Resident tutor was a bit useless and hardly ever used the common room. Cleaner's didn't do more than drop off bin bags, but everything else was brilliant.

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.

Most expensive halls at Hope. People complain it's too far away from town but I like it. Can roll out of bed and into lectures. Regular busses. Plenty of restaurants/shops/cafes nearby. There's two staff (usually 3rd years) that live in halls and it's their job make students feel welcome and help. Their usefulness varies depending on who you have. Cleaners clean areas used by everyone, and drop bin bags into flats. All cleaning within the actual flat is the students' responsibility. This varies with success as people have different definitions of what "clean" looks like. If you're clean, you're likely to find it stressful. If you're messy, you'll stress someone else out. The internet works fab but sometimes doesn't like certain devices. My social experience was bad. I have little in common with my flat. Arguments and dramas feels regular. Most my friends live in other halls on Hope Park. Luck of the draw really. It's noisy! I use earplugs. Hope this helps.

Hated living in these halls in my first year. Internet connection was really bad and the social spaces were tiny. The ensuite was tiny you couldn't swing a towel without hitting all the walls.
