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.

Wifi was good and the en-suites were nice. Bedrooms are quite spacious with underbed storage. The kitchen and living room could have been nicer but oh well.

Cavendish Place is in overall good with organised and clean rooms located in a great area next to the facilities of the University. The staff is also very friendly. However, one big disadvantage is the number of laundry machines (only 2 for the whole building) and this is something that has to be improved.

Staff barely there. No gym as promised. Washers break regularly. Reception organisation is poor and post is poorly organised. Can’t receive post on weekends or out of staff hours: 10am-6 mon-fri. Bad socially and constantly smells. Far too pricey for what you get. If you want a good halls experience, go else where.

Cavendish Place is a very well organised and clean hall. The rooms are very comfortable and also the staff is very helpful and willing to assist you with anything you may need! Finally, it is very important that it is the only hall that offers a 52 week contract!
