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.

Whilst it is situated in a nice area within Sheffield, the block is a good 30 minute walk from the campus with the nearest shops being 15-20 minutes and those shops are limited in size and stock. I've greatly struggled to socialise here and feel as though I haven't gained anything by being here versus private accommodation, which is generally better value for money, or home

Apartments are much nicer and cleaner than those in Endcliffe, and the social experience is pretty much the same (uni is what you make it) Ranmoor does however have a lack of social space since closure of the ridge. WiFi can be temperamental but is usually very fast.

For first year accommodation the kinder apartments were pretty good although the university accommodation in general is a little bit expensive. However, you do get everything sorted for you so you don't have to worry about renting a house or paying bills and the area that the accommodation is in is close to some shops and is very easy to get to the uni. It could be improved in terms of matching students as although my flat mates weren't awful, they could have been better as I was awoken by flat parties a couple of times. Overall, I would go back into student accommodation but I prefer private housing.
