Most helpful review

During my time at the Pittville campus it was a great experience, a short walk from the centre of town, well connected by Bus to most parts of the area and generally a nice peaceful area which is nice after a day of work or study.

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.

Except from the location with facilities in Cheltenham there's nothing good about this place. Furnitures, doors and everything else always stopping. Laundry machines literally eat your money because they don't work most of the time. If you have a problem you talk to the manager and they direct you to the security etc etc and nobody actually resolves this problem. I paid a high price to be here 648£ a month and literally had been a bad experience for me. These people are getting a lot of money from students and not giving a **** about doing their job.

I have to say that I had a positive experience overall. The location was fantastic - just a short walk from campus, with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The surrounding neighborhood was also very safe, which was important to me as a young student living on my own for the first time. The accommodation itself was a bit on the pricey side, but it was worth it for the amenities. The communal kitchen was well-equipped, and there was a cozy common area where I could hang out with my fellow residents. I also appreciated having access to high-speed internet and a study area, which made it easy to stay connected and get my work done. One of my favorite features of the accommodation was the laundry facilities. It was great to be able to do my laundry without having to leave the building, and I never had to worry about running out of clean clothes. The accommodation was also very well-maintained, with regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure that everything was in good condition.

I stayed in halls first year. Now in second and with Eden properties with my third being the student homes. The halls were good for what they are. Rooms where decent with an ensuite. Kitchen large enough for all. Although my building didn't have a lift and was what I would call a fire escape stair case which got slippy when wet

Decent enough accommodation. Staff are friendly but security is absolutely useless. Constant screaming across the entire site. Security will not care if your bicycle is stolen, and will just straight up refuse to help, even with the flashy CCTV cameras dotted about the place, seemingly for decoration.

Firstly, when I moved in my toilet seat was falling off. This is not acceptable, especially for the large amount of rent that I am paying, which is far too much. The mattress is like a rock, very hard to sleep on. The floor of the shower is dirty. The overall experience is not what I expected, the social aspect is especially lacking, one communal area without even a TV or any entertainment. The shops are also at least a 30 minute walk away, meaning it is difficult to get shopping if you don’t have a car, which you can’t get a permit for anyway. The noise levels are astronomical throughout the early hours of the morning, even during COVID times where students do not respect the rules. Overall not a great experience, I would not recommend.

Pretty decent, rooms a lot bigger than expected and beds are good (recommend bringing a matress topper though) Internet is great, the cleaning was fine although I would recommend giving it a once over. Main issues is the distance from shops and any campus, also the social spaces aren't amazing but that might just be due to Covid. Definitely seems like the most lively of the accomodations!

Great campus with firendly staff who are always willing to help. A litle bit far to walk to park but I got the bus most times. It was nice to see managers walking round doing their checks and addressing us as adults. I've been treated like a child at my last university. Cleaning is good and they even cleaned our hallway. Can't wait to go back!

In terms of value for money the only reason it is more expensive than the other halls options is due to the proximity to the racetrack. There is no sound proofing on windows or doors or if it is, it doesnt feel like it. On the old blocks (cheaper option) you can hear everyone go up and down the metal stairs as well as easily hear your noisy neighbours almost 24/7 The plumbing is quite shocking too. The water pressure was bad for showers and toilets alike. It is the furthest away from any of the actual university sites being around 30-40 min bus journey from park. (1 hours walk) Security team are almost non existent and noise complaints and concerns do not get taken seriously the most the pittville staff will do is send the occasional email out. The social “events” are mediocre at best and you'll have way more fun doing stuff in town/clubs. Overall i would not recommend going here for your first year as it is quite simply a s***hole.

A good place to live in first year to meet people, but is quite far out from the town and the uni (about half an hour walk). I lived in the cheaper, older buildings and was very happy. The newer halls seemed quite stark and soulless to me.

Different tiers for different people, if you get something in the middle you’ll be happy for what you get at £150~ per week. Decent sized room with space for a PC/laptop on the desk and a TV. Common area is pretty big with a kitchen built into it, enough storage for 12 people which is rather impressive as well.

The accommodation is very modern and is easily adapted to become your home away from home! I loved the fact that we had onsite security and reception desk that was here to help students 24/7. The halls are designed and encourage students to socialise but are also able to give students their own space when needed which helps make everyone feel comfortable

The cleaning in the kitchens wasn't at all thorough and neither were the cleaning staff friendly. Your halls have to be 'clean' to be cleaned anyways. Which, because of the vagueness of such a criteria, the kitchens were frequently left uncleaned and bins not changed.

I lived in one of the older blocks at the rear entrance. The first 2 weeks we had no hot water, but staff went above and beyond to sort the issue. We were told cleaners will come once a week to clean the stairwell but they never did. The common room was probably the least comfortable place I’ve ever been with hardly any space for people to sit. The internet was pretty standard although you need to pay for extra devices and people could easily see into my room and bathroom through the window. Sorry to everyone that saw me naked or taking a dump.

Very badly ran halls. Moved in with no working toilet. Great start. Wasn't fixed for nearly a week. Room hadn't been cleaned and was mouldy prior to moving in. The photos I was shown look nothing like my room. Can barely open my windows to ventilate room. Curtains only allow one window to be opened at a time. Staff are rude. Kitchen tap makes very loud noise and leaks. Wifi doesn't work well. The list goes on. Paying far too much for what you get. Do NOT live here!!!

New this year. Hot and hot running water in some rooms. Cold and cold in others. Great way to meet people, needing to borrow a shower.

During my first year at uni I was placed in Pittville halls of residence. It was a building site for my whole stay there, it's quite far away from campuses on foot 25-30mins approx. Staff were not that friendly and didn't care for complaints or issues. My ensuite was very unclean and dusty, one of the taps didn't work and the toilet didn't flush properly and still to the last day they didn't bother fixing the toilet. On the first day the bathroom mirror door broke and I had to pay for replacement hinges. Social space is a tiny room shared between 5-6 students, the students i lived with were very rude, loud and unfriendly and after emails of complaints and transfer requests to head of Pittville accommodation they did nothing to help with the issue. For the price of accommodation which was over £5000 a year and is increasing next year I would not say it's worth it at all, I had a terrible first year living experience.
