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.

One of my fav things every morning is talking to Julie, the manager there. She’s not only someone who looks out for us but she’s become my therapist and personal life advisor. She brings a smile to the entire building. She’s great at solving problems including giving relationship advice.
Julie is the best and the most helpful person in the building, she always get all our problems fixd.
The Union is a beautiful and homey property. The staff is extremely gentle, caring, and warm. Julie is the sweetest person I’ve ever met, she’s ready to help out with anything and has made my stay here extremely comfortable. Allan is extremely chill, funny and always on top of maintenance (solid job!).
The best off campus accommodation in the area which gives the full university feeling. A comfortable, easy and straightforward place to live. Julie is fantastic and really goes above and beyond. It's awesome
One of the finest off campus accomodations near warwick and a home away from home. Always welcoming thier tenants and bent on solving any issues they face during their stay. Lovely inhouse team with friendly staff
Do you think you'll miss the feeling of staying in a dorm, w ur flatmates, friends & college fraternity? If you don't want to stay in an apartment, far away from all your friends, seeing only the same 3/4 faces everyday that you choose to live with in an apartment? Then I've got a solution for all your problems: stay at The Union. I can say with full confidence, that if it weren't for this place, saying that my 2nd year experience at university would be *different*, is an understatement. In less than 2 months staying here, thanks to the common room, the pool games and everything in between, I've made friends that have started to feel like family - people that have made my uni life so much more worthwhile, and it's all because I chose to stay at The Union, because I can say with confidence, that I wouldn't have met even half of them, had I stayed anywhere else. Union is ideal for 2nd year accom, don't look anywhere else. PS, Julie is the sweetest staff member you'll find anywhere!
Julie is one of the best hosts i have seen till now!! very warm towards everyone
I love staying at the Union! Julie is the sweetest and nicest staff member, and she always welcomes us back so warmly.
I would like to assure all the freshers that do not look beyond the Union because it is a great place to live and spend your uni life.

In terms of convenience and entertainment too, there is nothing to worry about and the Union has got you covered!!
Must stay student accommodation. Julie is the most welcoming host with exceptional skills. She is very prompt with responding to any queries and problems. Never is a situation left unresolved, she is very helpful and wise. It’s always delightful to have a friendly face around the blocks.
The union is a great & modern accommodation. The rooms are all really great and the reception staff are super kind people. Being near the canal gives us a real good view too.
The union is a great space to stay with a lovely community. The rooms are very modern and homely too. Also, the main advantage is the receptionist Julie who is a main asset to the accommodation and is always welcoming and willing to help. I 100 per cent recommend staying at the union.

The landlord does not behave unreasonably and the receptionist Julie is an absolute gem!! Julie takes a personal interest in each one of us. She makes sure we have no maintenance issues and checks in every now and again to check we are ok . If you ever feel a little lonely or just bored she's always happy to chat with you (which myself and multiple friends have done many a time!).
Property managers helped a lot with pest control issues and were very supportive. Maintenace work is done perfectly on time without any delays

The Union is a luxurious student accommodation which entails high-level security and friendly staff that are there to help with any problems you may have. The fully furnished rooms come along with a nice private bathroom. Moreover, the kitchens are equipped with high-end equipments and are extremely spacious. Besides, the common room is a very vibrant place to get a change of environment and there are games and books kept for leisure purposes. Lastly, having supportive receptionists who are constantly there to deal with any queries, helps create a more comfortable environment.

Very accommodating and the front desk staff are always happy to help! Short walk away from Leamington train station useful for commuting to Warwick Hospital/Coventry/Rugby/Birmingham/London!! Be advised you cannot leave your room early for the summer unless you find a replacement.

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so glad you have met such lovely people and enjoyed your time. Many thanks, Emily Dewis
I've lived in the Union for two years now, and I love it. I've been able to keep the same room for both years (and hence I don't have to move my stuff out), which has saved me so much time and money. It's a really modern and well-furnished building; particularly the common room which is also kept spotlessly clean. I also feel very safe here — there is CCTV around the building, and the private car park is gated too. It's in a very convenient location for buses, and the Leamington Parade is only a short walk away. Another highlight is that all utilities are included in the rent, including the ultrafast internet connection — having all bills included has saved me so much time and hassle. In short, the Union is a great place to live, work and socialise. I’d wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.
Hi, Thank you for leaving us such a lovely review, we are glad you love it here! Many thanks, Emily Dewis
I 100% recommend it. It's never noisy and always clean. The Union team is always really friendly and approachable! I really enjoy living here

Lack of weekly kitchen cleaning.
