Most helpful review

Kitchen only has a mini fridge (which all my food got stolen from first night), a microwave, kettle, and a toaster that’s now been stolen. No social space which means they all hang out in the corridors and it’s also hard to get to know people. I like to party but it’s been 3 weeks now and every night they are up until 3am minimum with a loud speaker, slamming doors, screaming and banging on my door and dont care if people are trying to sleep or have to get up early for lectures. I’ve had to sleep with headphones in playing music to drown it out almost every night. The warden who is meant to control it instead joins in with it all. Accommodation services have been super slow about getting back to me and sorting it out so I have requested to change halls almost two weeks ago and nothing has been done. The catered side of it is very nice, but avoid these halls if you want sleep

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.

No social spaces, had to go to friends rooms. Kitchen was very cramped. However, wardens were lovely and cleaning was every other day.
