How do you rate Broadgate Park?

Most helpful review

Im so glad I chose to stay at Broadgate Park as a 1st year student. It is better than I expected - the rooms are clean and large with all the facilities I need (ensuite shower, kitchenette, dining table, comfy bed, lots of storage). Everyone in the Broadgate park office and on the helpline are so helpful. I have made so many friends at Broadgate and I love the location (it's close to a supermarket, to my lecture hall and to the sports village). I have booked to stay in Broadgate Park for the next year of my course. I highly recommend it.

Q
How secure is 'Lower Courts'? It is separated from the main site by Broadgate and reviews suggest smaller kitchens, older buildings and rooms. What are security arrangements?

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.

Live in an older building, has a fair amount of electrical issues and power outages but staff are quick on the ball and fast to help.

Great location for those who don't want to be in catered halls for their first year as it is literally just outside of the gate for University Park campus. Standard room is relatively good value for money as there are only 5 people in my flat but we have 2 bathrooms between us so there are rarely issues with needing to get into the bathroom. I like hanging out in the social spaces with my friends as it means we can watch TV together. Dream of a living room in my flat though. Would be good if the common room was a little more updated as there are a lot of missing/broken stuff in there.

I was only there for one semester and for that it was okay but I wouldn't want to stay any longer. I was in a studio appartment. It was often cold because the electircal heater couldn't produce enough heat to warm up the whole room. The kitchen is very small and unpractical as well as the bathroom. I feel like it should be better quality for the amount of money that I paid to stay at this location. Also the bed and the mattress are really uncomfortable.

My flat is near campus, so it's very convenient for me. Usually, the environment is quiet, which is another benefit of living here.

Overall good experience. I’d say this location is the most convenient self-catered accommodation if you are on Uni Park campus, but it is realistically not 5 minutes away as it suggests on the site; if you are a STEM student you will probably have to walk 20-30 minutes as the buildings are further in. Additionally, there are always a range of different ResX events going on near the Courtyard where you can meet new people involving arts and crafts, free food, or workshops. The ResX ambassadors are always really friendly and helpful too.
