Most helpful review

You live with only 6 people, and have a sink in the bedroom which makes life so much easier, the kitchen for such a cheap accommodation is very big with lots of storage. The only problem is that the walls are super thin and if you live on the ground floor, you have to walk through the kitchen everytime you want to use the shower.

Q&A


Q
Hello, I would like to know if you can put some staff under the bed. Our son was last year to the south tower with plenty of storage. I believe that the layout and equipment of the room seems less optimal to us. So here my question : can the bed be raised with legs of beds, up your mind?

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.

Nice kitchen, could do with a social area though. Rooms nice with sink in which makes the shared toilet bearable. Nice homely layout with up and downstairs.
