Lawrencefield is amazing, I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to live in Endcliffe. It has its own little "sense of community", whilst still being apart of Endcliffe. Its in a great location that means its not super noisy all the time but its like a 2 minute walk from the edge. All of the kitchens are super modern and big and the rooms are painted a nice grey colour. I love being in Lawrencefield and would totally recommend to anyone!

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.

Nice to be away from the noise near the edge and half way up the hill. Kitchen is massive and the view is great. Laundry is a bit far. No lift, but only four floors.

lawrencefield is great if you care for a good night sleep! it’s surrounded by open, green space so you’re away from the ‘noisier’ buildings. plus it’s just more aesthetically pleasing!! wifi can be a little patchy, but like most problems we’ve encountered, it’s solved almost immediately. we highly recommend lawrencefield!! (we’re also halfway up endcliffe hill🥰)

Far enough away to be able to get a good night sleep but close enough to be still be engaged socially. Perfect for a good work-life balance and getting plenty of rest.

Very poor service for the price, and it’s already above the average price

Lawrencefield is in a nice location on the hill above the rest of Endcliffe. Room is decent and kitchen and common room is of a good size. Wifi is not usually an issue but can be slightly irritating at times. 8 people per flat means that there's always someone around and not too many so that there's no space in the kitchen. Laundry is a trek but there are machines at Endcliffe Crescent Flats if you ask someone there for the door code. Overall nice place to live and definitely a lively bunch.

Lawrencefield is good if you don't plan on doing any work or sleeping at all, I mean I enjoy going out and that don't get me wrong, but when the music is so loud at 2 in the afternoon on a Tuesday that you can't hear the lecture you're trying to catch up on in your own room, it's a bit of a pain. Also the walk up the hill from the Edge or Laundrette can get annoying, and the water pressure from the showers is sh itttt . However, people here can be very friendly always offering for anyone to come for pres and will always take in your deliveries

Phone signal was horrendous lol..... had to run outside with my phone every time someone called (not so easy from a 3rd floor flat). Quieter than a lot of endcliffe apartments but suited me fine.

Flatmates were nice this year but we were a quite bunch. Apartments did get kinda noisy and stank of weed occasionally. Would have liked to interact with more international students.

LAWRENCEFIELD WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. Met all my best pals there and had the most wonderful experience, it's like being in your own little community and everyone is really social. Also the kitchens are bigger than the rest of Endcliffe for less people per flat. I spent most of my time in lawrencefield blasting ABBA from my room and nobody seemed to mind, so get your funky on and join the best accomodation in Britain. You're also slightly closer to broomhill so less of a hill. You are a lucky bunny for being selected to be in the funnest blocks in Endcliffe. get ready to partaaaayyyyy!! XXXXX
