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.

Not only is Clifton Place wonderful to live because of the facilities, the people that work there make it feel like home. Natalie and her staff are the most amazing people and I am so happy to have met them! They are the most kind and helpful people that I will never forget. I would recommend this place to anyone. It's also very peaceful and the location is perfect!

Would highly recommend, it's quite expensive but you get a lot for your money - spacious rooms and kitchen area, 24/7 security, gym and cinema room access, helpful maintenance service with quick response times. Location is perfect too - at a quick walk you can get to town and campus in 10 minutes and perfect for the train station. Road noise is a little loud but you get used to that quickly. Overall would recommend.

The Facilities, such as table tennis is great. The entertainment board game is very good. Sometimes the network will fluctuate and become weak. If you find the staff for help, they are very enthusiastic and the speed of solving the problem is also very fast. It would be better if more apartment social activities could be organised. For example, some holiday celebrations.

What about the campus, I am studying in Clifton Campus and there is a nice, very cozy and comfortable area for students. There we can find useful facilities and what i like the most, a lot of really cool places to study which help to find proper mood for studying and better atmosphere. I myself prefer library spaces the most, however, there are also lots of spaces in the studying buildings. The only thing is the temperature in rooms, during the winter time it was slightly cold because of the outside weather as well. Campus location is nice for me, however i know some cases when students were late to the lectures or seminars because of the heavy traffic on the roads and buses which passed by them, but it wasn`t a problem for the students because teachers always react positively and happy to see students on their lessons.

Clifton place is a great purpose built accommodation for students with a good location in Exeter and opposite St David’s making travelling too and from home much easier. Both the studios and townhouses are bright and modern and the building always has a safe and secure feel to it. The social spaces are an added bonus and all of the staff are lovely and always deal with any issues promptly. Would definitely recommend!

Overall, the accommodation is decent and the staff are lovely. The room layout it nice and right close to St David station. The only disadvantage is that there are no lifts in the building that I am currently living in. I live on the third floor therefore it was difficult to move in.

The staff are very friendly and make an effort to know you (learn your name and house number). The maintenance is well organised and any reported issues are attended to within a few days. Washing facilities provided by circuit laundry so you do have to pay extra for that. The rent is a little pricey but all rooms are equipped with en-suite and you have control of your housemates. The kitchen areas are a good size, with a dishwasher and microwave provided, with good cupboard and fridge space per person (I lived in a townhouse). The rooms are a good size with lots of storage (wardrobe, shelving, under bed storage, 3 large desk drawers and shelves in the bathroom. The en-suite bathrooms in the townhouses have good quality showers but are a little small. The social spaces are very comfortable and having the cinema room and a gym is an excellent bonus. Very convenient location with access to St Davids train station and two corner shops, 10 minute walk to town and 15 to campus.

The best of the best accommodations, so close to the uni and a short walk from St.Davids station. Staff are super nice and always available to help out or simply to have a nice chat. Rooms are super cozy and learning friendly, a great hub to meet new people, form new connections and establish long term relations. Bedding is super comfortable and a large working space, loved every bit of it and would recommend it as the best student living space in Exeter.
