I chose the on campus accommodation due to security and having opportunities to engage with the various communities as well as students easily. They are very supportive and available in need. The houses here are good and very hygienic. I really am enjoying my time here.

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 kitchen space is huge, which I love the most about this accommodation. It's worth every single penny, but in the future, they can reduce the cost of living so many students can afford this and gain experience.

Decent accommodation but could definitely find something bigger/cheaper within London. I enjoyed the social aspect of halls and made a lot of friends. However, when I was in halls we constantly had security in our building after Freshers Week and found out at the end of the year it was because an intruder came into our building and sexually assaulted someone. Also, someone was stabbed on campus. Cleaning staff were always friendly though and the internet was decent.
The accommodation is nice and clean and there is plenty to do around the area. There is a gym next to the buildings, a basketball court, and a good place to walk next to the Thames. The transport is very good and there are two dlrs on dock lands campus, as well as buses that go to Stratford campus. There is a campus shop that sells overpriced snacks and food. On the other hand there are a lot of alternative places to eat, at least two coffee shops to choose from , a canteen for lunch and an outside foot truck that varies depending on the day. The library is very good everything you need and want in a library. The accommodation however can be unpleasant as noise problems are rarely solved by calling the security, and they were issues with kitchens and bathrooms and had to be relocated one year. Third year was much better.
Not good enough compared to other universities
Halls were basic, no communal spaces and next to an extremely loud airport
2 years living on campus couldn’t be any better lovely accommodation.
The halls are nothing exceptional, too expensive considering what they offer.
