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.

This accommodation has a high reputation which it does not uphold. The rent is ridiculously high for an accommodation which doesn't make you feel that welcomed or have the right facilities to ensure you have a comfortable stay. The rooms are quite small and some don't have opening windows. The shared spaces are always dirty when you move in, same with the social areas.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience has not met your expectations. Maintaining a welcoming environment and clean facilities is a top priority for us, and we regret that this hasn’t been reflected during your stay. We appreciate your comments regarding room sizes and the cleanliness of shared spaces, and we’ll ensure that our team reviews these areas for improvement. If you’d like to discuss your concerns further, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly—we’re here to help make your stay as comfortable as possible.

I recently stayed at Nova Student Accommodation and was blown away by the exceptional service provided by Emma, one of the concierge team members. From her warm smile to her helpful recommendations, Emma made my stay truly enjoyable. The accommodation itself was modern, clean, and conveniently located. I highly recommend Nova Student Accommodation to any student seeking a comfortable and welcoming living environment. Emma's outstanding service truly made my experience memorable.

What a lovely review! Emma and the team at Nova will be delighted to read this, and we are so happy you are pelased with the sevrices provided by the team. We are so glad you had an enjoyable stay! Thank you so much for the reccommendation and review!

Great bunch of people great atmosphere lovely building top class
Nice accommodation . Facilities are generally clean.
Nova has amazing social spaces. Great for chilling and playing air hockey and pool with friends.
It was okay but due to covid I think it was not as expected

We agree, it has been a difficult year. We hope you enjoyed our online events program. Hopefully next year we can return to putting on great events for tenants to enjoy! Thank you for leaving the review.
A very good premium Student Halls, you get more for paying more.

Thanks for the great review!
so many issues with this ‘luxury’ accomdation firstly the laundry room is like a casino half the time the machines don’t work and have lost over 15 pounds in one wash, never seen a sign ever saying which one works we had issue with a whole in our flat that was leaking moisture from the roof that took 2 weeks to repair There is much more i could write like this, we have almost had a problem with all the electrics in our kitchen our microwave for example was never fixed NOVA- overpriced, small and very very poor service not worth the money at all- not even close

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. If you are struggling to get in touch with the laundry company regarding problems, please pop to reception and we will help try and resolve the issue. As with all of our maintenance jobs, we keep a record to make sure we are putting things right. If you have any outstanding issues we will be more than happy to rectify them. Just let us know!
Good location and lovely staff, but really slow maintenance. Had to wait 5 months for fridge to be fixed. Other than that nice rooms and flats

Thank you for the review!
Nova has been an amazing experience. The facilities are top notch and all the communal areas are well designed and beautiful. The staff are also very pleasant. I would definitely recommend someone stay here.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review!
was a pisstake not having water for ages, issues with the appliances, not cleaned properly from previous tenants, not being given a rent reduction or any compensation for issues within the property but were given free energy drinks/desperados for 2 weeks.

Thank you for the review. This doesn't sound like the serivce we aim to deliver. If you would like to discuss this further please speak to a member of management.
Nova Staff are the highlight of my stay and everyone has gone above and beyond to accommodate me

We like to try! I'm glad to hear you've enjoyed your time with us. Thanks for the review!

We love our social areas as well! Thank you for the feedback!

Great facilities, very close to NTU. Maintenance quick to fix any issues in my room. Issues with hot water but was fixed eventually.

Thank you for the review!
It’s the most amazing accommodation ever

You'll make us blush! Thank you for the wonderful feedback!
Great place to stay and meet new people! Love the location!!

We agree! Thanks for the great review!
The price is pretty high for the 3-6 people flat. I know the price increase every year but it's too high compared to my first year at Nova

Thank you for the feedback!
Wish the prices were lower , left my items with the staff once and they got stolen SOMEHOW and never got compensated or anything , lost over 1500£

Thank you for the review. This doesn't sound like the serivce we aim to deliver. If you would like to discuss this further please speak to a member of management.
The location of Nova is great for Nottingham Trent students, really close to the uni and the city centre. Reception are helpful and are there to assist and are friendly. Social spaces are cleaned and sanitised often. Social spaces have been limited recently but usually when open are good to use. Staff send out emails for social events and online zoom events to get people involved. Wifi is good, have not had many problems with it but takes a while to sign in and set up, also only can have a certain amount of devices. Overall i think the quality for money is a bit pricey, prices have gone up over the past year or so, rooms could do with slight refurbishments for each new year. There has also been problems with heating and hot water but these have currently been resolved.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We will be sure to take it on board!
Really happy with the service, thank you!

Thank you for the great feedback!
I have lived at nova for six months now, had issues with there being no hot water for some time however the staff are lovely and helpful. I look forward to staying here next year!

We are glad to hear you are looking forward to satying with us for another year!
Sohail is not here anymore so i am leaving next year. BRING SOHAIL BACK. i am only staying because JACOB is here !!!!!

Thank you for your feedback. We will be sure to let Jacob know he is a favourite of yours!
Fortunately, I chose nova, which is a very good place to live. 🎉It can be reached within 10 minutes on foot when I go shopping. It is also very convenient to go to the campus of the University of Nottingham. There is a bus stop in front of the apartment. The staff are very enthusiastic and responsible. Living here makes me feel safe and warm. I hope I can live happily in Nova in the next year.

Thank you for such a lovely review. We are glad you chose Nova and enjoyed your time with us!
I am in a 5 bed flat for 2019/20 and even though they say they will match you up i was put with all 3rd years even though I am a first year. There were maintenance issues I raised within the first week that by October were still only being completed as the site only has one maintenance staff who has little knowledge about anything and actually asked me to phone up a company on my phone to ask them how to fix an issue with my tv and internet in my room. Nearly everything in the social spaces is broken and doesn’t work such as the air hockey table pool table fusball table and photo booth in the party room are all broken. The free printers we are meant to have in the study room still do not work and are awaiting to be fixed so the whole first term we have not been able to use this. No social events have been arranged by the accommodation as stated before booking. I would definitely not recommend Nova especially as they are upping prices by £10pw for next year!

Thank you for the feedback. We aren't currently experiencing any issues with the quipment mentioned. Please see our friendly on-site team for any help!
The student service is pretty good! But I hope you can provide the service that clean our kitchen, and provide vacuum every flats.

Thank you for the feedback!
I have living since the start when it was newly developed. The karaoke room doesn’t work at all since a year, staff needs to be more patient with International students. Offer price freeze for students who are going live there for the third year now. No social events this year as well :(

Thank you for your review!
Although I enjoyed my stay, I had a lot of issues with management. For 2 months I was complaining that my door lock wasn’t working and it wasn’t changed, forcing me to leave my door open most of the time with something keeping it open. Additionally My shower and sink were blocked for the better part of the first term and while I continuously was told they’d be fixing it; only when I went off for Christmas did they tell me that it isn’t their responsibility to unblock them. While I do appreciate this and respect it, I would’ve appreciated more if they had told me to begin with so that I didn’t have to wait months for it to be fixed as I did not wan to tamper with it and further cause damage - wasn’t too sure that their diligence was due to the fact that I paid in full and therefor didn’t necessarily care to takes care of the issues I had. That being said The social spaces are very well maintained and I really did love the room I was staying in for both the years.

Thank you for the feedback. With 24 hour concierge if you ever need any help there is always someone here. Please let us know in future is something isn't working as it should.
Very large rooms, great common rooms and events every month if not ever week. Great value for the price.

Thank you for the great review!
