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.

Lovely and beautiful environment.
I appreciate the communal areas, such as kitchens and living spaces, which are well-maintained, fostering a friendly, social atmosphere.
Good clean simple accommodation.
First year at this uni, during the pandemic has been somewhat kind of a nightmare. Before the pandemic hit, the on campus accommodation that I lived in had many technical issues! One of those was the vacuum that was already broken before me and my housemates had moved in. When Covid hit, I had to leave my contract early, and the university withheld my security deposit within any actual reason and enforced a damage fee on my household individually which was very heartbreaking. At one point they still wanted students to pay for a full term even if you decided to leave the university and head back home! We have been very vocal on our disappointment on how they have handled their students this year, hopefully they’ll do something about this and comeback with better grace for the following year. I have emailed just recently in regards to receiving my security deposit back as the pandemic has hit myself and family hard and employment is becoming hard to find. I’m due to just transferring!
Wish I'd paid more, going cheap on living was definitely a bad decision. During Coronavirus outbreak they refused to let anyone off of the contract despite the financial issues the virus had obviously caused. This also extended to vulnerable students who'd had to move back home early.
Brand new buildings with great features and a mainatainence team who will fix any issies
My neighbor was broken into and attacked with a knife in schofield 32. https://instagram.com/universityofmemefordshire?igshid=1cjxba1mk45gr
quite expensive, parties kept happening in the common room which only select people were allowed to go too, was annoying as was right outside my window. security uninterested and took half an hour to get to you minimum, hard to make friends, unsociable people, again if complained about cleanliness nothing would happen
Telford Court is a complete joke. There is no WIFI. Showers don't drain. Building is dirty. Radiators are broken. No one will come and fix any of it also which isn't helpful. Would not recommend to anyone.
Very spacious rooms and good communal area but sharing a bathroom is a down side
Too expensive for the rooms compared to other halls (that are quite good and cheap i.e. telford court). Great residential assistance. Very bad cleaning services (they expect students to clean the whole flat by ourselves including kitchen)
Poor. Do not choose Telford. Awful old buildings that contain a plethora of issues. My radiator never works, my key card to enter the building stops working, leaving me out in the cold upwards to 30 minutes while security makes their way over, sometimes they never show. It's a loud area, lots of shouting from the main outside spot. The walls here are paper thin,nice been able to hear my TV from the kitchen and down the hallway in the toilet, everyone can hear everything. The rooms are kinda big and you get a double bed with lots of storage, so that's definitely neat! So the location isn't too bad, you're next to the gym, courts, and a short trip from The Forum and the bus stops
Not much can justify the price they make us pay.
WiFi never works. Social/common rooms are always empty. If Theres a small gathering once in a blue moon, security will stop it. Rooms are clean and up to date but the social experience was terrible.
It was good but a little pricey
Cheapest accommodation but still lovely, great location, nice sized rooms.
WiFi is terrible. But everything else is decent. It’s pretty spacious even with 12 people living here
WiFi isn’t great however I think is being improved. Rooms are great and so much cheaper than the others on campus.
Great halls, just people in my flat we’re not sociable. Uni kept them in great condition
Awful WiFi. Nothing loads. Had to purchase unlimited 4G just so I can do my uni work
Halls are expensive, very noisy area, but close to college lane campus. Halls isn’t fun though when you have flatmates who hate you. Very messy as you need to clean yourself and sometimes your flatmates don’t do it. Depressing university and not much to do
Living in halls is good but a bit pricey.
Most social point in campus is a double edged sword. If you like people stumbling home blind drunk at 3am in the morning and waking you up when you have early lessons next day you'll love this place. Similarly if you're near the road you'll love the individuals who like to rev their 1.4 ford focus, play loud music or both of the above at the early hours of the morning you'll love this place. If you do call the security about noise complaint they might turn up its a hit and miss, you could always call the council and complain. Walls are thin so noise travels. Kitchen is small but practical. You will have a bit of a squeeze if everyone cooks at the same time but since you wont be getting much sleep your cooking times shouldn't be synced. Sadly there's no locks on your cupboards so leave food in there at your own risk. Cleaners come round but only clean the ovens and nothing else? What's up with that. Its pretty bad but what do you expect living on campus?
Living in university accommodation is great experience specially for international students. Not only the living there was comfortable but also its location is perfect for my university. Also it gives you chance to socialise with other people and get to know about other cultures.
Wayyy to expensive for what you get.. the Uni is just trying to make money from these expensive rooms... not looking after the students.
Halls have been referbished, all have 4ft beds, decent size rooms, good value for money compared to the others
Not the best out there but it worked
I great halls to live in as it's the cheapest on college lane campus and also the closest to the forum venues and main buildings. Great room with 4ft bed and large desk and pin board and shelves to organise stationary and books Plenty of drawers and storage including reasonable sized wardrobe. Sink in room is extremely handy too
Security turns up to parties way to often and ruining the night mining because Security are way too over the top with noise complaints along with trying to enforce fines which are also way over the top. flat Doors should automatically lock behind you as once in building way too easy for people to walk into flats. Prices are very pricey considering its cheaper to rent privately outside the Uni. Cleaning team are rude and don't understand why they even turn up as all they seem to do was sit in our kitchen chatting. Maintenance team was amazing but the problem was you didn't know they were coming so one time i came out the shower to a man in the flat hall way playing with the light (not ideal really). Security in general round the campus (heard of several bikes being stolen) and in the flat you get unsettling feeling of someone stealing at anytime.
Not the most luxurious place to live but the best place to live on college lame as it's the most sociable (seems like there's something on every night!) and living in flats of 6 is much better then the 12s of everywhere else on campus
Best accommodation at Herts but make sure you lock your door! Everyone's flats look the same. I was sleeping once at 5am like everyone does and suddenly this guy I don't know walks into my room wakes me up by shaking me on the shoulder. He then looks at me and noticed I'm not the right person and said "oh s*** sorry, wrong flat. You can go back to sleep now" to which I replied "this is a really weird way to meet someone new". We then just stood in silence for a few seconds before he walked away!
Poor design with little or no communal area, overpriced compared with local accommodation. No cleaner and security overly aggressive at times.
More value here than other places on campus. Big spacious double beds, comfy mattresses, loads of storage space. Only problem is the wireless there drops out a lot, the facilities that are broken remain broken for long periods of time, cleaners only clean ovens nothing else. However, the most social spot on campus!
The hall is located 5 minutes away from the student nightclub and the bus station as well as being the most conveniently located to the college lane lecture rooms and LRC. I had a good time here, you share with 5 people so it is not too crowded but you do get to meet a lot of new people. This is probably the best halls of residence in terms of location and value for money.
The noisiest hall out of all of the halls. People there are s*******.
Annoying we dont have cleaners for free but social life so good, met great people and have thoroughly enjoyed my first year!
for what you pay for uni of Herts accommodation it's all overpriced to be honest. The premium flats are newer making it a little better but the older ones are falling apart and really worn down. For about £100 a week, it's pretty shabby. But then again, we are all students. Heads up to those on the first floor, people will knock on your windows at stupid times waking you up. And people in room 1 on the first floor - the main door is loud. It sucks!
Telford is the place to be on campus, more social, more going on, always a party! Only downside is the kitchen is a little small..
