Most helpful review

The room I was allocated was filthy, and clearly hadn't been cleaned since the last tenant lived here. The windows frames were black, the sink had a horrible black stain that wouldn't come off (so I couldn't/ wouldn't use the sink), the hot tap was so hot that it was impossible to use, the walls and floor were covered in stains (including greasy hand prints over the bed...nice...). The shared toilet took half an hour to re-fill, meaning no second flush or using it just after someone else. The reception and cleaning staff all had faces like a slapped 'you-know-what', and were often really rude and unhelpful. Post (mail) is completely unsecured unless it's a parcel, in which case you have to ask the rude staff at reception, when it's open (no good if you have classes until 6pm!). The kettle was disgusting; the inside was covered in black flakes of lime scale and was completely unusable. The kitchen tap only ran cold water and only if you lifted the tap in a certain way. Not recommended!

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.
