Most helpful review

Everything is really good but had a couple of issues. One being the lift broke down with me and 2 friends in it and no one knew what to do really. Other problem was the flat I lived in had some issues and the security either never came or would take hours to come. Other than them issue I think sanctuary students are really good and I have even booked again for next year.

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.

Moor Lane Halls is one of the best student accommodations in Preston. It is very close to the University (less than 5 minutes walk). The rooms are equipped with ultra-modern facilities. I will highly recommend for any student that wants a cool place to stay while in school.

I pay £99/week for an en-suite with a small double and think that it’s really good value for money. The bathroom is a decent size / big shower, as well as lots of storage in the room including under the bed. The kitchen and living room are huge with plenty of seating for everyone! The social spaces are very adequate but the recycling facilities aren’t brilliant. However, in saying that, I am 90% sure I’ll be staying there next year also for my 3rd year.

Always have good deals for students struggling for money, so it's my second time in their standard accommodation. Nice to have onsite laundry, common room and gym, which is rare for halls of this price. The bedrooms are very roomy with a double bed, and there's a separate shared shower and toilet room which makes things much easier. My main concern is that the bathroom has no proper ventilation so mould grows quickly and is a pain to remove. Once you can get used to climbing the stairs (if you're on the top floor like me), it's mostly well worth the money when you can get the price reduced (I paid £65 a week this year).

The accomodation was cleaned regularly and any maintenance issues were resolved promptly. The common room could have benefited from being open 24/7 given that their was on-site security nearby at all times. The Wi-Fi connection could be spotty for periods of time, but any known issues (such as maintenance) were given enough warning beforehand. Staff were pleasant and efficient at their jobs.

Moor lane halls has been an amazing place to live and I have chosen to live there again next year, recommending it to all my friends. The office staff are always very welcoming and inviting and are happy to help with any issues or queries. The maintenance crew come over to the flat as soon as you call them to look over the problem and even fix it then and there if they can, even with larger issues they will keep us updated and let us know when they will sort it out for us. The rooms are not as claustrophobic as some accommodations and have lovely grey and white furniture. The kitchen is spacious and have never had a problem storing all my kitchen stuff and food, it has a massive area for food prep and a tv area with couches. The pool table is a great way to speak to new people and also enjoy a game with flat mates for free, always a good way to break the ice if you all don’t know eachother. The gym is also a great bonus, free and no walking distance.

I have stayed here the whole time I’ve been at university and I cannot recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived i had a positive experience. The staff were friendly and helpful with everything. Everything was easy to book and arrange, they even allowed me to arrive early. Any issues I have had with flat mates they have been there to help with. When I have had hard times with my course or flat mates they have supported me. The accommodation is standard but for the price you can’t moan at all. Still the cheapest accommodation in Preston and so close to all local amenities. I’ve loved staying here and will miss the staff and friends I’ve made whilst living here.

Loved the 3 years I’ve stayed here for. Absolutely amazing staff and are always there to help with whatever you need. It’s so close to everything you need as a student and I’m definitely going to miss living at Moor Lane. I’ve made amazing friends living here and if I’ve ever had a problem with maintenance or anything it’s always fixed as soon as they can.
