Most helpful review

Great accommodation. The majority of the rooms have been updated to mimic the likes of Village Plus rooms which is a huuuge bonus as you're paying £124 a week for a room that should cost £154 a week (if you're lucky enough to be allocated one of the updated rooms.) The bathroom is adequate as is the kitchen. The only complaint I have from living here is that someone thought it would be appropriate to poop in one of the flat corridors this year and leave it for the cleaners to find on monday morning. If you're a hallway pooper I wouldn't recommend this accommodation as the rest of the residents definitely wouldn't appreciate it.

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.

Don't get me wrong. a really good first room and flat but I think there is a fundamental lack of social spaces for people outside of the kitchen - that's pretty small for 6 let alone any more

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. Yes you do save some money compared to the rest of campus, but just not worth it.

The best value for money accommodation at UEA. Yew House is one of the few accommodation choices which actually contains ovens (in combination to microwaves), ensuite bathrooms (even if they are like portaloos) and is close to campus. Sure, it's a bit of a walk from main campus but once you've made friends in the village this isn't a problem.

Generally very good accommodation. Gets 5*s for having an oven, something that very few flats have in general/in the village (although you cannot choose to have an oven or not unfortunately!). Only downside is the kitchen is a bit on the small side for 8 of us.
