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.

Amazing accommodation. I had the best stay at Plummer house, the nicest team, amazing location and room. I would recommend everyone to stay at there!
Thank you so much for the lovely review! The team at Plummer will be delighted to hear how happy you are staying with us!
Brilliant accommodation!! Lovely and friendly people, amazing staff (shoutout to the lovely Nicola and Emma who made my time there amazing and brightened every day) best student accommodation in Newcastle!!
My room is huge and clean, and the staff is quite nice in general. The location is perfect if you want to stay closer to the city center, only a 6-minute walk to Monument Station. The facilities are stylish. And the gym is a plus.
Good but could be better value in certain areas.
Plummer house has been great to live in staff are friendly and the ballroom is very fun with great space and table tennis.
The rooms are great with everything you need of course they can improve as any accommodation would but overall it was a great experience and i was lucky to stay here.
Really smart, modern and pleasant living space run by loevly staff
The staff are so friendly and helpful. Especially the general manager Emma and receptionist Nicola. They have made my stay here extremely easy. As a building it’s well managed, clean and a lovely place to live
I haven't used all the facilities here apart from the gym, but it's nice knowing that they're here if I ever need them (such as booking the cinema room). All the staff are really friendly and helpful, including the maintenance staff. I really love the reception staff at Plummer House (Emma, the general manager and another lady whose name I can't recall but is also lovely!) If i have a problem, they go out of their way to try and help resolve it. I like the fact that it has a gym so I don't need to leave the building to exercise. The location of Plummer House is also excellent - a really good base for entertainment, shopping and the university. I like it here so much that I've rebooked for a second year!
Dani was amazing, and plummer house was too
Excellent places which is clean and nice all the time.
i love shana, she is the best person in the building.
Thank you so much, we love Shana too. She is a fantastic student warden. I will pass this on to her. :)
I have been staying at Plummer House for 4 months now. I have made quite a lot of friends. The facility maintained quite well. It’s in the city center, but on a quiet corner. The main streets, spots and universities are 5-15 minutes walk away.
Thank you so much for leaving us a review, we really apprecitate these. Dannii
The location is really good close to university and all the central places. Overall the Accomodation is nice good spacy rooms the only issue is that you can’t open the windows for fresh air and the ventilation is not enough to keep the aor fresh. The stuff is friendly and you can reach them any time during the day.
Thank you so much for your review, we really do appreciate them. :)
I lived here almost a year and didn’t have hot water at all for the whole duration and still got charged £150 for re painting the walls. Manager, Dani, felt the water and pretended it was hot and when I felt it it was cold and she just laughed it off. Never tried to help me. Some of the staff are really lovely so it’s a shame but I had a terrible experience here. New management needed ASAP.
Im so sorry that you felt this way, we tke all omplaints seriously and make sure all are addressed. We have had some issues with our boilers however we have now had these resolved.
I am actually a rebooker and have recommended this accommodation to several of my friends, I can not even describe how safe and secure the place is. Plus there are alot of facilities like a ballroom, bar room, cinema, gym and more. I cannot recommend this accommodation enough, especially as a traveller I can say that this accommodation is not different than a 4 star hotel. The management are friendly and detailed, in addition there is a night security and 24/7 maintenance team.
Hello Thank you so much for such a wonderful review, we really do appreciate your time writing this for us. We are so thrilled for you to be spending another year with us. :)

Had a fantastic experience in Plummer House. The common rooms are amazing and the staff are great. Things got a lot better once the new manager arrived. Couldn't ask for anything better.
Thank you so much, great review.
Awesome experience staying here. Would definitely recommend.
Thank yo so much for your review, we really do appreciate them :)

