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.

The wired internet is excellent, wifi unreliable. The halls are on campus, so attending lectures is a breeze. However: There is nothing in the surrounding area, and £650 per month for a grotty box of a room and a warped bedframe is simply not good enough.' Black mould in the shower caused by the mainataince team leaving the shower on while I was away for a week. The cleaning of the halls is apparently the students' responsibility, as I have never seen anybody clean the hallways or stairwell except us. The front entrance is cleaned by one man and a seemingly infinite bucket, as this sole bucket (somehow?) cleans 6 apartment blocks without being refilled. Astonishing technology.

10/10 recommend this accommodation if you are studying at oxstalls. Having a 1 minute walk to lectures was amazing and during your hour break you can go home and nap!

Could and should be refurbished as the price is going up on these halls but nothing new is being added. Cannot fault the location however as it is right on campus.

If your lessons are based at oxstalls campus then it’s great cause you can roll up in your pyjamas. People set the fire alarms off a lot during the first few months so there’s sleepless nights. Su bar near too but could be bigger with more things to do

Location was good because it was so close to the uni but it was a 30/40 minute walk from town. The rooms were clean (obviously if you kept it clean) but social spaces ended up dirty because of other flatmates usually.

Prime location as it was on the uni site but it was far too expensive. My room was half the size of the others but I had to pay the same price. There were 4 washing machines for nearly 250 students and the social space wasn’t overly welcoming.

Excellent. I often miss Oxstalls campus purely based on the living quarters which provided excellent privacy, fully operational cooking appliances, en-suite with LARGE study desk. Cleaning was excellent, each week. Wifi could be wired or wireless, as well for gaming consoles, excellent connection. Value for money is questionable, £120 per week during 2015 but appears to have gone up to £140 per week. Perhaps largely due to students abusing heating/water/electricity costs.

Absolutely FANTASTIC!! Despite room sharing and sharing bathrooms, the experience was incredibly fun, dynamic, sociable, freeing!! Lopes is the best first year accommodation and I wish I could travel in a time machine just to experience it for one more night
