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.

Trefoyne is a good value for money exchange, however the fact still remains that every surface of this accommodation is as thin as a sheet of paper, you don't want to hear what your upstairs neighbour had for breakfast, or what your downstairs neighbour considers a good guitar solo? Too bad because you get to anyway, for God's sakes do not choose any of the middle flats on the first floor, that's double the annoyance, go top floor or bottom floor, top floor is preferable as you are less likely to hear the chairs scrape against the floor above you at 2am or the heavy footfalls of that one upstairs neighbour that has cinderblocks for shoes, the fire alarm goes off every Friday afternoon and that is amazing if you hate your hearing, but relatively understandable, what isn't understandable is the schoolbell used as a doorbell which your co-flats will use after a nice drunk night out to wake you up bright and early to face the day 😁. All in all an amazing flat with amazing people.

In my first few weeks of trefloyne we have needed maintenance on our flat at least 5 times due to issues that we had when we arrived, the doorbell almost never works, the sink is very leaky and the shower was possibly the most disgusting thing that I've used. That being said, I really like this place, there is a cosy atmosphere as my flatmates and I have all worked hard ti make it so.

Great value for money, lovely location near to everything on campus but out of the way enough to have pretty views and woodland surroundings. I loved my time there.

Trefloyne is an awesome hall - It is very well priced for Aber, and is alot better compared to accommodation of the same price. You get a recently refurbished kitchen, which has a fridge and an freezer, so it is more than enough for everyone to store everything. It also has a sofa in the kitchen (unlike some of the seafront accommodation) and the walls have plaster on (unlike Cwrt Mawr). The internet is good, and you get wifi pretty much everywhere. The wired internet is good too, and you can get 100 up 100 down most of the time. The hall has 3 "wash rooms" - a room with a toilet and a sink, a room with a bath, toilet and sink, and a room with just a shower. They are also sinks in the bedrooms for cleaning teeth etc... It is located really close to the arts center and the SU, so its good for social events, and the kitchen makes it good for house party's. However, if you are going into town, you will want to get a taxi, as it is quite a walk up, especially when you are drunk.

Trefloyne was good, clean, well maintained, specious accommodation for a reasonable price, clean, with an on campus location ideal for lectures but not so much for the town or social life activities/ nights out etc. Internet was fast but torrents were blocked!

Trefloyne is one of the better 'cheap' halls. The rooms are definitely the biggest (apart from Fferm Penglais bedrooms) and you get a bath and a sofa, which a lot of halls in Aber don't get. The wifi can be patchy but there are wired connections in each room and it never affected my ability to work. You get a lot of kitchen space (cupboards are massive) however there's not a lot of fridge/freezer space, but I'm guessing that's the same in most halls. Porters/maintenance team are usually fairly quick to sort out problems and you're in a good location to get to lectures, the local mini-supermarket (CKs) and even the Llanbadarn campus fairly quickly (and without having to tackle any of Aber's notorious hills). It's about 20 mins walk to Llanbadarn or into town, so on rainy days/nights out this means getting a taxi, but they're only £1/person if you're sharing with friends. The parking is terrible, so avoid bringing a car if you're in halls.

Standard halls with decent sized rooms. The kitchen doubles up as a lounge and has been refurbished fairy recently. If anything breaks it is replaced very quickly.
