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.

Awful communication. Was promised a share as a group. We were all put separately. Chose an en suite which I only found out I didn't have when I entered the room first time moving in. Tried to ask for a change. They said there's nothing they can do, even with my group, and didn't apologise for the lack of communication. Kitchen had many broken things. Was given a list of what items the flat should have and to tick it and cross if it didn't so we wouldn't be charged. The place had no bin, no broom, no mop, so I brought them all for the flat and was told "you have to be an adult now" despite being told the list shows what the flat should have and bin and cleaning products (including hoover) was on there. The place is so filthy and falling apart. Maintenance take ages. Lift is always breaking after a couple days after being fixed again and then left broken for a few months. Fire alarm is incredibly loud and goes off most nights if not more than once a night so you never have a proper sleep
We're sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your time with us but just to address the points you've made; - We're very clear that the cleaning products such as mops, brooms etc are not included and these do have to be supplied by the flat members themselves however vacuum cleaners are available to be signed out at reception. - Sadly fire alarms by design are loud and this is to ensure everyone is aware of any potential risk within the building. - Unfortunately booking the room is not the responsibilty of the site team and if your booking was for a non-ensuite room then there isn't anything that can be done if we no longer have ensuite rooms available. I hope that other than these points you enjoyed your stay and thank you for your feedback. Tom General Manager
DO NOT STAY HERE! The flat is infested with COCKROACHES and other flats have reported rats - i have personally seen rats in the centre of the accommodation near reception. Maintenance is a joke our kitchen light didn’t work for over two months and they only fixed it because we have been none stop complaining and reporting the accommodation to environmental health because of how disgusting it is. There is water in the light fittings in the bathroom which could electrocute someone and the entire accommodation is falling to pieces. Absolutely disgraceful and not worth the money at all even though it is cheaper than most accommodations. When we moved in it the flat had clearly not been cleaned in between tenants - later that day after one of my roommates had requested cleaning two aggressive blokes with a dustpan showed up and berated us for complaining before not cleaning a single thing even though it was there job.
I'm sorruy to hear you didnt enjoy your time at St Andrews. Just to address the points you have made; - All flats are cleaned by external contractors inbetween tenancies. - We have no male housekeepers on site and when discussing this with the site team they have no recollection of the issues outlined. - I can confirm that there are no cockroaches on site and all pest control is managed directly by Liverpool City Council. If you could please provide more detail regarding the issues highlighted I'd very much like to look into them further as we've had no complaints resembling this. Thank you however for your feedback and if you have any further issues please contact the team directly and we'll happily look into these. Tom General Manager
Awful, the flats were dirty when we moved in with paint flaking off the walls as well. I had a black goo seeping up from the floorboards under my radiator. The management doesn't take any complaints seriously. They send passive-aggressive emails to all residents when an issue regarding noise, parking or the bins is reported. My shower was broken for months as well as my toilet and fridge. Absolutely appalling. The majority of the staff were friendly enough, but one of them was a proper piece of work. Rats and maggots everywhere. Lifts advertised on site - BROKEN ALL YEAR! Had the cheek to fix the shower and replace the fridge in the week we moved out.
Thank you for your feedback but I'm very sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your stay. Although the lifts have been down for specific periods of time I can confirm they have never been down for the entire year and thankfully now they have all been replaced with brand new models! I'd like to discuss the issues you've highlighted with you further so if you could please get in touch I'd be very interested in looking into them further. Thank you and speak to you soon. Tom General Manager
Nice place with a reasonable price at the good location which is near to city centre and train station.
Thank you for the kind feedback but please let us know what we can do to push tha score higher. Tom General Manager
Good price, good location and nice flat/room. Fire alarm goes off very frequently which is disturbing, reported various issues with doors that weren’t resolved. Staff very helpful when go to the office though. Few issues with hot water for periods of 2-4 days. Overall, nice place to live but few disturbances.
Thank you for your feedback we really appreciate it. I'm sorry you had issues whilst on site but happy to hear the staff we on hand to help. Please let us know if you need anything. Tom General Manager
The overall feeling is good, but the network needs to be improved
Thank you for your feedback and you'll be happy to know the broadband on site has been upgraded so hopefully these issues have been resolved. If they continue we advise getting in touch with the company who provides the service - Glide - Who will be moe than happy to help. Tom General Manager
lack of security we had random people in our flat twice, also very dirty and most importantly maintenance takes forever to fix everything. For example it took over a month to fix my blind and all lifts haven’t worked since christmas!!!! Fire alarm is also constantly going off an unreasonable amount, personally i would never recommend here for anyone but i guess you get what you pay for
Thank you for your feedback but just to address the points you've made; - The site is manned 24 hours a day and secured by gates at the main entrance but if there was an instance in which you had someone in your flat you didn't know this needs to be reported straight away! - The lifts were replaced last year for brand new lifts but were never not working for that period of time. - All maintenance issues are addressed as soon as they are reported but will be prioritised if more serious issues are being reported. I'm sorry you did not seem to enjoy your stay but please let us know if you need anything further. Tom General Manager
Absolutely love living here. Steph and Lauren on reception are so friendly and helpful, I can go to them any time with any problem and they always help me out. Great location and value for money, would completely recommend.
