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.

We have ordered the trip to the school with a group. We have paid the 20 percent pre payment. But the situation with Covid 19 didn't let us travel anywhere so we are still waiting for the money back . We have been emailing them . Noone answers. Fantastic experience

"Luxury Student Living" - No. It's dirty and stinks. The laundry room is constantly flooded, parking is full of trash and there's no one in the office. The rooms are small and poorly equipped. If you ask for a hoover, student reps will give you a golden advice of buying one. Yes, you have to buy yourself a hoover in a student accommodation. During the academic year 18-19 some tenants were lucky enough to have their rooms refurbished. The rest of us was not. We were stuck in rooms where nothing worked and payed the same price! Even if your heating doesn't work during winter, you are out of luck, because neither the onsite staff nor the head office will do anything about it. They will tell you that they are contacting the head office and trying to resolve the issue. Then they will ignore you until you raise the issue again and say the same thing they said earlier. You can try and contact the head office yourself but they won't even reply. Not worth the trouble.

If anyone thinking to move in at St. Andrew's Court please DON'T DO IT. The staff doesn't care at all if you have a problem and most of the time they are not in the building. The rooms and the common areas have a lot of damages and no one wants to fix them if you want to live somewhere and want to respect you and listen to your problems just don't choose this accommodation.

First of all it’s branded as “Luxury” but it is more like basic budget. The rooms are very run down and not clean, the building is run down, maintenance are not quick to fix faults, especially if they cost money. Only good thing is that the staff are friendly. I would not reccommend staying here. The prices might be cheap but don’t let that fool you!
