The accommodation is good but some buildings are better than others. My building had one fridge, freezer and cooker that did not work. The bathroom was slightly dingy but the bedroom and the wifi etc all worked well. The accommodation team did take a couple days to respond to any problems which was also quite unfortunate though

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.

Brilliant space to study, socialise and feel welcome. Great experience living with lovely flatmates.
Locationally its very posh. But a bit far from city center. If you enjoy quiet living but want it just far enough to be close to most ameneties, BT9 is great! Cleaning, bills and entertainment is taken care of, Rooms aren't very small either. Only major issue is that is much costlier than any other private accommodation. If you can manage cost, BT9 is very nice.
I hate it here and no one talks
Good facilities but left me in so much debt as they are so overpriced. Also such a long walk to campus compared to non university student housing
Not worth the price but everything is going well so far, Stranmillis halls are cheaper and a lot they get breakfast made for them etc..
When I was in elms (academic year 2017-18) I was paying £230/ week. Although the facilities were top standard, they were very overprice. Especially considering similar standards in University halls in mainland UK which offer much more reasonable prices.
Security won’t let you bring anyone up and are really strict, you’re not living as a student if you live here.
Lovely social spaces, great kitchen and lovely rooms. Bathrooms are outdated though in BT9 and the beds aren’t the comfiest. The treehouse is great for studying and socialising and Elms isn’t far away from town at all. WiFi can be a bit poor but is okay most of the time.
Elms is great. It’s a bit of a treck from all the main areas to socialise and for uni etc. Great WiFi like honestly it’s surreal. Everyone is super nice and I recommend it
Great place, very sociable and in a great location
Really modern and fancy. Kept really clean. Halls are sorted in categories based on the trees that grow around them: e.g. chestnut crescent, ash avenue giving the place a really homely feel. Free tea and coffee in the "Treehouse" as well as pool and table tennis. Only downside is that £4,000 a year is actually quite expensive for Belfast as Belfast is really cheap.
Very expensive for what you get, unjustly strict about bringing people who don't live in elms back
I’m not in halls so I can’t answer
My friends were in Elms BT2- amazing location and services, but too expensive. Security guards are amazing!
Expensive for what it is. Security has huge power complexes and treats fully grown adults like children.
Met the best people and had the best time. Everything you need
Right in the heart of queens and Belfast
Friendly and welcoming with really good facilities
Halls too expensive for most students.
I once considered becoming an RA but at one point we just didn't have hot running water for showers or washing up. I know this problem effected other buildings near by but everytime it was reported they claimed to know nothing. This was never resolved. Once I walked down one of the other streets to find Steam from a water main bellowing into the air. Clearly being worked on as the road had to be dug up but the halls said nothing about it. Also night time fire alarms tests where they make you leave your room and stand outside. Just do them in the day time for Christ sake.
Didn't stay in Hall's but I have visited a few times
Halls were fantastic and a good price
Lovely place to live in first year! Many funny memories from this place!
Don't stay here but seems like a great place.
You won't find better accommodation.
Had a fantastic time in uni halls. All good value for money however Oak did need to be done up a little. Great safe location and as you’re all in one enclosed area it’s great for socialising. En-suite rooms are perfect value.
Had a great time here, halls were fantastic and I would encourage everyone to stay here.
Elms village was very tidy and well kept, larger flats made it possible to meet even more new people at the start of the year which was great. The treehouse communal area was perfect for meeting with friends in the evening time.
Everything is fine, accommodation staff is really friendly and helpful 24/7.
Honestly, not worth your money in the slightest. Way too expensive for what you're getting. 5000 a year to live with people you'll end up hating. What a joke.
Though rooms are small, but it's cozy and sufficient
This is the place where fun is sucked from student life. Think prison, then add 10 nice cellmates. The students are all great but we live under the tyranical rule of the elms village enforcers inflicting punishment under the instruction of the 'all-hearing' international student who has complained. No one gets in past 11, so don't expect to bring friends back from a night out. At the weekends everyone from NI goes back home to their parents and elms dies. The cost is exorbitant! Paying £4000 to 'make friends' sounds like a tax on the socially inept.
