Most helpful review

made friends for life in these halls, the rooms are basic but very clean and right outside the student union - which is good for drunken nights but not when you have to be up early the next morning! fisher house will become your home from home, but it could be cheaper

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.

Student Review: 2.7 /5

Not worth the money you pay in comparison to other halls. One common room for whole building is no where near enough which makes it difficult to make friends. Rooms are very basic and okay if you're only looking for bare minimum but definitely not something you'd call a home. Didn't end up staying at the uni for long due to transferring, accommodation wasn't the main reason but was certainly a contributing factor. One of the only good points is that the catering staff are really friendly and helpful but overall not worth the money you're paying.

Generally decent. Location for food is perfect, and is positioned as one of the closest halls on campus to town and the SU bar/shop. However, the cost of £140 a week is ridiculous when compared with Sumner houses bedrooms and Grosvenor House's overall quality completely outshines Fisher House.

One side suffers due to the Student Union bar which means you can't get a good sleep on nights such as Friday, thankfully first year is easy and if you're not going out Friday then you're missing out!
