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’ve been living in IQ Magenta House for 1 year and my overall experience wasn’t great. The location is amazing and very convenient to get to any part of the city, and the room contains everything you need. However, I was extremely unlucky with my neighbors and administrative staff didn’t want to solve any problems they caused. Eventually, during this year I was flooded, I had my room full of fume because of my flatmate who wasn’t careful enough with her cooking, and last 2 months I was suffering from ants all over my room because new flatmates didn’t clean after themselves at all! I made multiple complaints but was just promised that they would speak with my flatmates and encourage them to be more tidy, respectful etc but nothing changed! I paid a huge amount of money but didn’t get any support and was suffering from dirtiness in the shared kitchen all over the year. I wouldn’t recommend this place to stay because of the attitude of the administration who didn’t care at all.
