i understand i was unlucky with the neighbours i got, but there needs to be a better procedure for dealing with disruptive tenants. not sure if the issue is specific to chronicle house or if it's xenia students as a whole, but unfortunately despite it being adequate in other areas, the inability to deal with persistantly disruptive neighbours is one of the reasons i can't wait to be out of this room. it's a shame, but i've been here for 5 months, and i've been ready to leave for 4&1/2 of them. have updated the right people about these scary, violent incidents, the sort of thing i've had to call the police about multiple times - though they don't help either, talk about 'retrospective crimes' - and though the assistant accomm manager was very kind to me, i've been told the only option is a sit-down talk with the neighbours, which i wouldnt feel safe doing. very disappointed. they need to be more stern, because being here has done severe damage to my mental health.

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.

Private halls located in the centre of town, great to walk to Queens Park Campus or Riverside.
