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.

Best Location! There are a lot of restaurants and supermarkets nearby for your convenience, and it's not far from the college and central London. It offers great value for money. You get what you pay for, so you shouldn't have high expectations regarding cleanliness and facilities."

The kitchen and bathroom are cleaned too few times, and the toilet is often blocked, but the maintenance efficiency is very low.

UCL is making profit out of their students! Too expensive and in bad shape! Change your accommodation policy, UCL!

The rooms are bigger than expected and socially it is much better than other UCL halls, however there are cockroaches and mice, cleaners are often rude and is too expensive even for the cheapest hall on offer.

I was super scared when I arrived, because of all the stories about pests online. So far though, Max Rayne is pleasantly surprised me! My room is cosy, and has more fixtures and fittings then were mentioned online and the cleaners come around more often than expected.

Max Rayne is a disgusting pile of bricks, infested with cockroaches (2 breeds) and mice, which UCL have failed to exterminate for over 5 years. The ancient windows and non-closing vents which let in the freezing outdoor draughts are a homely touch, in addition to the holes in bedroom walls and missing furniture. Having said that, if you want to come to UCL, it is the cheapest uni accommodation and the bus does stop right outside. Just hope that you're not allocated a 'through' corridor, which, unlike all of the other flats, has no lock on the door, making it necessary to literally lock yourself in your own room, if you do not desire to be intruded on by any of the 300 people in the building and/or strange, middle aged men terrorising female students in the middle of the night, because security is just that good. Also, don't leave your window open on the ground floor, because your laptop will get stolen.
