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.

Overall it's an acceptable choice, especially if you're looking for ensuites or studios because of the relatively reasonable pricing. However, it's a bit far from the University of Bristol and out of the coverage of the school health centre, so you'll need to register for another GP outside. I chose it because it offered the lowest pricing for ensuites. Interior is not that fancy and a bit worn out but not a big problem. Laundry fee is pretty high. Fire alarm will surprise you every now and then. Maintenance requests are responded on a not so fast basis. Nonetheless it's still a nice option because most of your accommodation needs are met, and if you have nice flat mates that'd be greater (which I don't). I live in Print Hall 2 btw.

The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout my stay, always attentive to any needs. However, there was a noticeable discrepancy between the studio size I received and the photos displayed on the website. The images shown are of the larger studios, which are quite limited, while most of the other available studios are much smaller. I would recommend that future students visit and see the accommodation in person before renting to ensure it meets their expectations. Despite the size issue, the staff's professionalism and friendliness made the experience more positive.

I had an enjoyable stay at Print Hall. My room was spacious and the kitchen was well equipped. I had a lovely time with my flatmates at the social spaces and common room. The staff are very friendly and always ready to help.

Print Hall was a random allocation for me and I hadn't even put it as one of my choices but honestly it's the best thing that could've happened to me. The staff and the community they built is by far the best thing about it, they are so helpful and caring and always available for any issues. The rooms are amazing quality, spacious and new. The shared kitchens are all equipped with good appliances.

It’s been a very tumultuous year to say the least with covid and with lockdowns, by all accounts a year no one could have prepared for. With this in mind it has been a positive experience for me in print hall 1. The company was very good about offering rent rebates for students (such as myself) who did not immediately return to halls after the Christmas holidays, and have been good at maintaining good communication throughout this time. Overall I have found the staff very helpful and accommodating, and there is generally always someone to help with any problem. I think it is unfair to rate the social experience whilst in halls this year as there hasn’t been one, but that is due to covid rather than by any fault of the accommodation. The social spaces that the building has are nice (although we have been unable to make use of them between renovations and covid which is a shame). I have overall enjoyed my experience given the circumstances. Thank you!

I think Print Hall can be described as perfect. My Premium Studio rooms are spacious, new and sound proof. There are gym, study room, billiard table and other public facilities in the building. In particular, Print Hall's management team is the best I've ever heard of. They have a 24-hour reception, sign for and take care of parcels for us. When I encounter problems such as maintenance and information inquiry, I can always get in touch with The Print Hall team quickly and get help. The team always provides snacks and holiday gifts for us, which makes me feel the warmth of being cared for. The only thing that is not perfect is that The Print Hall is far from the campus of the University of Bristol, it takes 25 minutes to walk, but it is acceptable for me.

The location is near to the shopping centre - cabot circus, but a little far from the university (about 30 minutes' walking). I live in studio and the rent fee is a kind of expensive, however it concludes Internet and utility bills. I see some people complain staffs block other building's doors and I think it makes me feel comfortable. Staffs at the reception are always friendly and fastly-reacted, from parcel collection, printing request, and so on. In summary, I'd say if you don't mind the distance from the university, I'll recommend PH.

Great location right in the city centre, couldn’t ask for a nicer room. Less sociable than other accommodations but would recommend for anyone looking for a nice accommodation close to the uni.

Location is not bad to be next to the train station and Cabot circus but ultimately is isolated from all other student accom. Rooms are quite nice but weird flat allocation with some flat with 13 people and some just 3. Common rooms are all closed until they brought the pool table up next to the reception. Cleaner won’t do anything and gave ridiculous excuse of not cleaning (eg the hob is not clean enough to be cleaned) DO NOT CHOOSE THIS ACCOMMODATION as the people here severely invades your privacy. There were people from maintenance coming into the flat everyday without notice and some just opens your door without knocking. One of the security brings his own binoculars to look into the kitchen windows (honestly so creepy).There was even a ‘security’ randomly entered the flats at 3am just to ‘patrol’ while most of them don’t wear a mask. God knows if they were making us into isolation. Living in there just makes me feel unsafe and I’m so happy I moved out

my friend and I joked it was a literal prison. they lock the doors to each end of the corridor and you can't access other floors (I presume for security reasons) but it means you are confined to your own room basically unless you go down into the common area, which is dead most of the time. I made one friend on my corridor and that was only because we met outside when the fire alarm went off. Apart from that I met none of my neighbours the entire year I was there. I made better friends with the guys working at the desk when I got parcels. It's NOTHING like how you imagine student halls to be. It was very isolating and I spent most of my time out which made it an incredible waste of money. Speaking of money, it's an extortionate amount for what you get, considering it's pretty much impossible to make friends if you're in a studio like I was (it was late when I applied so I had no choice). I really wouldn't go for this place unless you're a certified hermit who loves loneliness. sorry:/

Covid-19: They put up signs informing us about the outbreak before I left to go isolate at home, but I haven't been living there while lockdown was implemented, so don't have any info on it since then.

In a good location, however rooms are very pricey compared to other similar halls. WiFi hardly works in the new block, when it does it is incredibly slow. No proper oven, small microwave/oven which can hardly fit oven trays into. Tiny fridge freezer can just about fit a weeks shop in, freezer can only fit 2 items max.
