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.

Great place overall. Make sure to socialise with flatmates as it will help you get through the year quickly and make it enjoyable.
Overalll very good, I shared a kitchen however with 8 other people which considering the size of the kitchen was too many. Cramped and overused during lunch/dinner times.
too much unannounced maintenance work towards the end of the year.
Great place to mark friends and meet people. The price is very good considering we’re in London.
PROS: Facilities such as the vaccum, oven, shower head etc. at Pooley House kept breaking BUT the hall management team was AMAZING. There was a reception team based at France House but you can call them if you ever run into ANY problems in terms of maintenance and they'll repair it either the day of or day after really quickly and they'll even send you email updates regarding your issue and their progress. SUPERB. CONS: Keep in mind that QMUL is a relatively small campus uni! So in terms of location, it's alright since it is still walking distance to everything on campus but in comparison to the other houses, its location is a bit of a nuisance. It is the furthest away as it is at the end of the campus so you'd have to keep that in mind when you're carrying heavy bags of groceries or when you're late for class etc. Lack of social spaces but Pooley House is known for always hosting amazing parties so it was never a problem. Overall, definitely a good place to stay
amazing, great rooms, great price and if any problems they where resolved quickly
Great, But can get loud at times.
Ensuite but not a good size. My flat had 10 rooms and some were considerably larger, it was mainly dependent on where it was in the building. The lift was broken way too frequently in my block and that was an issue since there are 7 floors. The cleaners in my flat were extremely bad. Some of my flatmates were very dirty and the cleaners really didn't care to make the situation better. One of them would sing so loudly in the morning she would wake the whole flat up. My complaints were either ignored or once we got a poster saying how we weren't fulfilling our responsibilities so the cleaner didn't have to do her job. To explain better, a knife was left in the sink which smelled of fish after a weekend of not being cleaned and so we could barely go in the kitchen. When I complained they said well she didn't have to do anything today because the knife was there. Pity that some flatmates don't care about the rest and some cleaners aren't willing to work. Overall my experience was meh...
Fire alarm when off more than any other hall, the wifi is terrible, and the communal spaces are tiny when you have 9 in a flat. Also, it is the hall farthest back on the campus.
