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.

Very close to the uni, supermarkets and major stations. However, there is no common room in this House so that nobody can watch a TV. It's very noisy in night as we often hear people speaking loudly outside the building at 2 or 3 am. If you live in basement or ground floor, you will always hear noise from tube trains. This area is not safe at all as there was a murder in front of the House in Feb 2019.
<Good> Very close to the campus. Three tube stations are available. Four National Rail stations are also no more than 20 minutes on foot. There are many supermarkets close to the House. The building is old so that major troubles are common, such as water outage, but they are generally solved within several hours. <Bad> Laundry facilities are awful. According to my diary, either washers or dryers go faulty approximately every six weeks. It is very noisy. Drunk people often speak loudly in night such as 2 or 3 am. Noise from tube train is also significant (note that there are 24 hrs services on Fridays and Saturdays). There is no common room in this building at all. Nobody can watch a TV unless you go to Schafer House. This area is not always safe especially in night. You may occasionally hear homeless people fighting each other. In February 2019, there were at least three stabbing within 200 yds of the House, and one of them were murder just in front of the House.
