Most helpful review

When I got allocated these halls and read the reviews I was gutted! But actually it worked out to be the best place. I really enjoyed being in Camden and it’s not too far at all from campus. Not having to pay for food saved so much money.I had wanted to go self-catered and it honestly worked out the best to have food provided, once the workload kicked in! Just really wanted to leave this review to anyone else that finds themselves in the same situation as I was last year.

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.

Pros: 1. Excellent location. Camden Town has truly everything to offer - great nightlife. There is a bus stop right outside the hall, and an Overground station 10 min walk and Underground station 15 min walk. You can get anywhere. 2. Reception team is nice and very helpful. Cons 1. Cleaning - Absolutely terrible. Toilets suck - they are not cleaned every day. 2. Food - The food is not good. No variety. Absolutely dirty utensils. Lack of choices for those with dietary restrictions. Coffee in the coffee machine is the weakest coffee I have ever had in my life. Totally not worth staying here if you are considering catered food. 3. Laundry - good luck getting your clothes dried with such weak drying power. Often have to go through another cycle and waste another quid. 4. Service - With the exception of the reception team, service is a big issue. Some of the cleaning staff are very rude.

This is the noisiest place I've ever lived in. Fire alarms every week, inspections and maintenance with no specific dates every couple of weeks, delivery trucks at 9 a.m. that are so noisy you can't not wake up, thin doors so you can participate in any conversation going on in your hallway, you name it. I've lived here for 7 months now and I can never call it home with the amount of strangers doing maintenance inspections and allowed in my room whenever they want even if I'm not there it's ridiculous. Catered accommodation allows you to get 2 edible meals a day on weekdays only with the strictest timings I've seen. Dinner from 5-7 only, and breakfast from 7:45 to 9. That said it's good value for money compared to other places, but if you want a room to call it home or a place to relax, this is not it.

1 word: Camden. Edgiest/most openminded place to be - Bus ride to UCL is 8-10 minutes rush hour and walking can be 25-35 minutes. Perfect for down-to-earth Freshers ready to socialise. (Several clubs are within walking distance which is great.)

despite it flooded 3 times and the heating going off for 2 days, ifor evans is the best hall in the entirety of london. I honestly wish I could relive my year there over and over again for the rest of my life. I will always miss my time there dearly. It was the ultimate university experience and more.
