Most helpful review

Great location and amenities but no group social space outside of the flat cluster. The fixtures and overall design was quite dreary and reminded me of an office block.

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.

Basically it’s brilliant, the view of my room is great at all. Students in my block are very nice. Furthermore, the location is really great as it is close to the city centre

i lived in old lafrowda and it was not great. dirty old building. bad wifi. wifi stopped once for 3 days. showers broke and we had no hot water or even lukewarm water for 2 days, just ice cold water. kitchen only cleaned once a week. do not recommend. but close to lectures in streatham. but good for social. felt like we werent prioritised if there was a problem or something broke. small kitchen. oven broke regularly. like 5 chairs in kitchen for 12 people. and tiny fridges and freezers for how many people are living in the flat.

On the expensive side at about £5500 for the year for a single with ensuite and £3500 ish for a twin room with ensuite but it’s a great location right on campus took less than 5 minutes to get to lectures! Each flat has a decent sized living room, sofa and 6-10 person table. Great for pres!
