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 am having a fantastic time here... The tap broke and the whole thing was replaced within 24hours. I think the only down side to this is obviously Covid stunted my social experience but the potential is wicked. The only down side is that the fire alarms go off at 9am every Tuesday... The halls nearest shop is Co-op at 10mins away and has all the stuff you need really. Though it's a 40min walk to Aldi for more cheaper stuff (like 30p chocolate)

Constance Stewart hall is a fab place to live , I found it really nice. Though I'd bring earplugs because it is the student hub (apart from the student union bar)

It was old and many kitchen appliances weren't fully working. The people who worked there were nice and the bedroom and bathrooms were in good condition.

When I was told I was moving into these halls, it sounded great. However, the experience did not live up to my fantasies. The social areas were, for lack of a better word, "s***". The sofas were hard and very uncomfortable, and the shelving around the TV was really old and full of dust. It was not big enough for the amount of people that lived on the floor. Yes there were two 'communal' rooms, but only one of them had actual seating, the other was just a large kitchen with a TV in. The cleaners were incredibly nice though, and made an effort to know people's names and become sort of friends with us. One of them helped with some really heavy shopping I got once, just as she was leaving, which was incredibly nice. Overall, The wifi was bad, got better whilst we were here, the cleaners were amazing, the rooms were great (all double beds!) and having 33 people on one floor let you get to know people really quickly! :D ...Just bring earplugs for godssake.

Apart from the washing maching being out of order for half a year and an incredibly loud and inconsiderate neighbour, I've really enjoyed living in halls!

The space in the rooms was great, and the social areas were just what you need. The shared facilities were always kept clean by the housekeeping staff, who were also very friendly. The internet was temperamental but I hear they have fixed that now.

More common spaces would be appreciated - I lived on the first floor and the boys just completely took over the common room and I didn't feel comfortable going in it anymore. The Internet was a problem when I lived there however I understand this has been fixed.

I love living here as its like one massive flat so there's always someone around so you won't get lonely. On the other hand, getting alone time isn't hard as all bedrooms lock :)

Wasn't easy to avoid people you don't get on with when half the building has access to the main floor, too many people wandering up and down the hall at all times of the night to get a good nights sleep and constantly had problems with the wifi. Had issues with food and kitchen things being stolen too as there are no locks in the kitchens. Being right on campus was always a plus though and cleaning/maintenance staff were always nice and got problems sorted quickly, even if something happened late at night or early in the morning. Most of the rooms were a good size for the price as well.

I lived in Connies 2012/13 when it had one kitchen per corridor but it has been newly refurbished since then and more large kitchens and common areas have been added. Double beds with shared facilities and a fantastic social experience. The cleaning staff are the loveliest people. Only downfall is the internet which is to be replaced Christmas 2015 anyway.

Halls was a fantastic experience when starting in first year. The value I got got my money was good, all areas were clean and there was always a porter on call if they was any trouble. Location was fantastic as it was just on campus and only a short walk from town. The social experience was fantastic but not 100% but that's just down to normal social experiences and the Wifi was not the best at all.

Felt lonely due to lack of closeness with other residents. More like a hotel. Only social space is the kitchen so we had to spend all of our time in eachothers bedrooms

Only issue really is the dodgy wifi which frustrates us all in halls at BG!!! Lovely sized rooms, we share bathrooms and kitchens so it's very sociable at dinner time
