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.

Overall the accommodation is very good with the location being extremely handy as I'm only 5 mins away from uni, however the WiFi proves to be occasionally unreliable and better cleaning services could be provided as we where not given a mop, iron or ironing board or a brush

It was a pleasant stay at IQ due to the great location. It is a central place to the university grocery shops and the church which made ir very convenient for me. Really wish that IQ did short term tenancy contracts as well for students graduating in December as I was very keen on extending my stay till then.as I enjoyed my stay here very much.

Absolutely loved living here. The staff are so kind and work hard to learn names of residents and look out for them. They go above and beyond! Maintenance is very timely and there are lots of social activities happening throughout the year. Building is a little dated but 100% worth the price.
