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.
Read Frances Gardner House Reviews
It's a nice accomodation but a bit far from main campus and major train stations.
Clean and functional accommodation that is easily made homely and encourages socialising with its proximity to its neighbouring accommodation Langton Close. The facilities (e.g., the computer room, laundry and common room) are all easily accessible and useful. Although a twenty minute walk from main UCL campus, the walk itself is pleasnt and passes more quickly than one would think (it also is a great opportunity to get some steps in daily).
Would not recommend staying here. There are constant power outages that take hours to be resolved. Staff is generally unhelpful.
Had mouse in our kitchen and flatmates a few blocks down had cockroaches/rats. A lot of residence also did not have hot water for over a term. a lot of electric appliances would not work or had faulties which were often replaced but there are also waiting lists for services to be resolved which took a long long time. nice location though despite it looking grim from the outside. the hallways smell terrible as well but you tune out after a while
Really clean room. 5/7
Met some great people there, but nothing compared to the social life at Ramsey/Astor. Also too expensive.
Honestly so rubbish

If you just want to study and be confined to the people in your individual blocks then stay here. I practically stayed at my friends halls from LSE, Kings, Cass and QM the whole year as Frances Gardner was so antisocial. This halls of residence are pretty much made for Masters or Phd students who just want to get on with their work.
