Absolutely the WORST ever. It is way more expensive for its small room even I lived in a studio and too far from the campus. The managerial staff is very RUDE, arrogate and incompetent, especially for international students. You have to get used to ROOM INVASION by its staff. A million years you need to wait for any reply regarding your problems. They even increased the rent during the pandemic. It's all about making money. Totally DISRESPECTFUL. Don't believe its advertisement. Don't WASTE your money on it as you could rent a nice two-bedroom flat closer to the campus for the same price.

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.

Great choice. A bit expensive
Good place for students
I have lived in vita for a year and my experience was not at all good. Choose vita if you don't want to socialize and pay way too much for a small room. The managerial staff is rude and incompetent. Don't be surprised if you get harassed or are told that your security will be lapsed by the manager Maxine if you complain about anything. The twice-monthly cleaning hardly passes as cleaning. The social events are more often than not canceled. There were hardly 12 events that happened and paying so much for an event per month is not justified. Also, you are thrown out before time on your moving day and don't be surprised if you are mistreated and yelled at or charged extra unnecessarily. Lastly, vita escalation is no good either so don't waste your time emailing them regarding your problems.
Really awesome! Staff have been able to assist me with absolutely everything and the events are great. It's been the perfect place coming from out of Edinburgh, I have made friends and they offer all the services I have needed!
This is a great spot. Staff were really lovely. I'll definitely be back.
Vita is for students, or tourists, who go out for most of their meals so they don’t have to store much in their kitchen. It’s for people who study in chatty groups, and for the few that can write an essay in a noisy environment. It’s for those who thinks paying £5.30 is a fair price for washing and drying your laundry, or for those who can take their laundry home on the weekends. It suits the social, the drinker and the loud. It suits those who don’t expect much respect or management from their landlords, and for those who don’t mind the smell of cigarettes and marijuana.
Awesome ! Great! Lovely!
I have been living now at Vita student for two months. I really liked the welcome week and their events so far. However, they are now slacking in offering more exiting events. The staff is very helpfull and attentive. Even if the price per week is very high, it is justiefed by brand new facilities, many extras, such as free bikes, events and a room clean. The only big minus is, that you need to be very careful, what they charge you. Some services require extra costs, especially if you want to change something afterwards. They will require fees for almost everything, which is additional and sometimes they even make "mistakes" and charge you more, than agreed on. So check your licence agreement and bills carefully. I cannot tell anything about the common room and social spaces yet, if they're still being build.
