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.

A fantastic building with all the amenities you need. Key issues include, 'secure' bike storage that experienced numerous bike thefts, a big variability in kitchen quality, and unreliable lifts for an 18-floor building.

I stayed in Woodward which was around a 30 minute commute to the campus. I have 0 complaints about it. The single en suite rooms are fantastic. Their en suites are amazing with phenomenal showers. The only complaint one might have is the distance but if one is happy with commuting for 30 mins via tube, then Woodward is perfect.

Amazing value for money given its in London, only offered to 1st year students though. It’s located in North Acton so quite far away but it’s great for students on a budget, right next to the central line which can take you to Queensway where you can walk through Hyde park to get to imperial. Generally very social, great communal areas and events held all year. The area is also very student friendly with great facilities such as a gym, mini Tesco and pub all within a 2 min walk. Rooms are a great quality, all en-suite I think. Decent study space in rooms and communal kitchens. Cannot complain about this accommodation

Nice quality hall. Far from campus though. Area is getting nicer and more vibrant as more students move in, so it has lots of potential.

Cheap, pretty far away from campus. The cleaning team were too nice to me considering how messy my room usually is. The common room is nice to chill in with everyone, but you get kicked out of kitchens at 11pm which makes lil group parties pretty difficult. Wifi was brill but I had to reconnect my computer at some point every day because it would just stop working.

Very cheap, but too far away (30-40min tube). Was brand new the year we stayed, thus everything looked and worked great. Kitchen cleaned twice a week but your flatmates will ensure it is unspeakably uninhabitable again within a few hours. The social life in the hall was great, whether at management organised events like the summer bbq or just in terms of walking around, making friends, turning up at a big pres and whatever flat. Last but not least, I had 700mpbs wifi in my room!!

Main gripe is the cheap construction quality, we had towel racks, tvs and door stops breaking too often. It’s also in North Acton, so... area isn’t great. Besides that it’s a fun and lively place to spend 1st year and you save so much money on accomodation

So cheap. Social activities are really good with big events each term and 3 bbqs over summer. Furthest away from campus but you get to see a lot more of London and get to know everyone else really well.
