Most helpful review

Since moving into Canvas in September I’ve felt very comfortable and has made my uni experience that bit better! Sharon on the front desk was the first person I spoke to here and ever since she’s been the most friendly person you could ask for, along side her, the other receptionist Ali has also been amazing, they both compliment each other so well with their bubbly personalities and warm greetings. The accommodation is also kept so clean by the lovely lady Donna who does an amazing job at keeping it that way, as well as the receptionists she has an amazing warmth about herself too! Also thanks to the management who have helped with my problems I had with uni or my room especially when I first moved in.

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.

I had an exceptional experience with both Sharon and Ali! Sharon went above and beyond to resolve my issue. She was warm, professional, and explained everything clearly, making the entire experience stress-free. Both Sharon and Ali genuinely cared about residents’ satisfaction and ensured that I felt heard and valued. I highly recommend them both for their excellent service. A special shoutout to Donna for maintaining the cleanliness and tidiness of the common spaces.

I have enjoyed living here. The management team are very nice but we're unable to fix a few issues in my room for the entire year unfortunately (one of my windows doesn't close, this was the case the day I moved in) I enjoy the events the building out on regularly and feel they are very inclusive of different cultures.

Canvas Wembley is a very nice accommodation but there isn’t social interaction at all and the area itself seems quite isolated and far from everything else. The location is the biggest con for me.

Constant questioning by management towards the end of my tenancy saying that I needed to move out, even though I'd paid up until September. This involved staff knocking on my door at all times of the day and cleaners attempting to clear out my room in the tenancy. Constant changing of staff. The corridors are very noisy and when complaints are raised only told 'wear earplugs'. I had to use white noise to sleep most nights of the year. I wouldn't recommend living here.

DO NOT LIVE HERE, myself and my flatmates spent 2 years at Canvas. our first year was great under its original management. However there has been a recent turnover of staff and we can safely say we have never been treated so badly by a company and its management. Not an ounce of respect for any of the students living there, they claimed to be helpful and open to us and any issues we had when in actual fact when we did have issues we were shouted at and treated like dirt. After giving Barnard point nearly £100,000 as a flat we were shown zero respect when asking for a singular days extension, any contact we had with management was through reception staff who were rude and unable to take any complaints we had seriously.
