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.

The staff is friendly and helpful. Property has a range of facilities. However, there should be social events or trips which would open up opportunities to socialize and make friends
Thank you so much for the review. We are always looking to improve our social events to allow our students more interaction. Feel free to pass any ideas you may have on to your property team.
Lovely place to live - been here 2 years
As an international student who’s been living in student accommodations a lot, 79 Silver Street is the best so far. A new modern building, big enough to have everything you need from gym to cinema room and cozy enough to know everyone and feel part of a family who’s looking out for you at anytime. Rooms are spacious with lots of storage. Since I cook all my meals, the kitchen has everything you need (that means separate oven and microwave ;) ) and a huge cupboard to fit everything!! You can be in town in 10mins and in uni in 15mins which makes it a great location. Amazing and quiet neighborhood for those nights where you just want to hide away. Overall, highly pleased with everything it has to offer!! -Melisa
Hi Melisa, Thank you for the amazing review! Im so happy you love living here. James Mctaggart Customer Service Advisor
Been here for a month and so sad I had to leave soon! Great support and service by James and Joe, always friendly and there to help when we needed them. The accommodation is fairly new with plenty social space, gym and a mini cinema. It’s great to have friends over for a dinner gathering! Price wise, it’s quite reasonable compare to similar set-up private accommodations. Storage space is a little tricky at times but good for one in a classic studio. Would recommend.
79 Silver Street is a high quality student accommodation on par with premium properties in London. The managers and staff are very friendly and also host a wide range of activities for the residents to participate in, making the entire living experience very fun and social!
Hi Cody, Thank you for the great review. We are constantly working on new ideas to make our site even more value for money. We aim to make this the best place for students to live in Reading, any feedback is always appreciated. James Mctaggart Customer Service Advisor
I stayed at 79 Silver Street over Summer and have had a fantastic experience! The rooms are modern, comfortable, and well equipped, with fast wifi and plenty of storage space. Joe and James are very friendly and always spoiling their students with sweet treats and other fun events. This is a lovely extra touch and, in my opinion, makes 79 Silver Street unique. I'd highly recommend this accommodation to any prospective students.
Hi Charlie, Thanks for the lovely review. We are always here to help and provide the treats! James Mctaggart Customer Service Advisor
Stayed here for a summer internship. Very spacious studio apartment, great lighting, very clean, good furnishing and ventilation. Would be even better with a table tennis or pool table, but the cinema room is a great facility to have. Highly recommend.
Hello, Thanks for the review. We have listened to your feedback and will be adding a karaoke machine and other equipment in the near future. James Mctaggart Customer Service Advisor
Fantastic accomodation. Clean, modern style rooms. The gym and cinema room are great bonuses. Located at the perfect spot, right next to the Oracle shopping centre and local transport. And I'm loving the mystery mini fridge at the reception, where we are left drinks and snacks sometimes.
Hello, Thank you for the review! If you have any particular snacks youd love us to stock in the fridge please let us know. James Mctaggart Customer Service Advisor

Beautiful building, lovely staff
Thank you for your 5 star review! We are so happy you love our building, we are always here to help! James Mctaggart Customer Service Advisor
I absolutely love this accomodation! I’ve lived in reading for 4-5 years and in that period I’ve lived in various student accommodations. In my humble opinion, this appears to be the best student accomodation in the whole of reading. My room is very spacious and the layout is definitely a contributing factor, the design and decor of the room is just beautiful. It also has a reasonably equipped gym and lovely cinema. The location was definitely well thought out because it is close the university but also close to town which is a plus. Might I add that the staff are also very friendly, helpful and attentive to students needs. I really wish I could rebook but I will be graduating from masters this year! Most certainly will be recommending this to any friend of mine coming to reading for studies.
Hi Tomisin Thank you for your kind words. Student experience is always our number one priority and we're so happy to hear how much you have enjoyed your time here! Kind regards, Claire Finnerty Customer Service Advisor

-The stylish interior design and a clean environment are overwhelming -Reasonably priced accommodation in a good location. Great location with only 2 min walks to the bus stop so it is easy to get to uni and also very close to the town center. -Love having access to the on-site gym especially during winter without even needing to walk to the gym outside. There are plenty of social spaces such as study rooms, party rooms, lounges as well as a cinema -The staffs are fantastic, friendly, and forever helpful. Overall 5 star rating in all aspects! There is nothing I think could be improved as everything is superb as it is! -sabrina

This is an absolute brand new building, with a helpful and caring staff on site for you. The room is huge and bright, with a lot of space for your staff and has everything what you need and even more (your own kitchen with microwave, hob, oven and fridge and nice bathroom). It is also clean and tidy outside with a lovely secure garden with benches to enjoy the weather (however, not THIS weather). Location is also great, just in the city center. I love it here.

79 silver street is a private student accommodation that located in the middle between the town center and the university of Reading. For my experience, this is the best accommodation I've ever seen her in Reading because it has a lot of features for the money paid. It's also located in a quiet area where you can find the proper atmosphere for your life as a student.

I was anxious about moving to Reading because I was unsure of where I would live, until I chanced upon No. 79 Silver Street on the Prestige Student Living website. I was extremely excited to move in to this new building with its beautifully designed and fully furnished studios of all sizes. The staff made the process simple as they were extremely helpful with my booking, as well as my move into the building. Since I've lived here, the building has been kept clean and tidy at all times. The floors are pretty quiet which makes it conducive to study in my room as well. Close to the all the hot spots in Reading, and a few minutes away from the London Road campus, it doesn't get better than this.
