Most helpful review

I am a current first year and must say, freshers and following weeks are the best for hosting kitchen gatherings. But down to the nitty gritty- the cleaners are lovely, they clean the bathroom once a week and kitchens twice. The kitchen has no proper oven just a convection microwave one which can still do chicken nuggets and common student food. It’s 10 mins from the street,library,LCR and 15 into my main building queens (I’m health based). Its opposite the laundry in the medical centre (expensive £2.80 a wash and £2 dry that hardly dries so bring an airer) It’s also 10 mins from Tesco and the coop with subway in it. The room is nice, wardrobe bigger than expected and under bed is big. Desk chair is just a chair, I recommend a cushion and there is a lamp built under the shelves. The shower does it’s job but does leak into the bathroom so bring a mat and squidgy! Don’t bother bringing a loo brush or bin, they’re provided. Other than that; it’s great!

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.
