Amazing accommodation couldn’t recommend it more. Lived there for two years and never had an issue that wasn’t resolved within 24 hours. Internet speed is incredible and the utilities are amazing too. Not too far from the uni and provides many parking spaces for drivers. Sad to be leaving as the staff there are incredible and always listen to what you need.

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.

Pine Mill is a really nice place to stay. However, when we first moved in there were a few issues such as a big hole in the hob, freezer drawers broken, living room blind string not attached, Now I know these aren't a huge issue but it would have been nice to move into a place where we wouldn't need to make many maintenance requests in the first few days, We have paid lots of money for this so would have assumed it would have been perfect to move into.

Pine Mill is a great accommodation for any student looking for a cheap place to stay. All the houses are well equipped with anything anyone might need from a microwave to an ironing board. The houses are clean when you first arrive and are greeted by welcoming staff. There is out of hours support whenever reception is closed in case there is ever a problem that needs to be looked at or dealt with. The location is just behind Morrisons which makes it great for late night or last minute shops, as well as it being surrounded by multiple retail parks on either side. Lidl is only a 15 minute walk away which makes to a really convenient location. It's also only a 17 minute walk from the University, great to just roll out of bed and get to uni. Overall from my personal experience, I believe it's quite a great place for students looking for a really nice accommodation that won't drain their bank account.

Very nice property with good communal spaces, very well kept courtyards with gated community, property managed by very kind staff all maintenance issues fixed very fast. The property is around 12 minutes from campus and 15 from Lincoln centre. Morrisons is round the corner too.

The staff working are always really friendly and happy to help with everything. Its often nice and quiet at night with the doors being very soundproof along with most flats keeping to themselves. Having said that alot of flats do have parties but are often very inclusive and you can barely hear them

I would recommend Pine Mill to anybody coming to the University of Lincoln, I have lived here for my first 2 years and will be living here again next year. The size of the bedrooms and the kitchen make it easy to spread out and study. All staff members have been so helpful and accommodating throughout my stay so far and have done everything they can to make sure everyone is comfortable and safe and happy. They often have little events like a pizza party for people to come down to reception and meet other people living here. The fact that the accommodation is completely gated adds that extra layer of security and peace of mind. Considering the size of the bedrooms and all the other amenities I think you are getting more for your money.

I loved staying at Pine Mill, but the best part has been the amazing team at reception. They put on loads of community events which helped Pine Mill to feel like a home.

I love Pine Mill, it’s a short 10 min walk from uni and an even shorter one from Morrisons which is really handy! The town houses are modern and beautiful inside and out and the staff here are outstanding and always are available for queries and help, could not recommend it more!
