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 decent. But it’s not that clean and you have to pay for a cleaning service. I would recommend living here. The people here are nice but that’s more of the people and less of the space. Yesterday my laundry was locked in the laundry room because the door was faulty and there was no one on site to help. Had to break in to get my clothes lol

When I first moved in, there were bird poop on the curtains and stains on the carpet. The social experience highly depends on your own flat. One of the entrances is by the bin room and had loads of flies flying around. Overall, the best thing about Foundry 1 is the security. Wifi is alright for everything except for Facetime calls.

I highly regret living at Foundry 1, Loughborough, in my second year. The management team are very unhelpful, the fire alarm goes off 10 times per day and there were numerous occasions where the wifi was off was several days at a time, which is really not helpful for studying. I wouldn’t recommend this accommodation to anyone.
