The value for money is ridiculous, you pay so much for so little. The location in terms of being on site and close to lectures is the only benefit, if you are big on going out, the buses only run every hour and you can miss the last bus into town. On the weekends the buses also stop early and a taxi can cost £15-20 each way. If you have any maintenance issues expect a long wait to have it sorted out. The rooms are not the cleanest when you arrive and I had my sanitary bin full from the previous years when I arrived. If you are not staying in the plus blocks the kitchens are tiny and not really suitable for socialising for long periods. In my experience I have seen 1 or 2 parties in blocks which have both been shut down due to noise complaints, fire alarms going off etc. If you are reading this and want a social life stay off site at BLACKFRAIRS accommodation it is 10x better I spent 70% of my year there at my friends whilst paying for the Limbury halls which I did not use.

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.

I have seen photos of prison cells that look more Homley and welcoming than the painted breeze blocks walls of limbury, new vicarage and rudgley halls. Prison is also a lot lot cheaper
