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 am here for my placement and the staff here is extremely unhelpful. The only good thing is the worth for money other than that thats it. They rush to check you in, don't tell you anything about laundry so I was unable to do my laundry over the weekend because they didn't give me a card. The laundry room is always full of water. I went downstairs to complain about how the water runs lukewarm and how specs come out when i pour it in my cup and they said let it run for a bit and it will get cold which didn't sort out anything. They do not look after the property well. Its only good because it is on the addenbrooks site.
I have enjoyed how close the accommodation has been to my placement, and appreciate the cleaners coming every week to do communal areas etc.I’ve had a good social experience, as everyone living here is in healthcare, so it’s quite easy to connect.
Decent accomodation, would be better to have more social space. Room is tiny for the price, but I think because it’s Cambridge. always full, such a struggle to get a place available to rent
Great value for money. Short distance from town - buses and train station close by. Great social experience to meet people on similar courses.
Really great value for money as the room sizes are very good, compared to other accommodations in Cambridge which are very expensive. Right next to addenbrookes, so beneficial to people working in addenbrookes on placement. You are likely to meet similar people to you, who are studying health courses. Harston house doesn't get too noisy, except on certain weekends, when parties are occurring. However, one of the downsides of harston house is the unorganized hall management. For example the lift breaks down regularly. Also, many of us 1st years were told we can not stay there anymore in May, which gave us little time to find accommodation.
while living here on my first year it was like living on a building site. Where I stayed before was quiet and right up the other end of the corridor to the main door. After living here for 2 months at the end of my course I can honestly say I wouldn't recommend. The rooms have been updated and are spacious but the noise at night and even early hours of the morning from inconsiderate neighbours have put me in a situation. Not only have I been exhausted most mornings they then move a load of freshers into this part of the building who, as they have lots of time off do not appreciate that there are still people that need sleep. One night I was kept up till 2am while a party went off downstairs.. this including loud music, screaming girls and a lot of stomping of heels. It has ruined my experience here. I really am actually very disappointed that people aren't told when they move in that there are other people, other years of their degree living here.
Harston house is cheap for Cambridge however because it's nursing halls and cheap it doesn't seem to get the same attention that the rest of halls do, it's never involved in halls wars or any events regarding the university. It hasn't been updates since probably the 60s or even painted and the kitchens show this, but you meet great friends there and it's perfect for placement got nurses
