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.

These are the more modern type of halls on Ffridd, good sized rooms with plenty of storage and the most amazing blackout curtains I've ever had! Ground and 1st floor on the 9-16 side have really big kitchens with there being accessible rooms in those flats, so that's a plus side! The cleaners are brill, can't fault them, but the maintenance team aren't amazing - my flat had an issue with a loud noise coming through everyone's bathroom vents for 3 months which still hasn't been fixed, so it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

Accommodation at Bangor University overall is rather good, though I feel the cost is over inflated for the space you’re given.

Ffraw is a fantastic building to be in. The mentor is great, however, the cleaning service isn’t always up to scratch (the oven and hobs are sometimes cleaned incorrectly and the bins overflow often).
