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.
Read Polwarth House Reviews
The walls are quite thick so you don't hear each other often
When I arrived the room was dirty, broken and smelt terrible. It was very clear that the building hadn't been inspected or cleaned, which became especially clear when a staff member came to look at the room and then found out that the room light didn't even work. Even after cleaning the room and decorating, I can still safely say that it is not at all worth it's price. In the 4 person flats there is no social area, leading to everyone staying in their rooms and hardly talking to each other. The internet will frequently cut out, and housekeeping (as promised on the website) hardly ever show their faces. This is not to mention the poor sense of DIY, with breeze block walls in every room making the place seem like a prison cell. The windows don't even open properly. Paying £84/week for a flat which feels like a health risk, has poor sense of DIY and broken stuff everywhere is definitely not worth it. The accommodation services really need to refurbish this place.
It was great and pretty cheap
Does not look very nice from the outside, and the rooms were like prison sells haha. But nice social experience!
People seem to be voting that Polwarth is rubbish, agreed the internet is occasionally patchy and the building is getting old.. but honestly the staff are lovely (especially George, you go George!). In Polwarth you get what you pay for, so the rooms aren't that big or newly renovated, but hey it's cheap and it's certainly livable, I look forward to spending more time here with the cool people and nice staff!
Small rooms but relatively cheap. Really good location and fast wifi
With it being one of Stirling university's oldest halls, I wasn't expecting much. However, I do feel as if the price was a bit steep for the size of the room and the age of the building.
not big enough social space for 6 people. apart from that it was okay
