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.

Cryfield has the best kitchens among most of the halls, the rooms are small, but to be honest compared to the bluebell/sherbourne they are just a few square maters smaller, does not really impact your living. Some of the rooms can be a bit awfull, for example the one near the entrance doors, ground floor, but look, posibility to get this room is very small :)

Cryfield is an old building and gets very hot in the summer. Narrow corridors. But the experience I’ve had is absolutely amazing. Kitchens are big with plenty of space, location is perfect (central yet quiet) and they try to group together similar people which worked amazingly for us.

Cryfield is one of the best halls on campus! Recently renovated so the kitchens are great and the rooms have lots of plug sockets. The rooms admittedly are small and it's not ensuite so you do have to share bath rooms but you soon get used to this. Even though we share three showers between 20(!) I've never had to wait and if they're full you can just go to a different corridor. It's really close to the SU so is in a great location to get to lectures. A bit far from tesco but only takes 20 minutes if you're walking at a reasonable pace. Great social life if that's what you're after, they tend to place you with others who have said similar things so if you'd prefer a quiet corridor they'll probably put you in one, but bare in mind the walls are pretty thin so if noise is a big issue for you it might not be the best. The price is amazing for what you get, I would say it's much nicer than rootes (bigger kitchens and just seems generally cleaner) yet is a lot cheaper! Common room good also

Very good experience of Cryfield, the cheap price reflects the small rooms, but the halls are nice otherwise and provide excellent value for money.

I was in the quiet block of Cryfield. While I've heard that people in quiet sections of other halls of residence can still hear the noise from noisier parts, it was generally pretty quiet for all of us except for those on the group floor. However, it's not a ghost town like some of the halls, and with plenty of people to a kitchen there's usually someone around for a chat/game of cards, with the common room being used by people who wanted a bit of a drink. Also - SO CHEAP! And we were never attacked by birds.
