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.
Read Pinewood House Reviews
It was great, however it doesn't function as halls anymore
Pinewood is roughly a ten minute walk from uni, and 20/30 min walk to town. It's situated near a housing estate and a park, so it's a nice area to be in. Also, behind Pinewood there are a bunch of student houses so there are lots of university students in the neighbourhood. There is about 8 parking spaces behind Pinewood so it's ideal if you want to bring your car (although the parking permit is around £250). If you don't want to pay for that or have family visiting, there are spaces by the park which are a maximum of 2 hours, or if you walk onto the main road (College Lane), there are lots of free parking spaces, but it's just a bit further to walk to. Pinewood isn't like your usual university halls, in the sense that you don't have 'flats'. The layout is more like a hotel, there is just loads of doors along the corridor. It's shared facilities, and they are nice! Much bigger than en suite facilities, plus you have cleaners for shared areas.
Pinewood House isn't all the bad for £99 per week. However the lack of decent cleaning in communal areas is shocking. Showers always full of hair so you end up flooding the place, mould throughout the bathrooms. Everyone in the house can hear everything. No communal area due to the lack of housing as people have to share rooms. Overall Pinewood should never be your choice of living but if you get it, good luck!
