There’s high-speed Wi-Fi fitted throughout the building.
Frederick House offers a range of options, all created with student living in mind. You may opt to live with friends in a shared townhouse or may choose a studio flat for more independence.

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 like to keep our residents energised! Glad you enjoyed them!
The doors break and then never seem to get fixed (one of the doors to C block has been broken since September 2023 and remains so). The front door has been broken at least 2 months so we all use the side gate to get in. The sensors in the bathroom don't cover the shower so everyone has the shared trauma of having their first shower and the light turning off 10 minutes in, leaving them stuck in a glass box in pitch darkness fumbling for the door handle in panic. The kitchen surfaces and burned and scuffed from previous tennants and don't get replaced between tenants.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re very sorry to hear of the issues you’ve raised that have negatively impacted your time living at Frederick House. The Operations Manager of the property has been provided with your review and has advised the issues with the front door are unfortunately an ongoing issue that they are aware of and they are working with the relevant parties to get this fixed as soon as possible. The issues you’ve raised regarding the kitchen surfaces are also something they’re aware of and they are currently in the process of getting a plan in place for these to hopefully be replaced in the next few months. They were unaware of the issues with the showers or the door to C Block and they will begin looking into these issues immediately for you. If you would be happy to share your details with them, so they can contact you about the points raised, you can contact your property directly at reception or complete the Feedback and Complaints form on our website (www.studentroost.co.uk/feedback-and-complaints) with your details and someone will reach out to you.

Great staff (particularly Luke), good fun times to be had
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. It’s great to know you’ve had such a positive experience with Luke and our other team members. We really appreciate the feedback! – Student Roost
Frederick House is poor value for money and is ugly. It has been dirty, with waste management very bad at times. However, I am aware that these things are not the fault of reception staff, who have been fine.

Unclean places as laundry, corridors and the problem with the bins and the bins room is disgusting
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I’m sorry to hear you’ve found Frederick House to be unsatisfactory in the areas mentioned in your review. There was an issue we faced earlier this year with bin collections, which we sincerely apologise for. This was resolved at the start of February and no issues have been known to us since then. If you do know of any problems relating to the bins or cleanliness please let us know at reception and we will have these resolved for you. Many thanks – Student Roost
Frederick House is a nice space to live. They fix issues quickly. Broken table legs were fixed immediately. Declan came to help me when a dishwasher broke a fuse. Unfortunately, there is an issue with trash disposal and the bins often overflow.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate the feedback! Many thanks - Student Roost
I’ve enjoyed my time at Frederick House very much. The property management has been excellent and the staff and security have all been extremely helpful and most friendly (Martin in particular has been very kind and welcoming). All the social spaces are very clean and well catered for the residents, and the location of the building is fantastic. My only critiques is that there could perhaps be better WiFi/internet on the whole site, and perhaps a more diverse and frequent amount of social events. Overall I have adored my time at Frederick House and would stay here again if I could, and I would also recommend it to a friend. My experience has been most enjoyable.
