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 have enjoyed living here for 2 years. The social events that are put on in common areas are great fun and they’re free! The accommodation itself is always clean and maintenance issues are fixed promptly. There are great facilities like a gym and a games area. Would recommend living here!

Student Castle York is exceptionally run, immaculetely clean and living here is a pleasure. Francesca and the team are all marvellous and exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I had a significant problem and it was resolved quickly with great communication from the team. I have lived in a few student accommodations and am very happy with my experience here.

Student Castle is a great accommodation that offers a comfortable and convenient living experience. The site is centrally located and shops and attractions are all within walking distance. The premises is quite safe as it is gated and there are security members on site. The management and staff members are incredibly responsive and helpful, and they are willing to work with you if any unexpected issues arise. The staff also go above and beyond by hosting special events for the residents. The little thoughtful touches like that really add to the living experience at Student Castle, making it well worth the investment!

Dreadful accommodation, overexpensive, york management and higher management are rude and unhelpful, don't stick to their licence agreement statements or protocol, don't take any responsibility for their actions. The building is smoke a mirrors- state of disrepair including poor plumbing, poor quality kitchen facilities (also have to pay ridiculous amount extra for Toaster and kettle) and silverfish problems

The location is fairly central, but it's a bit of a dodgy street. It's located next to a drug rehabilitation centre and some less than safe council flats. It's fine so long as you don't stray off the road towards town. Staff are mostly polite (especially the cleaning and maintenance staff) , but there are some really rude members of admin staff. There is no feeling of security or privacy either, because the staff are constantly walking around the corridors knocking on doors if music is too loud, if you leave the door slightly ajar etc. There's additional charges for everything from parking to multiple internet connections or TV licenses, which is super annoying. The accommodation is probably 90% international Chinese students, which is totally fine but it means it's hard for national students to integrate. The rooms are the smallest student rooms in York, yet some of the most expensive. That doesn't guarantee a great quality room though; you'll constantly find broken stuff.
