I recently moved into Optima, and it’s been an absolutely wonderful experience so far. The design of the apartment complex beautifully balances aesthetics with practicality for student living. The rooms are spacious and thoughtfully laid out, offering a comfortable and personal retreat. What impresses me the most is the overall environment and the amenities tailored for students. The sense of community here is vibrant and welcoming, making it incredibly easy to settle in and meet new people. Additionally, the management team at Optima is superb - always approachable and quick to respond, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable living experience. I am thoroughly pleased with my decision to live here and would highly recommend Optima to any student seeking a great place to call home.

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.

Its really good accommodation to stay so i would recommend to friend if anyone is coming to loughborough
Lovely management. Nice living space
Right in the city centre, perfect location, everything within 2-3minute walk. Great manager, great service , and very large and well laid out studios (Gold). With all bills included in price and dual occupancy for free you can't ask for much more.
Overall the experience is quite good in terms of privacy and security but it does lack social places where we can invite friends and have fun
