Most helpful review

My time at Lyddon Hall was the absolute best. It's accessible everywhere on campus. The union is right next door, the catered food isn't THE best, but is acceptable and easy to rely on for people like me who can't cook. It was a great year with Lyddon but somehow the reception was closed too many times to count, but parcels are re-directed to Charles Morris and that's a relief. Lyddon also probably has the most spacious rooms on campus. It's got an aesthetic to it and is great to live in. Would definitely recommend it!

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 was in 13-23 Cromer. I'm a quiet person myself but the two RLA's make people's lives misery. Everyone here is either international or a boarding school "rah". The food at the Refectory is really not great at all, lack of options. The rooms are big, yes, but everything is falling apart and dirty on arrival. Only saving grace is its wifi and location. Go for a cheaper hall, you'll have more fun.

Lyddon Hall was great to live in for first year! Catered food was decent too. I didn't live in the main hall but one of the annexes - 32 Springfield Mount. IF you're luck enough to get into that one you can look forward to a garden and walking distance from the union/campus :) The cleaners are v friendly and thorough. Best Wishes. P.S. - If you plan on having parties security seems to completely forget this place so you're safe

Honestly the best halls to start your uni experience. Was in main hall so was always in the common rooms for prees, this meant you mixed with the majority of the other 50 people in main hall rather than just a flat of 6. Also the variety and timings of food provided really aliviated any stress about having to shop and cook and meant you made solid friendships as you always went to eat together

I am writing this as a resident in 13-23 cromer terrance, off of Lyddon main hall :) As this is the largest annex with 3 floors, you find yourself in a large group to go out with rather than 6 people in a smaller flat. On each of the floors there are 16 people - floor 1 is mixed, floor 2 is all girls and floor 3 is all boys. You are told that there are 2 common rooms but they are in the main hall and if you are not in the main hall, you won't really find yourself here as it is very separated. In relation to where we 'hang out' it would be in one of the 4 kitchens that are all very large which is good when everyone in the hall is gathered here before a night out - or in someones room. Due to the fact that this is a catered accommodation you mix far more with your flatmates than self-catered as you arrange to go for dinner all together and get to know each other this way as well as nights out. The food here is so nice and quite a selection.
