Springfield is currently being done up from the old look. Everything was lovely and there was spacious rooms.

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.

Springfield accommodation is very old but is right in the centre of the uni! This is very useful! There are no social rooms or large kitchens as it is catered accommodation. This means that there is not a place to chill with friends but just keep your room tidy! Rooms all vary in size but are not small. The showers are fine and sharing between 6 is not hard. This also applies for the toilets.

Okay despite not expecting much and the Springfields slowly being refurbished they arent completely awful to live in and ive enjoyed my stay in Springfield 2! First things first, they are the oldest halls at the uni and the most outdated. Springfields 1-4 all have single glazing and my window actually fell out where the wood is so old on the frame. The kitchen is tiny which is expected due to being part of the catered halls and there isnt any wifi in the buildings (only if you life in the self catered buildings are there) but you can easily set up your own wifi if you have a router or a Apple MacBook Pro. Each room has a sink and a mirror and all in all its great to live in. As long as you get on with your housemates you wont care about the room!