Thank you for the great feedback - I'll be sure to feed this back to the staff! Tom General Manager

Thank you for your great feedback! Tom General Manager
Great value for money and very friendly staffs. Could do better with the sanitation condition and probably an improvement in how fast repair issues are dealt with.
Thank you for the great feedback. If you'd be happy to, please get in touch with us regarding the issues you had while you were on site I'd really like to look into these further. Thanks again. Tom General Manager
Pretty sound, staff are good and I really enjoyed it
Thank you for the kind review! Please let us know if there is anything we can do to push that score closer to a 5 star!!! Tom General Manager
Badly run, dirty, very small flats and constant noise.
Thank you for your feedback - If you can please get in touch I'd be very keen to discuss the issues you've spoken about and try and find out more about whats happened during your stay. Tom General Manager
Rebooked my room for next year! Love it here
Choosing to stay with us again - Best feedback we can ask for! Tom General Manager
This is one of the best place to live for university students.. there is huge open space at the centre of the accommodation that feels really nice, the management team is very friendly and cheerful, they always organise some events every now and then so if you are new you can easily socialize with other people from the acco.. also there is a common room with a huge TV, games room with a ps and a pool. Personally my experience was great living here. Cheers
Great to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you for the great feedback! Tom General Manager
St. Andrews garden’s encapsulates what a student accommodation should be. Its cheap and affordable with large rooms at a reasonable price. The building itself is what i instantly fell in love with; it being a grade 2 listed building with interesting architecture. Frankly for the price you can’t get much better in Liverpool in terms of facilities and space.
Thank you for your amazing feedback, we do really appreciate it and it is great to know you enjoyed your stay with us. Please feel free to get in touch if you need anything. Tom General Manager
The accommodation is located in a really convenient area as most of the stuff u need is a 10 minute walk a way, like concert square the university campus, local stores as well as recreational areas, the building is designed to encourage interaction between each other although there might be friendship groups already created, everyone is open to welcoming you and making friends is easy if you come to this accommodation. There are yearly event such as, Halloween, debate clubs, pre drinks, Christmas, bon fire night and many more, with the ability to add more event based on tenants request so it’s really a comforting community at this accommodation, I absolutely recommend this accommodation due to price, location, socials and the history. Welcome to the Bullring!
Thank you so much for the great feedback! We always try on site to make sure that we have a good sense of community and get the students involed wherever possible. If you have anything you'd like to discuss with us please feel free to get in touch. Thank you Tom General Manager
Great flats for the money spent, very roomy good ventilation and nice amount of natural light as well as decent views so your not stuck staring at brick walls
Thank you for your great feedback! Liverpool is a great city and we love the fact you can see it all from our site. Please let us know if you need anything. Tom General Manager
St. Andrews is a great choice if you want a cheaper option that doesn’t compromise on location. The staff are chilled and friendly and make the effort to put lots of events on for students.
Thank you for the great feedback! I'll be sure to feedback to the team that they're doing a great job! Let us know if you need anything. Tom General Manager
Close to uni and homely, wish I'd have been there first year as well
Just glad you spent some of your uni life with us! Feel free to come back any time! Tom General Manager
I love living at St Andrews gardens, it really feels homely and the staff are more than ready to help if we need anything
Very happy to hear the great feedback, especially about the site team. Please get in touch if you need anything. Tom General Manager
Location is so great and i really love the place.
Thats great to hear, thank you so much for the kind feedback! Tom General Manager
I like the position of student accommodation. If the communal place is big, it’s better
Thank you for your feedback - Watch this space :) Tom General Manager
It good value for money and they try to solve the problems you have 😁
Thank you for your feedback - Things are always perfect but we'll always try and make things better! Any issues let us know. Tom General Manager
OMG. The staffs in general are great tbh. Chloe was the first i met before i moved in and she was so excellent in being patient with me when i found it a bit difficult to pay at first. Fast forwarding to 2weeks later, I met Jo-anne, a staff. I really do not think i can positively describe her enough. She was a very big help in securing a job for me. Always so cheerful, helping and listening to me. I only asked once about jobs and could not believe she helped me ask one of her friend to take me in. So far, this is the best place in terms of staffs I have ever been. In general, the house is worth it. Few disadvantages will be fire alarm going off but then, a lot of students live here. I highly recommend here as a student tbh. It's really worth it for its money and not too costly too. I wish i could write more. Just too excited about my new job, All thanks to God for Jo-anne. Such a friendly angel.
