Most helpful review

The flats only come with a kitchen and a table so there isn’t any nice social space like at other unis. No sofas or even any communal spaces downstairs shared with all the flats. Could definately be improved but the rooms and bathrooms were spacious

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.

The rooms are slightly outdated, with little work been done to them. The room walls had dents in and the kitchen .ooks very outdated too. It needs freshen up.

The building is quite old and the communal area (kitchen) is pretty faulty, with appliances often breaking down, as well as cleaning not being very good. Also, our windows never really open so the musty smell never truly leaves, as well as being quite small and faulty compared to other accommodations

I was so lucky! the kitchen in my flat faces the canal and the park behind it. My room as well has the same view. Both the kitchen and the bedroom are really large and I get along well with my flatmates.
