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.

Do NOT go to these halls if you like to party. It's so far away from anywhere, the LCR is miles away, and everyone else that goes here seems to be dead boring. Wish I'd chosen the Norfolk or Suffolk Terrace. Dire.

Elm was great. The ensuite shower room was a little bit small, but it was better than having to share. It was conveniently located to Earlham Hall for me as I had classes there. It was a bit further away from the main bit of campus but I got quite fit having to walk everywhere. Our cleaner was Sue who was lovely, and would help you out if you got locked out of your room accidentally. It definitely pays to be nice to your cleaner! Our kitchen had recently been updated so we had ovens. The only negative was that there wasn't a common room and so we'd have to hang out in the kitchen. It was a small building with only 6 flats so we all got to know each other quite well.

Just across the road from the main campus (10-15 minute walk to centre of campus) so it's a great location. This flat is shared by 6 people which is a great number and means there is enough space for everyone in the kitchen. The room is a good size and has lots of storage (the bed lifts up to create lots of storage room). The only bad things are that the en-suite is a shower room so everything gets wet and stays wet for hours afterwards and the window is very draughty.

Quite pricey (as are all halls), the walk from campus isn't that bad, the cleaner is fantastic and so friendly, the nice new kitchens are super snazzy. Super social halls - no locks on individual flats means we can come and go as we please to see all our pals. Elm forever xoxoxoxoxox

The rooms are very small. And we have mold problems as well.
