Ofc you can see - the accommodation is pretty old. However, they look after it. If you are lucky enough with your flatmates, it is always clean here. The cleaning team is great and very polite. Same with the main services. You can call them 24/7 and they always respond.

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.

Personally, I really liked living in Floyer House, it was in a very convenient place right on the Whitechapel campus, so I could just roll out of bed and be in lectures within 10 mins maximum. The safety of the location is not great - it's quite a rough place after it gets dark. My window outlooked Ashfield street, and I'd regularly not be able to sleep because of drunk shouting and loud music. I have to say, the only 'social' place within the accomodation was a corridor with some sofas, quite pathetic I'd say. The price of the place may seem high, but it's London, so it's actually on the cheaper side.

The accommodation is very close to UNI, tube station, bus services, groceries, hospital everything is so close by. Tower bridge is at 20 min walking distance. The accommodation location is just very perfect. I can ignore everything else.

Dont be put off by the bad reviews. Its a great location to campus and is cleaned daily. Whitechapel itself is not as bad as people say. Just dont go out alone at night like anywhere else. Dawson may look more green and lush but its quite a trek to lectures. Students union and other facilities are also at whitechapel. If you have lectures or societies at Mile End you can also walk because it is quite close.

I like the fact that it's situated right next to the lecture hall which is a major convenience, but at the same time I have to admit that it is in one of the worst possible locations in the whole of London, and I really would have preferred Dawson as it is in a much better part of London which is cleaner and more central. My friends agree with me that the other QMUL halls are far better, I would have much preferred to stay elsewhere. It is ok value for money, but there is no communal area apart from the garden in the centre which has a small badminton court. I suppose you have the post room at the entrance but that doesn't really count. The internet is good and we get free snacks during special events eg. green week but they are quite rare.
