Sherwood was great! Had such a good time and met loads of new friends there considering the lockdown restrictions. The location was good as it was right near the gym and not far from the coop either. The only downside of the hall was the food which was absolutely awful, the chefs should be embarrassed of what they cooked for us!

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.

A great way to make friends in catered halls is easier. However, you need to come out of your comfort zone and it will be easier. New place and that.

Best all-round hall on campus, close to sports centre & bus stops. Regular formals and nights out make it great fun.

I don't think the food is great and many students would agree that there's never really enough - however catered food is the same throughout all catered halls. Depending on where you study, the hall is 10 minutes walk to the biggest library on campus, 10-15 minutes walk from most of the buildings where lectures take place. It is right next to the new gym however, and has a bus stop less than 2 minutes walk away on the main road behind the hall, so bus journeys are often preferred over tram journeys (both tram stops are around 15 minutes walk away). All hall staff are friendly - my only complaints are that it costs extra to stay/use your room over the holiday period, and also costs extra if you want to leave belongings in your room. I only had one day to move in after the holidays before the start of term. Wifi always disconnects but ethernet connection maintains a good speed - many gaming ports are blocked on the wifi but not ethernet.

I really like my hall as it is small but that means it has a lovely community atmosphere. It isn't the nicest hall in terms of aesthetics but you're bound to form great friendships here. Food is of a really high standard and the staff are amazing

Arguably one of the nicest halls on campus. Food is delicious and the facilities on offer are great. Being on the door step of the new sports centre is a major perk of being in this hall. Couldn't ask for a better uni experience !