Thank you so much for a great review. :)
Friendly staff and great location
Thank you so much for leaving a review for us. :)
the staff are the best part of plummer house
Thank you so much, i will pass this over to all the staff at Plummer House.
Plummer house is an excellent place to stay at for a student studying in either Northumbria university or Newcastle university. The staff is lovely and friendly, the rooms are very luxurious and clean, and the the communal areas are very spacious and entertaining. The staff have tried their best to keep the place COVID free, as there are no cases of COVID ever the since the pandemic has started. On the other hand, they have made students entertained with many plans during lockdown, whilst respecting social distancing.
Hi Hamad, thank you for your kind words regarding the staff. We are so glad you have enjoyed your time at Plummer House and we look forward to you staying another year, we will keep on entertaining you all but hopefully face to face going forward. Thank you :)
Great location, well-ran accommodation with numerous social spaces and events. Rooms are modern and fairly priced. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Thank yu so much for your review, its much appreciated. :)
Best accommodation in town, very refined from most aspects. Classy respectful residents and very secure with 24/7 security and a help desk. But, comes at a price when compared to other accommodations.
Thank you for such a lovely review. Much appreciated! :)
Excellent student accommodation that offers a variety of beautiful apartments as well as staff who are very professional and helpful
Thank you so much for leaving a review, much appreciated :)
I am thankful i got this experience and get to know multinational ccommunities and cultures. The Plummerhouse is full of capable professional people like raymond, Dani the manager and Jie. They are all keen to serve the students and provide the best service.
Thank you so much for leaving us a review. I will also make sure all staff mentioned recieve these commenst from you. :)
Excellent accommodation with the east location to university and the bars. The staff are fantastic and always there for us.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for us. :)
Lovely staff, great social spaces and perfect location to almost everything in city centre
Thank you so much, much appreciated.:)
The staff are so nice in this accommodation. Lovely studios.
Thank you! :)
So far in my limited period of stay here I have nothing but good things to say about Plummer House. Everything is up to expectations and beyond. The exceptional characteristics that I have to point out is the remarkable soundproofing and ventilation. Accommodation staff are very welcoming and fellow residents are friendly. No regrets and have rebooked for the next term!
Thank you for your review Damian, we have loved having you stay with us and we look forward to your company next year too. :)
I had my best memories here. I have been in here for more than half years, I met a lot of great friends here. You’ll never get bored or lonely, because the neighbours are kind and fun and the receptionists are always happy to talk with. 5 min away from the nearest Tesco and the city centre, 15 minutes away from Newcastle University. There was always a receptionist in the reception ready to handle everything that might happen. You can make friends and and have fun in communal areas. But one thing should be mention, the windows are sealed and the WiFi is moderately good (ave. 3Mb/s) and sometime crashed. Overall, it was a very wise decision to move in here half years ago.
Thank you so much for reviewing us. :)
Great mixture of different cultures
Thank you :)
Great location. Nice staff. Decent rooms.
Thank you :)
A very good accommodation in terms of management, social areas, social activities, and location! The rooms are a lot better than in normal student accommodations and the property is right in the centre of Newcastle which is a perk. Only thing I would say is that the WiFi is not the best in some room/hallways but it works most of the time.
Thank you for your review. :)
Clean and modern rooms, excellent facilities and shared social spaces, friendly and helpful staff.

I feel right at home at Plummer House! The location is perfect with groceries, eateries, shopping and social spaces only a 2 minute walk away. The rooms are equipped with every essential a students needs, with fantastic WiFi available throughout the building. The social spaces are always available if you want to chill or if you want some quiet then head to the study space. The staff are so incredibly friendly and are always available to help when you need it. I’ve honestly felt so welcome and am so grateful to have found Plummer House accommodation.
Thank you for your review of our accomodation we are so glad to hear you enjoy living with us and will pass your good feedback on to our dedicated accomomdation team at the site. Rebooking for 21/22 will open soon - keep an eye out for your exclusive rebooker offers!
Overpriced for what it is. Wouldn't class it as luxury. Windows don't open but also ventilation is awful so it constantly hot inside. Not worth the extra money they try and charge. Just don't live here. Trust me.
Covid-19: Seems all private accommodations worked remotely and still charged fully.
We are really sorry to hear that you did not have the experience we would have hoped whilst living with us and the situations you have described in your review do not meet our standards. We would love to discuss these issues with you further if you contact tenants@collegiate-ac.com our friendly team will be able to assist you further.
There are plenty of issues with this place, as good as it may seem: - Despite the novelties (cinema, gym, study room) I found myself not really using them much. - Wifi is dreadful. Glide (ISP) seem to always have faults/outages (2 or 3 times per month) making the experience with them absoloutely frustrating. Management never seem to be willing to discuss this issue with Glide, instead deligate the problem to the tennents. - Windows dont open because of the near-by motorway, so they have installed an extracter fan which is on 24/7. - Be careful when using the shelving in the bathroom as it is directly above the toilet, so things fall in very easily. - Desk in rooms is small. - The Studio plus (where I live) is too small for dual occupancy. Opt for something bigger if you are sharing. - Floor space is poorly optimised. The wardrobe could be at least a foot deeper, there could be more kitchen storage as well, there is space for it. - Youre probably better off with a house for the price.
Hi Ewan Thanks for your review. I am sorry about the issues that you have mentioned, we have now had contractors in the building to update all of our ventiation systems in each room whichh has dramatically changed the climate in the whole building. A studio plus room is not ideal for dual occupancy, we now dont allow dual occupancy in this room type. We really do appreciate your true thoughts and we will always work towards any issues which need to be addressed.
I had an absolutely amazing year at Plummer House and couldn’t ask for a better experience! My studio apartment was fantastic and everything about it was a luxury experience. The staff are fantastic and I can’t recommend this place highly enough!
Thank you for reviewing us. :)
