It’s better if cleaners come in more often to do the cleaning of the kitchen and preferably the toilets from time to time

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.

The rooms are a great size. Double bed, lots of storage and ensuite great. It exceeded my expectations and was really pleased. Worth the money. The location is a little walk from the main campus, only 10 minutes but there is a shop located there so you don’t have to walk all the way. And buses are regular. Cleaners didn’t come very often but when they came the cleaning was thorough as they did kitchens, ensuites and bedrooms. The kitchens are a great size for socialising however the stools in the kitchen aren’t very comfortable and communal so people dont like spending time in there. WiFi is good.

Friendly environment, great students, very safe campus. Relatively pricey compared to other colleges like Darwin, Rutherford or Elliot but 500% better. Sporadic cleaning either twice a month or once a month of the kitchen and bathroom.
