So I’ve actually had a really good time here. The staff team is supportive. There were frustrations with the building work BUT we have been given a substantial discount off of the rent due to this. LOCATION is fab. In the centre of town. Can be hammered from a night out and get a maccies. My fries are still warm by the time I’m home. Train station 5 min walk. Bus station across the road Sainsbury’s 2 min walk Cumbria Uni 20 min walk (fat hill but it’s Lancaster) Hospital 15 min walk I was allowed to decorate (non damaging) and my studio is so spacious. I have a full working kitchen, en-suite and the bed is on hydraulics (great storage) It’s quiet as most tenants are international and all rooms are private enclosed studios. Landry room on site and key code entrance. Common area is sick. A grand staircase and the history of the building has been upheld. I’ve booked my room for next year as the price and space is amazing verses other studios in the area.

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.

Room advertisement is completely false. Management staff are rude and unhelpful. Front of building is always covered in rubbish. Can never pick up parcels due to reception time being from 9am till 3:30pm when busy in university. Would not recommend. Company also rude and unhelpful at times of need. Wifi does not work very well after waiting months for it to be sorted. Only good thing is next to bus station. Would not recommend
