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.

One of the most sociable accommodations at Royal Holloway; Large kitchen; Modern and newest accommodation

I don't get the whole 'unsocial' thing on the previous review? Most of my house hung out in the kitchen, but you can choose to be anti-social in your room if you like. The kitchen it very spacious and everyone gets 2 cupboards and a drawer, so there are no fights. Good dining table for pre-drinks. It is a shame there's no questionnaire for housemates, but out of 11 other people, there's bound to be some good ones. The living room was relatively useless, but I used it once to watch a film with a projector which was good. The shared bathroom was no biggie, shower was hot, pressure is okay. Nice big bedroom too, and you can dim the lights. It's right next to campus which is good. Cleaner's for some reason rarely cleaned the bathrooms, I didn't really understand that. Fastest internet on campus by the way. I'd stay there again.
Covid-19: Luckily they gave the option to cancel your contract, however, if like me you were unable to leave and then unable to pay (due to you and your family having no jobs) then they were abysmal, and didn't seem to understand that it wasn't my choice to be there, and that I was no longer (legally) allowed to leave and they were not allowed to evict me if I couldn't pay. Also, the staff didn't seem to understand when I had a sign outside my house door saying (household members only, I can clean the house myself). The cleaners being essential? Hell no.
Department of George Elliot halls didn't help at any cost due to which we had to face so many problems.
Best accommodation on campus!
Great place to live and study
The introverts dream - if you're the kind of person that will likely stay in their room a lot and keep to themselves, you will love these halls. However, if you plan on being social you'll probably not enjoy these halls. Since everyone is split up into 4s and sectioned on each floor, it's very isolating. I was worst off as out of the 12 people in the flat, the two missing people - one girl who dropped out and a second international who barely interacted with us and was never there in general - were on my floor, meaning my floor was a ghost town by the end of the year as it was just me and my mate. The uni experience of knocking on someones door to hang out or running into people and just hanging out as a flat is just not here - i've noticed a lot of people complain about how their flat wasn't really a close unit. A huge issue I have is with the cleanliness of the kitchen. One bin between 12 people isnt enough!
Allocation to halls is random. They will not put students in quiets halls. Hall Life is not very helpful at sorting out disputes. Bullying is rife. Cleaning is not thorough. Very expensive but best on campus.
I love George Eliot, I'm going to miss it next year. The kitchen is modern and the bedroom are double with lots of storage. The bathroom is shared with one other person and is cleaned weekly. The staff at the hall reception are also very friendly.
