Great place to live, so close to the Hub, very central in location to other areas. Cheap accommodation and comes catered, so dont have to often worry about food.

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.

We are the most social hall and we don't have a common room, this ruined the uni experience I hate sitting on the floor in the coridoor when socialising with flatmates.

I sincerely did not want these halls as I applied for chancellors and was assured I would get one of my choices but after getting here I must say I am really enjoying it. It's pretty much in the centre of the campus, right next to the SU and I don't even have to go outside if I want to go to the hub. I can also see my lecture building from my window which is a right bonus. Made loads of friends and it's super social and the rooms are a really good size. Also cheap as chips and being catered is great if you are a lazy f*** like me. Love main halls now!

So good for socialising and value for money, you even get a food card which helps when you've been out the night before
