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.

5-10 minutes walk from Kings Cross station. Room has all the basics but on the pricier side. There’s MyPup service for parcels. Downside is WiFi doesn’t reach the basement where the laundry is so you got to walk upstairs to connect to the app.

Even though it's extremely expensive, it was worth it as a fresher to make friends in a big city like London. Facilities are great and the students you meet will be from a variety of backgrounds studying in different universities.

Extremely extremely bad student accomodation. I have been staying here for a year now - they took a deposit from me in the beginning and were supposed to refund it by the end of the year - they havent been able to do so. I have been following up with them since 2 months - they keep dodging my emails and calls. I have had to get in touch with several people from the management team and they all conveniently say the finance team is answerable and they cant do anything about it. if i ask them to get me in touch with the finance team they say no. this is just one point. the maintainence in the building is poor, the security is non-existent - there was a homeless person caught living on the staircase in the building. they put panells all over my window ( i live on the 3rd floor) saying it will come off by the end of the 1st term - the panels came off late in march/april. they dont adhere to timelines and are not cooperative. the hot water stops running and laundry machines dont work

Really horrible staff, who have treated me with nothing but disrespect. I cannot emphasise how terrible they have been to me. Otherwise, the bronze twin studio room is extremely small - it is not enough space for two people. The staff prefer my roommate, so in any dispute they take her side. Again, really really mean staff - especially the front of house manager.

Overall it is very good, despite its prices is relatively high, but given its location and environment there is nothing much I can complain about. However, the staff are not very efficient in terms of solving issues and replying email and messages.

One of the best places to live. That is if you manage to get an empty room