Great to hear your feedback especially about the staff! Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you again. Tom General Manager
Do not stay here unless you’re prepared to be woken up at any hour of the morning by the world’s most intrusive fire alarm. Some days the alarm went off literally 10 times, and once began ringing for 3 hours during the night from 3am. I am only making this account so that I can leave this review to ward off other students from staying here. The only redeemable qualities of this accommodation is the price and the location. If you’re prepared to be woken up at stupid o’clock every other day then stay here! There is no way to communicate with the reception remotely other than when logging maintenance requests. When you do communicate with the receptionists in person they have no idea what’s going on.
Thank you for your feedback. Please feel free to get in touch as I'd be very keen to look into the issues you've described further. Glad to hear the positives you've mentioned regarding price etc. Tom General Manager
The place is so run down it’s horrible. Only good thing about it is the location. The management staff are way too concerned about making a ‘student experience’ by doing silly things like Chinese nights (that no one is ever bothered about) instead of addressing actual issues of the building. The windows are as thin as paper and have been falling out of the frames. Rooms are incorrectly priced and run down. Every flat is completely different so you may be paying the max price for a tiny room and tiny kitchen. The staff have absolutely no idea how to run the place. Staff feel like they can enter your flat whenever they wish, unannounced. Wouldn’t stay here for £20 a week, nevermind £93.
Thank you for your feedback but sorry to hear that you haven't enjoyed your stay. Although it doesn't seem to be to your taste we have a large number of our residents attend our events who all enjoy them and make the most of the experience. In relation to any maintenance issues these need to be reported in order for the team to raise them and take action - If this hasn't happened then they can't be looked into. Regarding the issues with the windows as we've had no reports of windows 'falling out' I'd be very interested in discussing this further so please feel free to get in touch with us. Thank you again for your feedback. Tom General Manager
Great property and really great management that have looked after us well
Great feedback - Really appreciate it! Hope you enjoyed your stay with us. Tom General Manager
Good value for money! Lovely staff who try their best to bring us all together even in COVID times. Repairs and problems sorted most of the time. Deep clean in summer questionable
Thank you for your feedback! Appreciate the kind words regarding the team etc but I can reassure you all rooms are deep cleaned inbetween tenancies so there will be no issues with cleanliness. Thank you again. Tom General Manager
Pleasant experience at St. Andrews Gardens. The location is ideal in respect of the city centre. Great to consider for social living, including themed events, quiz's and different weekly activities to get involved with. Staff are always friendly and helpful, and are always on hand to help. The accommodation has been great through out Covid-19 restrictions and has tried to support students in the best ways possible. All in all, lovely place, easy access to universities and city centre, very friendly and sociable space to be in whilst at university.
Really appreciate the kind feedback! The team at St Andrews always strive to do the best they can no matter the circumstances. I hope you enjoyed your stay. Tom General Manager
From an International Student’s point of view, it is the best choice for all international students.
Great feedback and we couldn't be happier you enjoyed your stay. Thank you again! Tom General Manager
St Andrews is a great accomodation with great location being close to both LJMU and Uni of Liverpool and only a short walk into the centre of town. The staff have always been helpful and available with security in the reception 24/7. The reception is a great space for gatherings and the social events organised by the staff were always successful in getting the students together and to stay social within the accomodation community. With the coronavirus, the staff have been excellent at maintaining cleanliness and precautions to keep the students living here safe and have been quick to resolve any issues. I've always felt at home staying here and would reccomend to any students considering living here in the future.
Really appreciate your kind words. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. Tom General Manager
Excellent location in the heart of Liverpool city centre, 24 hour security with staff always present in the office, cleaner on site to keep public spaces in good order. Two dedicated maintenance staff operating 6 days a week. The only issue with the halls this year was caused by a power spike in the city grid that damaged a boiler which couldn’t be repaired due to corona; however, within 24 hours we we offered new, larger rooms with operational heating. Although overall an affordable accommodation based in 1930’s buildings, amazing staff, and plenty of planned social events throughout the year, at least when corona isn’t around.
Thank you for your kind feedback. I'm happy you enjoyed your stay with us and please get in touch if you need anything. Tom General Manager
