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.

price seems a bit excessive, could do with being reduced a bit. also should be options for students who don’t stay over christmas and the summer to have shorter contracts to help with financial issues especially those who don’t get enough loan to cover costs. property management is poor, if u report anything on home at halls they don’t do anything for weeks- months, showers don’t drain very well at all, our fridge lost power for 12 hours and the reception didn’t do anything until we rang them for the 3rd time to report it and it took them 30 minutes to come up. location is great , really short walk to campus but is a trek to lidl , tesco etc. social spaces are okay but could do with refurbishing ie new stuff in the games room as most of it is wrecked. wifi was unreliable a lot of the time and often slow especially on an evening during busy periods like moving in week. also can’t park car outside of ur accommodation despite a vast amount of parking spots as it’s for “staff”

I’ve been staying here since September 2021 and although it’s close to the university, that’s probably the only benefit. I’ve been woken up many times during the night by parties and just people shouting and screaming outside having arguments at 3AM and all sorts - security does nothing (and I live basically above reception). Many of us have gone without or had fluctuating hot water and heating for months - it took about 6 months to resolve this. In the meantime we were told the gym was open for those who wanted a warm shower and some people could have temporary heaters even though there were not many and reception were constant emailing to get them back ASAP. My radiator is broken - it is always cold at the bottom and makes a very lock clanking and vibrating noise (not always when it’s even on) that keeps me awake - maintenance came to look they discussed it infront of me saying they could ‘save themselves a long job’ by doing X- I regularly have to call them back about the same issue

No hot water, Wi-fi that cuts out constantly. Do not move in here this year or any other year, you will regret it.

The rooms alone are good...the rest not so much. Even when restrictions were lowered we couldn’t use communal spaces that we payed for along with a security team that walk in on students when they’re asleep (breaching contract) and follow you everywhere.
