I was kicked out during the Covid19 pandemic because I filled out an online survey in SurveyMonkey asking me if I was staying there at the moment. I had gone home because of the pandemic for a few weeks, and when I returned they kicked me out. Apparently the online survey was a completely binding legal document (????) worth more than the contract. Fortunately I did get some of my money back. I would not recommend it, The staff is only there to kick people out, they do that immediately, but if you need a light bulb changed in your room, it could take 3 months to do so.

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.

Unfortunately, the location is the only positive thing about this hall. The noise pollution is horrendous. You can hear everything your neighbors are doing - full conversations, morning alarms, showers and toilets, absolutely everything. In addition to this, the building seems to always be doing some sort of construction project which makes the building extremely loud and often requires entrance to your kitchens and your PERSONAL bedrooms. Cleaning staff, which you pay a premium for, do not clean regularly or well. When I moved in, my room was not cleaned and when they "cleaned" it the next day, there were still someone elses hairs all over the shower floor. Front desk staff are incompetent and cannot assist with any problem. The entire building of 300 residents were unable to use laundry facilities for a week and the front desk staff did not know what to do. For what you pay, the location does not justify the cost. Live somewhere else. You'll thank me later.
The only thing George Kenyon hall has going for it is its location which is close to the library and central campus in general. There is a culture of perennial buck passing in this hall. I'm coming to the close of my masters degree and the support is abysmal. We have been left with no way of washing our clothes (apart from outside means) due to renovations which lasted for around two weeks. Generally, communication is poor. Notices are left up when something goes wrong or student life is impacted, but typically with no explanation that allows sufficient interrogation. For example, for the past two months here I have been woken up at 6-7AM to the sound of drilling due to extensive works outside the hall. Notices read "Thank you for your anticipation of understanding" and when I inquired why wasn't there sufficient notice reception advised that I contact the council, which is odd because it is university related works. GKH doesn't really care about its students,
For someone studying at williamson building, thats the perfect choice. Common room toooo small for that much people living in there, rent is the most expensive among all halls
