The price is very high, but the location and the facilities are nice but my experience could have been better for various reasons. The first reason is that 7000 dollars were taken from my foreign bank account without any warning. Before the payment was done I received a notification and tried to warn the staff, which denied that this money would be taken and blamed the bank. Despite this, the money was taken. Later no explanation was offered, but they did keep the money as credit for the weeks I had left there. I have two banks, and one of them has a better exchange rate than the other. The money was taken from the bank that had a worse exchange rate, which meant I lost a 4% of the money they took from the wrong bank. I tried to explain that to the staff but they ignored me, so I lost 280 dollars. The staff was also unable to provide a good booking system for the cinema room, which lead to clashes in bookings. This problem was solved by reducing the opening hours from 24 to 14.

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.
