Hi how noisy are the student flats here. Have heard there is a night club nearby?
By member841766 On 25th August 19
The flats are quiet. Everyone is very considerate and careful with each other and noise is not something to be worried about - you will be at peace. There is a night club far down the road. The road is very calm and has a beautiful view with trees and the castle above.

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.

Thanks for your great review!
Everything works well, good experience. The heating device is not as good, turns off every 15min, doesn’t really warms up the room, especially when is winter. Although could be a bit noisy at night, it’s acceptable. WiFi sometimes works not as good, but mostly alright.
Thanks for your review. I would like to hear more about your experience, can you kindly contact me via book@hellostudent.co.uk FAO Alana - thanks!
