Most helpful review

This accommodation should be avoided at all costs, it will depress you. The vending machine is charging at an astronomical mark up, they will find any excuse to try to fine you or take away personal belongings, such as demanding all electrical items are PAT tested at the risk of being confiscated whilst only doing a PAT testing session once a blue moon at very inconvenient times. They will do 'flat inspections' where they will critically go into your kitchen and be VERY petty in critiquing the cleanliness, for instance we had no rubbish in the bins, no washing up in the sink, the floor was clean and surfaces had no stains, and yet during the Christmas break when it was likely the majority of flatmates were travelling or had already travelled home we were threatened with a fine for 'inadequate conditions' with NO indication as to what was inadequate, it is quite clear the timing and vague language that they wanted to fine us, the wifi is HEAVILY restrictive no gaming, no guests after 11

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.

Great old building. Not drafty at times and the kitchens are too small but there are 5 on each floor. Met my best friends there and easy accessible to everything :)
