Most helpful review

My Altus House experience was a great one, the views were immaculate from the building, very friendly staff and service provided. The only problem I had was the size of my room for the price I paid and a constant pinging noise all round the building that was quite annoying and unbearable.

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.

The study areas are so nice to work in and so convenient when you’re too lazy to walk to the library. Only a 10 min walk from campus. Games room and gym are such a nice touch as well as the roof terrace. Nice and sociable area to go with your friends. Staff are so friendly. Whole place is very modern and a clean design

FREEZE TO DEATH, that's what the accommodation is. If you are coming from a county where is warm, this IS NOT THE PLACE. Imagine paying 8k for a room where the heater can't work above 21 degrees and your room can NEVER be warm. Can reception fix this? Well no, because the heaters are programmed like this. Will they call someone to fix it? No! People from the UK and cold countries will be fine. However, everything else is perfect!
