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.

What interested me in the Kilvey accommodation was the dining card; it allowed me to get settled in Swansea University without worrying about running around buying pots and pans while lectures were starting. There isn't much to say about it, which I find is usually a good thing!

its right on campus so its close to lectures however the kitchens are way too small for up to 18 people. there is no other social space in the building so the kitchen gets crowded quite quickly. the lifts (especially the odd floor lift) were out of order way too often and were only fixed for open days. communal bathrooms were also not the best. internet was fine as it was eduroam. overall, its really not worth the money you pay however it got the job done.

Didn't have electricity the first 48h when I arrived. Then they took my ceiling tile off because it was about to fall and didn't replace it all year. Poor management and stuff didnt get fixed

The building is falling apart and the accomodation blames you for any damages even if they happened before you even moved in
