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've lived at The Electra for all three years of my uni experience. Not only is the location near my campus, but it's also a quick walk to the shops, to Cathedral Gardens and to the City Center. I also haven't felt unsafe once since living here, and there were a few Friday and Saturday nights I got home pretty late. The staff who works at The Electra have been nothing but lovely, and for a student accommodation it isn't too loud or rowdy. Which is really important when you have long rehearsal days and early mornings. I couldn't recommend The Electra enough.

170 pound a week, bad cleaning, rude staff, evidently uses fake reviews, how any student in Liverpool can honestly think £170 a week is "Value for money" is a joke.

I love my studio at the Electra. The space and the decor are perfect. The location is great and the management staff is always there to help or solve any problems. If it wasn't because of my year abroad next term, I would have stayed again.
