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.

It’s a nice place to stay but when I moved it it wasn’t cleaned but overall was nice room
Thanks for your review! We are pleased to hear you have found The Bridge a great place to stay so far! We apologise that prior to moving in your room was not up to standard and will make sure this is fed back to the team along with your kind words.
bad accomodation, i payed £40 a week less last year and much preferred that. Here at the bridge when i moved in the walls were dirty, radiators dirty, bathroom drain, floor, kitchen had food everywhere even though it obviouslt should have been cleaned. This price for it to not get cleaned before new people move in is disgraceful. Also got unlucky with flatmates who don’t wash up but to be fair that isn’t the accommodations fault. I reported to the maintenance team for them to come and unblock my drain, fix my en-suite door as it keeps getting jammed which could be a serious fire hazard, and also the toilet roll holder is broken which were all reported 3 weeks ago yet still no one has been to fix them. Dont reccomend the accomodation!

My stay at The Bridge in Newcastle upon Tyne during the 23/24 term was a great experience from start to finish. The warm hospitality, convenient location near the city and my campus (Northumbria University), and easy access to amenities like grocery stores and eateries for late night cravings made it perfect. The studio room was spacious, modern, and clean, with thoughtful amenities like a big bed, ample storage underneath bed, and a well-equipped kitchenette that is more than enough for even cooking big meals. The facilities, including a common room and quiet study spaces, were top-notch since it's always clean and comfortable, so I won't need to go out if I need to chill or do some work, moreover, the events like therapy dog visits during our exam week and hosting DJ nights and providing drinks during Christmas break made it feel like home. Overall, The Bridge exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it for a comfortable and memorable stay during your study as a student here
