Love Endcliffe Vale, it's nice and quiet but still close to everything you need, washing machine on site, ground floor has a huge kitchen and some upstairs flats have balconies. Lots of staircase space in the rooms. I'll be sad to leave!

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.

No major complaints besides the fact that there are 2 toilet cubicles within 1 bathroom so it's a bit like a public bathroom

Location is near stunning green spaces such as endcliffe park which is a 7 minute walk away. The edge bar is located a 2 minute walk away from the flats and is a great social hotspot with student friendly prices and a bubbly atmosphere. Village store is also conveniently parked a 3 minute walk away for any emergency shops. Despite being a long walk to the city centre, it’s a 25 minute commute and there are bus stops conveniently scattered around the local streets.

Decent accommodation. It's the cheapest uni owned accommodation and you get what you pay for. Located in a safe area but it's quite a walk to the uni, shops and the centre. Rooms are big with good storage and a nice desk but the bed is uncomfortable so bring a mattress topper!! The toilets are awful compared to shared bathrooms at other unis. There are two cubicles right next to each other, not really any privacy at all. If you care even a little bit about having your own bathroom, it's probably worth the extra money for an ensuite. But the showers are good. Kitchen is nice, has everything you need, although not great for socialising as there are no sofas. Noise isn't much of a problem through the week, only on the weekend which is to be expected. All in all, it's okay. If you want to save some money, it's worth it.

- In a lovely part of the village - like the rest of wndcliffe and ranmoor it is a 30 minute walk from the uni, but good bus services - rooms are a good size with lots of storage (big wardrobe and draws and under bed storage) -bed itself is uncomfortable and rather rickety and creaky -kitchen is also a decent size with good storage -table only seats 6 and there’s 8 in a flat, also no other seating or social spaces like other accoms that have sofas - induction hobs only work if there is only one on at a time. Useless if using two pots at the same time -WiFi drops out constantly (get an Ethernet cable -showers are rather small but still pretty good pressure etc -any flat parties or gatherings tend to happen in other accoms due to the lack of additional social spaces - maintenance takes forever, we’ve had a broken toilet for two weeks now and no one has sorted it - is a decent option and better value for money compared to other accoms, but definitely not without its faults

Overall really good, great kitchen space and rooms are comfortable. Wi-Fi can sometimes be slow, and occasionally the toilets, showers etc block up or break, although maintenance is always very quick to fix. The only downside is there are no sofas so difficult to socialise in the kitchen beyond cooking and eating together. Bedrooms don’t have the best natural light either, although depends on the side of the building you are on! Overall a great choice for accommodation!

Really nice , further away from the edge so it’s quieter but only a min walk away. Also nice view of the pond if you’re looking onto that side. Good size kitchen just no sofas which is the only downfall. Also good for flat parties as it’s shared bathrooms . Quite a few have balconies aswell

I would say great value for money because the kitchen is great, with a balcony, it's quite quiet and we have washing machines in the building, so we, unlike most other flats, don't have to go all the way to the edge to queue for washing, which is very helpful! It could have been cleaner when we moved in and there could be more fridge/ freezer space for 8 people, as well as the fact that there are no sofas in the kitchen, which would be nice. Maintenance is mainly dealt with quickly, although some issues that have apparently been sorted are still a problem (such as the shower flooding). The WiFi is good when it works, but you have to connect twice for it to actually connect. Overall I am very glad I got vale as my accomodation as it is big, social and very convenient!

Very good value for money, my only complaint is that there are no sofas in the kitchen and so the only place you can sit is at the kitchen table I’ve never had any issues with the shared bathroom and never had to wait for the shower and they are always cleaned In terms of distance to uni it is a tad far like a 20-35 minute walk depending on your university building but it keeps you really fit

Being within Endcliffe is brilliant as you have access to lots of facilities but Endcliffe vale flats are towards the bottom so if you are looking for a quieter area, its perfect. It also has its own set of washing machines so you don't have to walk all the way to the edge to do your washing. The one main downside is a lack of a nice social space within the flat as the kitchen just has a table. However aside from that it is great value for money.

toilets feel like public bathrooms, showers are tiny - a lot of people say it’s a social accommodation but that’s based solely on whether you get a good flat. the area around is absolutely lovely even if the the accommodation is not! kitchens fairly big and useful, has induction hobs so be aware

Big kitchens with large corridors and rooms. Seems like these halls have bigger communal areas than most other accommodations. Have had some great nights out and good flat parties. Shared bathrooms are perfect for big flat parties as you can lock your room. Only problems we have had so far is leaking from the balconies above which hasn't been fixed, blocked drains and broken pipes which causes leaking. Apart from that everyone loves living here and its only a 25 minute flat walk to the student union.

Being the cheapest accommodation in Endcliffe I suppose I can't complain too much, it's in a great spot and we were lucky enough to have a balcony. But otherwise, almost every flat I've spoken to has had problems with the showers and toilets, maintenance seem to be reluctant to sort out these problems most times, which didn't help. We have large kitchens but no common space or anywhere to sit apart from at the table, which was sometimes (most times) a nuisance. But in my opinion, it is one of the nicest places to live, we have stunning views and decent sized rooms compared to some of the other buildings.

Its cheaper than all the other accommodation in Endcliffe but you get what you pay for. The block is just not quite as modern and flash as the rest of the student village. Socially its good and its convenient for taxis/deliveries. The rooms and kitchen are plenty big enough, though there is no wifi in the kitchen which is the only social area you have. The walls are also very thin. Also, I think a lot of the flats are full of gap-year students so it depends on what type of crowd you wanna be around

Location loses a star as it is fairly close to the road, but being surrounded by trees gives it an almost country feel. Hall management was poor, the year I lived there we were stuck with a bunch of weed smokers who insisted on smoking inside rather than the balcony. No one likes stinking of weed and nothing of substance was done, an ignored warning isn't sufficient. Cleaning on the whole was good, however if you end up living with filthy housemates the cleaners will draw the line and refuse to enter. Social space was limited to the kitchen, however, these halls have their own private wash room, so no queueing at the general accommodation ones. Social experience has very few stars to to the stoners, but I was unlucky. It's a good location if you want to be picked up by taxi to go into town, there is a bus stop outside which picks up regular to get into the city centre and its close to the accommodation hub which hosts numerous nights for fresher's

Apart from my lovely flatmates, I hated living here. It was extremely loud every night and security did nothing, even when called/emailed a few nights in a row. If you're doing a course with a lot of 9am starts, I strongly recommend finding somewhere else.
