, we haven't had any problems with sharing the bathroom! It's not a luxurious bathroom but it's clean and does the job. I was nervous about sharing a bathroom but my experience has been good so far. The kitchen is fairly large too. We have 3 fridges and 2 freezers between the 5 of us. There are two or three cupboard each. There is a cute dining table with stools but we don't use it much. We also have a sofa and a chair which gets the most use (including guests staying over). Could do with a bit more social space but it's cosy. Only one oven so we take it in turn using it. The block I'm in is right at the back of the Hollies so it's fairly quiet. Easy 5 minute walk to lectures on Glenside, just cross the road.

Amazing place to live, big rooms and a great community feel. Had the best social life there as parties don't get shut down like on the main campus

Very good location, close to UWE but not to far from Stoke Estate and Oldbury Court Estate, easy to get out of the city. Accommodation services were pretty awful, they still have my flat address incorrect after telling them several times. The flat isn't great and a few things were broken upon arrival. Quite a few things broke over the time we were here and, even after reporting them a few times, they are still broken. It's fairly cheap though. My friends have better private accommodation though (which is also cheaper).
