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.

Good location to go to the city centre or Avenue campus, but bit far from Highfield campus. Small rooms but cheap so good value for money. Not very sociable compared to other bigger accommodations, and fewer facilities than other bigger accommodations as well.
If you're looking for the most affordable en-suite accommodation, you'll find it in Romero. In spite of this, the value for money is still incredibly poor, which is surprising given it's university owned. Definitely hindered my perception of university altogether, and would recommend getting student housing asap, as the value is just much better.

Compared to Wessex Lane Complex, in Archers rooms are smaller, kitchen is bigger and there is no significant difference in prices. The building is nothing special, old. The neighbourhood is boring but green and quiet. There is no local store except for a small co-op. The laundry is in Romero building, so if you live in Gately, you have walk 1min to use it. Basically, the place is really quiet, people tend to be unsociable. There is one small common are, usually empty. I didn’t like my stay in Archers (3 months) so I moved to Wessex Lane where is much better. In Wessex you can choose if you want to be social or not while in Archers you can’t.
Loved it!
Great small halls. Very social, and a lot to do in the common room. The flats were cleaned daily and the hall management (residence support) were superb and very efficient.
Romero > Gateley
good price but a lot of things stop working (shower regularly did not heat up) and take a long time to be fixed or are not fixed properly.
Good for nightlife, bit further from uni but you save on taxi fares. Quite a small halls so a bit trickier to make lots of friends
