Most helpful review

I loved my time here in ellerslie, it was so sociable and the common rooms are nice (TV, pool table, table football, piano, etc), I had a double room and it was so big and comfortable, and old building but really clean and fresh, refectory food isn't bad

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 would give Ellerslie Global Residence zero stars if I could. There are a number of reasons why I would recommend you to go to another residence like e.g. CitySide: - the food at the Refectory is the worst (I know this is not the fault of Ellerslie, however, you have to go there because it is part of your Meal plan) There isn't a lot of diversity, it's quite expensive and it tastes like nothing if I compare it to my home country canteen. - the heater only works automatically from 6-8 every morning. During the day and night it has to be turned on manually every 2 hours. - I can't even stand straight in the shower since it is so small. - As an international student you are most likely to live outside of the main building where rooms are smaller and outdated. - the meal plan stops at the 13th of December which meant that we weren't catered during the exam period in January (at least I could eat outside now without any bad conscience) - ... the location is great however ;)
