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.

It's mostly been fine here but with a few issues. The flat was absolutely filthy when I moved in, like a very messy person was still living there. I let them know and they had another go at cleaning the place, but I still had to clean the oven 3 times before it would stop filling with smoke when turned on. They also took months to give me a key to my mail box. I asked reception about it 5 or 6 times over the course of a few months, having to re-explain the situation each time because it seems there is poor communication between staff. I had to use cutlery to fish out my postal vote form in the end so I could vote. On several occasions, when expecting a parcel, reception told me that nothing has arrived for me, and only after I have come back a few times do they realise that it had been there the whole time but had been mislabeled. I've never had this problem in any other similar accommodation. Some of my post has to this day never been found.

Nice building and I think it has great security. However the lift breaks a lot and I think it is very expensive for the size of the rooms, especially the studios as well as I complained about a few things being damaged in my studio when I moved in and they were never fixed or replaced

When I first arrived to my accommodation it was appalling - heavy dust, limescale and mould in the fridge freezer brought multiple panic attacks and deeply affected my mental health. The so called 'team' at summit reception handled my complaints poorly often giving me broken promises or lieing straight to my face. An example of this is Luis from the night shift (who stated he was part of management) saying my flat was looked at and cleaned days prior. Fast forward to nearly 6 months since I moved in very little has been done to resolve other issues like constant drug use and Anti-social behaviour from neighbours who are violating their Tennant contract. Multiple emails containing evidence and complaint letters have been sent or 'forwarded' on yet I haven't heard back within the 2 week guideline for sending complaints. This is definitely not worth the thousands of pounds a student pays for rent nevermind the increased rent as of September so I'd avoid at all costs.

Nice accommodation but unorganised room visits make me anxious about being in my own room

the room is nice but quickly you find there are a lot of cheap fittings and rush jobs. I first arrived and found a lot of Marks and stains in the room and the electrical fittings are really badly placed. having the shower switch 2inches from the floor by the bins? The extractor fan is non existent with heavy dust around it. Makes it hard when cooking fish because it quickly smells out the entire studio and requires me to then do a deep clean. The organisation of the reception is erratic at best. often messages never being sent and constant delays of maintenance because no one told the guy to come. on a positive note the space itself is nice and some of the staff you can have a conversation with come across pleasant. However I will not be returning to eastern boulevard as the price increase of £160pw I believe is excessive.
