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.
Read Bowsden Court Reviews
For reference Im first year, 25yo. BDcourt was my second choice mainly cause of the scenary around me is homelike. But I would say perfect for the older not too bothered about partying person. I'm in a flat of 6 females and luckily are all very tidy and of a similar standard of cleanliness. Bowsden is far out if you hate a 30min commute in to med facility and cost of the metro card, I do 4w's (cheaper). Personally enjoy it as I can ease into my day and melt out of it on the way home on the metro. The wifi is hit and miss, they tried to improve it but can drop out and facetime can be frustrating when talking to home/friends. I personally love my flat and my room size/bathroom. The security are friendly and treat you better here than say if ur in ParkV or similar uni accom (my experience). So maybe some work can be done elsewhere but honestly here is good. Additionally the bins can become really messy and overflowing at times outside which I hope won't worsen in summer (WARM + OLD FOOD).
officer are very kind，so i can do anyting easily
Nice, safe area, decent sized bedroom and ensuite. Good kitchen facilities and friendly reception and maintenance staff.
Too far out and poor reception times
(Review of postgraduate accommodation, as a fresher) Really far away from all the other accommodations, the uni itself and the city centre (spent lots of money on a metro pass & ubers). Wifi is okay, occasionally buffers when using lots of devices at the same time. The flat itself is a two bedroom (not ideal for freshers!!) but cosy, if not a little dated. Postgrad accommodation has a washing machine in the kitchen which is such a plus (saves on circuit laundry!!). Comfy double beds, sizeable rooms. Looks out onto metro tracks at the back, can be quite loud but the trains don’t run all night which is good. Very cheap, and price kind of makes up for the cost spent on travel. If you get put in postgrad accom as a fresher I would definitely recommend asking to swap into a normal first year flat of 6- luckily I get on really well with my flat mate but freshers in a flat of two isn’t easy!
I loved Bowsden! Its such a nice accommodation. The rooms are lovely and the en suites are massive! The kitchen is a bit small and the wifi is really bad. But its definitely worth the price. There is plenty of parking and the area is so cute. A really nice and different student halls
Everything is lovely here, such a nice familial atmosphere, always something going on.
Best place to live if you don't want to be caught up in the city, big local shops, 2 min walk to metro, halls themselves more than adequate, people working here are great we always have good banter with them!
it's too far away from town, good connections through the metro but all in all not worth it, go to castle leazes or park terrace. much more convenient.
Close knit halls because of its location, cheap Asda round the corner and Domino's on your doorstep is great!
The halls themselves are beautiful, and defiantly good value. However, considering that they are so far out of the city I do feel like a social space should be provided.
Brilliant underrated student accommodation. Metro across the street with easy access to university. Not too overwhelming, small buildings, family atmosphere. Loved my time there!
