I don’t think words can do justice for the service provided by BTC’s staff. I’m in awe of having such an ideal experience. Sharon Clifford has set the bar so high for an accommodation manager; it is rare anyone will be able to provide a service to match her level. Sharon has been like a mother to me and as a reserved person that means a lot. Sharon really goes above and beyond for the students and she’s so caring and considerate. To say he does her job role justice is an understatement. I honestly believe she deserves a salary raise. She is such a huge asset to NOW and you really should appreciate this star among you. Thank you Sharon for being so amazing, I won’t forget you and the incredible experience you provided students with. It’s not everyday you meet such incredible people who genuinely care and know exactly how to treat you. Thank you so much. I also want to take the time to add that Anishka her assistant who was a new member of the team is also a shining star.

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.

As a mature student, finding any accommodation where you feel like you fit in is extremely difficult, or so I thought, until I miraculously discovered Between Town Courts, where efficiency and reliability are fundamental factors. The team are always on hand to provide any assistance when necessary. What makes Between Towns Court Student Accommodation outstanding and has kept me rebooking since 2020 is their mantra of "Our home is now your home." Without Sharon and her team, I would probably be like you, in bog-standard accommodation where you are treated like a rent payment, not an actual person.

Very nice accommodation. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a student accommodation in Oxford. Its location is so convenient, close to shops where you can get your groceries within a walking distance. The admin is phenomenal. The WIFI also never gave me any issues.

Sharon, Lucia, Ania, and Ian work diligently to bring as great a tenant experience as possible. The ASK4 internet service Between Towns Court (BTC) utilizes is both fast and reliable, any problems are dealt with by a very competent support team. There are numerous leisure spaces for you to hang out in, including a ping pong table and a pool table. Hopefully, by the time you're reading this review, the convenience store situated right by the main entryway to BTC will be open too.

Convenient and cleanly accommodation with the loveliest staffing team :) Sharon and her team are extremely accommodating and everyone within Between Towns is friendly. The amenities are great, the whole place is clean and tidy, free use of social spaces, plenty of choice in rooms (even accessible rooms for those needing them), within walking distance to shops and bus stops (literally on the U5 bus route), and you feel very safe and welcome here :)

I enjoyed living at BTC so much for a year that I decided to stay for another year regardless of a long commute to my university outside of Oxford. It’s more important to me to live in a place where I feel safe, I have wonderful flatmates, and Sharon and her team looks after the building and the well-being of every student. I’ve had a really positive experience and will be sad to leave here when I graduate!

This accommodation is great on the whole, the staff, especially Sharon treat you like you’re one of her own. I like how modern it is and i like how close it is to the shops. This isn’t the most pretty of areas but it has eveything you need. It is very expensive especially as there is not a gym which would be nice. The social aspect is lacking a bit and i’ve not made as many friends as i wouldn’t liked but i enjoy how peaceful it is especially after stressful days. I would definitely recommend it here however.

Between Towns Court is a wonderful place to live with an accommodation manager who truly cares about her students. Sharon goes out of her way to talk to every student and make sure everyone feels at home. The building is new, the rooms are spacious and you are put with people who have a similar lifestyle to you. I’ve had a wonderful year living here and wish it would be for longer!
