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.

It's quite expensive for what you get. However the refurbished flats are clean but they do have big heavy doors that close everyone off from each other. It's easy to feel lonely which can be difficult for a first year. The ensuites are relatively nice.

The halls are great for making friends and or on campus which is a bonus but it's at a 30 minute walk to anywhere that sells food, the bus only take the right change and the laundry is really expensive

Great value for money, as you can use as much water, heating and electricity as you want, and food can be included!! Great position for uni, but a bit far away from the city centre, but easy to get to with the 52. The best social experience to meet new people!!

Could've been better as it was the only building on the campus that had not been renovated yet.

Stayed in catered halls. The food was good and the accommodation was old but the rooms are being redone this summer. 10 in my flat, was a great experience and I wouldn't change a thing
