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.

Ive moved in on the 21st September and I have been pleased with my stay here since. Every issue I have had in my room has been fixed by management properly. It is a nice community in here, where I can feel safe and comfortable. The location of this accommodation is also great. Not fat from any store or the university.

This accommodation is great for location, being incredibly central to everything. However it is not worth the money. The cleaning is not done within the flats at all leaving us all to hoover and clean not just our rooms but hallways and etc on our own. the heating was off for three weeks and we had no ways of being warm as they didn't offer heaters until the last days before they fixed the heating. However the facilities are amazing and the gym and library in particular are great spaces!!

I’ve been staying here for almost 3 weeks now, and unfortunately, my experience has been disappointing. The heater has not functioning at all during my stay. When I first arrived, the hot water also had issues. I also inquired about a portable heater as a temporary solution, but I was met with no options. I was only told that they were “working hard” to fix the problem. With the temperatures drop significantly, it is becoming unbearable, and I have noticed that some residents are falling ill due to the cold. I hope they resolve this situation soon.

They do not turn on the heating, claiming it’s externally controlled, and despite the cold weather, the heating has not been on for over a month. The management is incredibly inconsiderate, particularly the assistant manager, Ashleigh, who suggested that my health struggles are my own fault for not disclosing my condition before moving in. Had I known this accommodation was in such poor condition—where basic necessities like heating are not provided—I would have made different arrangements. For the price, there are far better options available. Its has only a good exterior, the rooms are small, and the flats lack basic necessities like a vacuum cleaner. The maintenance and complaint system is inefficient, and the only helpful staff members are those working the night shifts. International students should be particularly cautious before booking here. Think twice before choosing this place

I've been living at Cosmos for a while now. Its a lovely accommodation located reasonable within reach of the university campus, shopping and social amenities. The management team is incredibly helpful and prompt to help with almost anything a student could need when moving in as well as during the stay here. Common rooms are always clean and welcoming. A major perk are the social events, they given so many opportunities to just hang out with friends and meet new people too!

The staff is very friendly and welcoming. However, the conditions of en suites are horrible. There is no deep cleaning of the facilities before the arrival of new tenants. When I checked in (09.09.23) And saw my room I was shocked. It was dirty and my mattress had a vomit stain on it. The wall next to my bed was so dirty that I touched it… and stocked to it. The kitchen was dusty and definitely not clean. The fridge smelled horrible and the whole freezer was covered in ice. Definitely will not recommend this place because of the unsanitary condition of life.

Worst experience. Haven't seen such small rooms in 25 years of life. Have spent 7 months in depression just because of this accommodation. Life is hell after staying here. I will make sure to recommend students not to book a room in cosmos ever, eapecially in student life. It is iust fancy on the exterior, the size of the rooms will eat you pushing you to the corner. Maliciously disappointinh experience.

It wasn’t the worst experience I’ve ever had but it was far from great. The social spaces were great apart from the fact that you couldn’t play basketball or pool past 8 o’clock which I thought was a bit ridiculous considering students study during the day. Maintenance was just overall poor, it took 4 months to get a toilet seat fixed, and a long time to get the shower unclogged as they clog up quite quickly. A lot of the staff were just ignorant towards me and my friends, however some of the staff were polite and nice. Finally, when I first moved into my room the shared kitchen was dirty and far from clean and when I discussed this with my flatmates they said the staff blamed me for the dirtiness of the kitchen! I won’t be staying here again and I won’t be recommending this accommodation to anyone, nothing personal but my stay was very unpleasant.

It's definitely on the pricier side, but I believe it has been worth it for the facilities. I would say the breakfast is quite poor and not what was suggested on the website. Excellent location, close to Sainsbury's and 15 min walk to both Uni of and Hallam city campus. Probably like a 20 min walk to colligate campus. Reception and Security are absolutely lovely people who have truly been an asset to Cosmos. Once cleaned it is immaculate. Unfortunately, some residents don't feel like placing items in the bin, literally right in front of them so it kind of ruins it for everyone else. Some social spaces are slow to be fixed (eg. gaming room) but otherwise perfect and lots of study places available. Loads of events on, probably 1 or 2 a month (pancakes for pancake day, snooker competitions etc.) Encourages everyone down and allows those in studios a chance to socialise with others. The only area that doesn't get Wi-Fi is the roof garden, otherwise has incredibly fast and wide coverage.

As a postgrad student moving to a new university following the end of my undergrad, Cosmos has been a really great place to live for the past nine months, it’s well situated for night life, walking to the University of Sheffield campus and shopping close by. The staff that work here are really friendly and welcoming, it’s great coming back from uni to a friendly face that’s up for a chat. I’m in a premium studio and I love the amount of natural light my room gets and the amount of workspaces in communal areas that allow for a change of scenery from my room if I don’t want to head up to the library, these spaces also provide extra opportunities to meet new people! I also think it’s great that the staff organise a wide variety of social opportunities so that there will definitely be an event that you will want to participate in. Any issues that have cropped up, with a simple email, the accommodation team will get it sorted for you quickly. 😊
