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.
Read Vita Student York - Lawrence Street Reviews
First, my total rent for the year was approx. £17,500. The place was filthy all year, housekeepers didn't ever seem to clean any space. One time, they pretended to bleach our toilet and left. It would have been easier for them not to come, makes no sense. Staff are very rude, any question you have they make it seem like you are a hassle and a pain. Partway through the year, staff began letting a stranger park on-site as they gave my room number as a reference. They then shouted at me for this security risk because I didn't know who they were. However, they didn't let me know and they let this person in. Very unprofessional and unsafe. They are very inconvenienced if you want your family to visit also, they are extremely unwelcoming and will take great pleasure in making you feel like you are doing something wrong. One staff member in particular was exceptionally friendly and even apologised when others were rude to us. For £15,000+ the room is basic, you get a small bathroom, bed,

It’s lovely to live in. Excellent morning meals for work days. And It is very convenient for me to get my parcels. I really appreciate Ebony for delivering parcels to my room :)
Vita Student is the worst student halls I've ever stayed in which as a postgraduate is saying something. The staff are unhelpful and unfriendly, treating you more like an annoyance than a valued customer; the halls are overpriced for what they are (expect to pay £13,500 for a small studio for a year) and they will try and squeeze as much money out of you as possible. Don't expect to leave with any of your deposit left as they will make up reasons to take all of it off of you and have the cheek to pretend that they're undercharging you (i.e. they should ask you for EVEN more money). This accommodation would be particularly ill-suited for first years/new students in York (I was the latter in my first year here) because there is very little opportunity to meet any other students, most of whom are friends from back home and have no interest in socialising. Go for Student Castle or a halls on campus, avoid Vita like the plague!
1. No one cleans the public area of the kitchen. 2. The signal and network are poor
