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.

Overall, I have a good time living in Bay Campus. However, there is only option of en-suite room but no studio accommodation. Also, it is expensive to do a laundry. These are the only 2 things I don’t like about Bay Campus.

Amazing location, cannot fault. Being so close to the beach allows you to go for walks, socialise have BBQs with mates. The maintenance also always ensure problems are fixed quickly. The price is high but I would says its worth it. The kitchen space is great, with an island so you can eat and socialise. And the ensuite is a luxury! The rooms are also very well laid out and have plenty of storage.

The wifi is patchy in the accommodation building, but the rest of the campus is well connected. I am next to a beach with a beach view to wake up to, but not everyone is lucky enough to have this view. The bedroom and bathroom are fairly small considering Bay Campus is more expensive than Singleton Campus, but it’s still comfortable enough.

Very quiet and out of the way. No nearby shops (except Tesco Extra on campus) and things to do near campus. Bus travel is needed if you want to go out into town for whatever reason.

Bay Campus is a nice spot and the accommodation is spotless. I enjoyed my stay there but it's out of the way! Singleton is a much more social spot to be in if you are planning to be involved in societies.

Was great, I was in accomodation during covid so was very restricting and felt isolated being so far from the city, but is on campus so ideal for a roll out of bed and into a lecture.

Proximity to campus is great however the it’s really expensive. Loads of storage and the rooms are bigger than average accommodation. Bit of a pain to get to the city centre. WiFi is awful sometimes.

Become accommodation although the better version of this Swansea University accommodation it is still pretty bad and it is quite overpriced considering the stating which accommodation is but it is not really though as place to live in but it is never really considered the best. It would be better to just get accommodation outside because the love outside accommodations are extremely amazing compared to the university accommodations.

Accomodation does the job nothing paticulairly special, the accomdation is on campus which is ideal for getting to and from lectures easily. The downside is you are disconnected from town with it being beyond reasonable walking distance.

Compared to other properties, Bay Campus is quite expensive with no parking availability for on campus students. The wifi does not keep up with online seminars and lectures causing students to fall behind on work.

Cleaners were supposed to clean every week but they gave any arbitrary reason not to. What's the point of having cleaners then? Security and admin staff were truly terrible I'm afraid. Wifi was patchy, and there wasn't any phone signal too. Location was good to go to lectures but bad for basically anything else.
