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.

Very good condition environment for learning
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this 5 star review, its much appreciated and we are glad you are having a positive experience with us!
A good accomodation for those on a budget. Ensuite rooms are quite big and the site is nice, however lack of event spaces mean socialising on site can be hard.
Fantastically located in the middle of Gloucester city centre, rooms are far more spacious than the on campus rooms with an ensuite. A nice lawn area with benches to sit out in that is lit up by the sun from midday onwards. Friendly staff and a 5-10min walk from all the nearby clubs and bars and a 25min walk from Oxstalls campus. The bus to campus is only 5mins walk away also, whilst also being only 2mins walk away from the nearby Anytime Fitness Gym. Overall, my stay here has been fantastic.
Hi, I am thrilled you enjoy living with us at Upper Quay House. Thnak you so much for the review.
The best year of my life. Massive rooms, cheapest rent and the best people
Hi, Thank you so much for the review. I'm so glad you enjoyed your time with us :)
Good experience however cleaners were incapable of doing their job
Would of loved to love there for my whole experience.
Halls are nice and good to live in! Amazing location
The rooms were very spacious and clean with ok facilities. However, the washing machines were extremely expensive and given the amount of people staying in the halls, two wachine machines were not satisfactory. Also there was no lounge areas to socialise in, which was quite problematic. The kitchen would get too hot to bare so we have to go to our rooms. Overall it was spacious and clean but other than that it wasn’t good. There was no free social areas to go to near the area as oxstalls was a bus ride away.
Pretty standard. Cleaning was fairly infrequent and they were sometimes rude. No living space but kitchen facilities fine. Location of halls was far away from the uni but did get a free bus pass.
Halls is always a blast as you get to meet lots of people from all different courses.

The best place to live EVER! Biggest rooms, cheapest rent and THE BEST people ever
Absolutely amazing place to live, room was spacious with an en-suite bathroom. Shared Kitchen was big and was a great social space. No common room or anything like that but thoroughly enjoyed living here
Didn't even have WiFi until almost Christmas. No social spaces. Not even on the campus but closer to the city
