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.

My experience staying at Hillside House was fantastic. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by friendly staff who ensured I settled in comfortably. The apartment itself was clean, modern, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights was the excellent location, which made it easy to explore the city and access nearby amenities. The building facilities, including [mention any standout features like a gym, laundry, lounge, etc.], were well-maintained and convenient. Overall, I had a very positive experience and would highly recommend Hillside House to anyone looking for a quality stay in the area. Thank you for making my time here so enjoyable!

Good location near to the university campus. Lacks in value for money since the building only has staff in a limited number of hours meaning if we lose our keys or need immediate help there is no one around. Equally there doesn't seem to be any overnight security, or if there is we don't know where to find them. Also, I reported my door failing to lock behind me, it was attended to 3/4 days later however I had no notification that they had seen my message, nor when they were coming to fix it, or that they had fixed it. I only knew because all of my lights had been left on when I turned them off that morning. Communication could be better.

Half of the Amenities do not work, management doesn’t know what’s going on, half of the things written in the contract were not provided, unsafe as there’s no security and the front door doesn’t close leading to homeless people living here, no proper maintenance team. Social spaces are also very outdated and for some reason they’ve increased the rent?

Second time staying here and it’s been great as usual, if your budget has a bit more room to spare then you will definitely benefit from the add-ons of living here that make it a much more comfortable student experience. If not it may just seem a bit overpriced, but it certainly beats any other student accommodation especially any near the university of Sheffield campus.

Really really nice staff, the facilities are first-class but the thing that stands out the most is the location. The location is good for nightlife, studying facilities, sport facilities and food shops. Even though I’m a first year I do not regret missing out on the student village as the experience I have had with hillside house so far has made my university experience as good as it has been.

I also love the events the accommodation hosts for different types of holidays, such as Christmas. Would highly recommend for students at all stages of their study!

Absolutely top in everything except for the rent value it is a bit too expensive, but still their management and staff team are just amazing. More than enough social rooms are available. Could say that the high rent value is a result of their top services and accommodation, but personally it is expensive.

Some room contents mentioned in the contract are missing from the room, when i brought it up they acknowledged that it’s on my contract and did nothing about it. Rooms are freezing cold (i mean it’s the uk) and heaters don’t even work. we were told Most of the amenities will be finished by early october but been almost two months and not much is finished.
