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.

I would not recommend Cefn Bryn accommodation at Swansea University to anyone. You have 16 students to one floor and share one kitchen and bathrooms are shared between 2-3 people. Noise travels horrifically in the building. I’ve frequently had to sleep elsewhere in order to get a good nights sleep even during normal weekdays.

The accommodation itself is quite spacious but the kitchens are on the smaller side. We havent had much of a problem with it but it has occasionally been a problem.

Cefn Bryn is the best place to meet lots of first year students. You'll have plenty of flatmates on your floor and you're bound to meet other people in the building during parties before heading out to town and other occasions. If you're hoping to have fun, you can't get much better than Cefn Bryn.

Social spaces were poor, and poorly maintained. However, security on campus made you feel safe 24/7
