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.

mouldy, undermaintained houses. shower leaks through the ceiling causing electrics issues with the lights and plugs. unacceptable turnover for maintenance. we waited 4 months and counting on a job to replace mouldy, falling apart kitchen cabinets (that are literally from the 90s) and sink. very old fashioned appliances ( why is the kettle so rusty on the inside??) . insane double standards to the on campus accommodation. plus paying exactly the same as people at st davids with updated, modern kitchens?? i guess the shuttle bus is decent and you are close to town, but realistically no safe routes anywhere to uni or town as the train station and neighbouring establishments are kind of dodgy. even university designated paths are dodgy and I would never walk them alone.
It's best place for the students
I’m writing this in my third semester of living here. Honestly? Do not bother applying here. While I understand certain things were out of the control of the university as the year I lived here was during the pandemic, but frankly there’s plenty of unacceptable things. To start, everything breaks. A list of things broken include, our fridge freezer (spoiling plenty of products), our showers (multiple times, I think around 6 between the two), most of the double glazing windows’ sealant is broken, one of the parts of our countertop, and many lights. Each and every time we contacted maintenance it would take over a week for them to inspect it, let alone fix it, if they did. The sealant on our windows (this moisture build up on the inside which caused black mold growth in two of the rooms) has only been repaired in one room (the one with the most mold). Honestly? Go to another halls. Or go private. You’ll at least get your money’s worth.
Your experience will basically depend on who you're put in a house with, can be great living in a house if you're with great people but if you don't like your housemates it's very isolated. Living off campus isn't great but the shuttle bus is reliable. Cheapest accommodation and there's a reason for that.
It is a bit far from Streatham Campus but great for social life, especially for parties. There's a bus that takes to campus in the morning and the afternoon. Right in front of St Davids station, so very handy if you want to travel often. A bit far from the clubs but really close to The Imperial and taxis to go into town are quite cheap! The big supermarkets are far but there's 2 small shops for urgent needs.
Easy to socialise with other houses and cleaner is very good!
good value for money- not that great socially
Tough walk every morning to centre of campus up st davids hill but by the train station which was advantageous as I used it a lot! I don't know about the houses but the flats were dull and had no character, looks like an old peoples home! However it is very easy to socialise and getting to know everyone in the building is easy.
