Most helpful review

I have been living at Braint for the past year, and I can confidently say that it has been an excellent place to call home. The location is perfect, with easy access to the university, shops, and restaurants. The apartment itself is well-furnished and maintained, with a fully equipped kitchen and ample storage space. The building is secure, with key card access. One of the highlights of living at Braint is the friendly and helpful staff who are always available to assist with any issues or concerns. Additionally, the communal spaces, such as the lounge and study areas, are well-maintained and provide a comfortable space to relax and socialise. While there may be some minor drawbacks, such as occasional noise from neighbouring apartments and busy laundry facilities, the overall experience of living at Braint has been positive. I would highly recommend this accommodation to any student looking for a comfortable and convenient place to live while studying at Bangor University.

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.

Braint is a smaller building on Ffriddoedd village campus. It's just above the shop which is highly convenient in emergencies its just a lift ride down. The building is opposite it student bar, where there's a Starbucks in the day, food in the evenings and every Thursday a karaoke night.

Good. Expensive ish, but good for money. Had a break in but nothing was done. Expected more really. Noise isnt a problem, parties are allowed until whenever you want providing no complaints are made. Right in the middle of all amenities.
