Most helpful review

£200 a week and I can hear the people in the rooms next to me conversations. Old building and dirty when moved in and furniture and curtains broken. Loud car park outside, and maintenance hub in the bottom of the building where they come and go from 7am - wasn't even in the contract that staff would be in the building every day. Small kitchens and sharing with 15 people (yes for £200 a week), and maintenance give you dirty looks as your walking in and out of the building (which they work in, and you're paying rent for) !

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.

Faraday Hall is a celebrity hall throughout campus as it ticks everything you need on the checklist but is only available to specific people and limited possibility of a first year student to get a room here.

The walls make your room look like a prison cell and you might find a few "unidentifiable" stains about. It really is a god awful place but has some of the most characterful people on campus, be sure if you go to Faraday you don't mind a few late nights.
