Pretty good place, my only complaint is that the shower is quite small. The staff is amazing, especially Amir, but you keep taking him to Paradise. We want him here at Sherbourne!

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.

Sherborne is a great place to stay when look for a studio in coventry. Staff are very friendly. Close shortcut to the train station and bus stops are right outside.

1. Staffs here are very friendly and always willing to help. 2. My studio is pretty soundproof, which is ideal for students who are easily disturbed during sleep like me.

Sherbourne, although being one of the nicer (and more expensive) accommodations - is also quite possible the worst located. The walk to campus is only around 10 minutes BUT for anyone who studies in the life sciences building...beware as you'll be in for a trek. The social scene at sherbourne is surprisingly good as it has a communal feel and it's easy to make friends in your blocks, although you can feel abit isolated from the main campus. The actual accommodation is very modern and spacious, aswell as this - sherbourne provides a good environment for revision purposes as it is not exhaustingly loud at night (could also be considered as tame). Aswell as this I've found that the wifi intermittently drops out and as a result I've used a lot more phone data over the term - costing more money. Overall I'd say the comfort that you get from living in sherbourne makes up for the location and the social orientation of the blocks makes it worth living there!

It's a bit out of the way but it's a very pleasant walk when it's sunny. It's located next to jogging tracks, which is a plus! You get a good community feel to it, you'll get to know a lot of people in different blocks. The rooms are super nice, very modern and not to mention it's ensuite!

Sherbourne may seem the furthest away but in all truths that just means you're doing a little exercise walking to and from central campus! We have by far the nicest looking accommodation, our kitchens are the nicest on campus and the architecture is just amazing! The fact that you can see into other kitchens seems intrusive to some but it helps foster togetherness, you know everyone in Sherbourne and there are 6 blocks with 8 flats in each and each flat can have 9-12 people!! Great social experience

Good value if it were near the centre of campus, but it's not and therefore bad value for money.

Such lovely modern accommodation, right next to lakeside netball courts and a short walk to Westwood sports pitches and the post room. Number of students to a kitchen is good and the kitchens are massive with a lot of light entering through the full length windows. Bedrooms are a decent size with good heating. Rooms are very soundproof so can easily concentrate on work. The residences are slightly further away from central campus so I would advise a bike but this shouldn't be a reason to put anyone off!!
