Most helpful review

Quality of room good. It takes a long time to resolve issues (eg heating, water issues) but not frequently occurring, but new property mgt system now.Quiet residential area; closest store is Aldi 15 mins walk, 20 mins walk to uni. "Someone being at the front desk weekly" lasted about 1 month, if that. For the price, cleaner should also be cleaning bathrooms. Mail boxes inside foyer that royal mail has access to enter and you'll have a key to yours. No bins in bathrooms, no hangers incl closet. Ethernet but no Ethernet cables. Kitchens are big but one of my flatmates only have a drawer and stores stuff on top of cupboards because of lack of cupboard space. Bummer that the contract is 12 months even though most students are in Uni for 9 months.

Q&A


Q
Room pleasant despite broken items in showerroom (fixed at my own cost), open-plan kitchen/seating area sufficed, location good for uni and fine for city centre. Residential area. Rent (716 Pounds per month) expensive but suppose the norm in a uni city. Some tenants, sadly, showed absolutely no respect for the property. Items went missing, items were broken by others incl. washing machines. Ru

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.

Awful all around. Read the google reviews, read the news about the students who had to sue, do you research and no matter what, do not validate the joke of a business by allowing your poor children to stay here.
