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.

Excellent front house staff, friendly and accommodating. Communal spaces are welcoming and the rooms are well-equipped. Any maintenance issues are dealt with swiftly.
Issues take forever to get resolved. Have to be behind them all the damn time.
Fire alarm testing is messed up for 30 min and nobody went to shut it
DO NOT RECOMMEND. Room has recurring leaks, one time it leaked above my bed and was forced to sleep on the chair for 3 nights before they relocated me to another room. I was promised the issue with be resolved within two days. Woke up next morning EARLY on my free day expecting maintenance to come in and fix the room but they did not come. I have asked for a week rent of refund but they ignored it. TWO WEEKS LATER, wooden panel still hasn't been fixed and the ceiling has been painted with no care and paint residue on my floor. However, if there is one thing that is for sure working in this accommodation its the fire alarm. The fire alarm works so well to the point where they test weekly at 11 am and keep the alarm ringing for 20 minutes TWICE to make sure every resident in the building wakes the **** up or get permanent hearing loss Yugo The Curve never fails to disappoint Would give 0/5 if I could
In curve they have fire alarm test every week and some time it’s take 30 minuet to stop it the staff have no idea how to stop it. Also there is leaking every where but they don’t care even in my room there is a big mess on the ceiling. There was a stranger that got in and steel stuff from the building as well and the security was not there as always
Very nice student accommodation.
My experience at the Curve was unacceptable. I stayed there for 4 weeks and did not have hot running water for 3/4 of these weeks. The reception staff did their best to accommodate by letting me swap rooms, however each room had a maintenance problem with the shower. I swapped rooms 3 times during my stay. I reported the issues to staff, but little action was taken. The management is appalling, and the whole building is poorly run. I would not stay here again, and wouldn't recommend this accommodation at all.
Hi Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback about The Curve. I am sorry to read that your short stay with us was impacted by issues with the hot water. While we have an onsite maintenance person there are occassions that works have to be outsourced due to the complex nature such as this particular issue with the hot water. There was a period of time waiting on specialist parts to fix the issue during which I would hope you received updates and time scales for completion from our team. The situation was resolved in full but it appears regrettably the alternate room you were offered during the period of works was further impacted with the same issue. Please accept our sincere apologies that you did not great living experience that we strive to provide for all of our residents.
Very good service and newly renovated studio.
Hi, Thanks for taking the time to post a review about The Curve. I am pleased that you have enjoyed your stay with us in our recentley refurbished accommodation. We have now opened booking for 22/23 so dont miss out on the oppurtunity to live with us again
Very nice looking space, spacious studious, clean and stylish. Delightful reception staff as well as 24/7 security support. Beware that upper floors get awfully hot in smmer.
Thank you for your review, we are glad to hear you are enjoying your stay with us! Yes it has been rather warm upstairs with the recent heatwave we have had - thank you for letting us know, we are looking to keep it cooler for the next heatwave!
I have lived here for 2 years and love it.
Thank you for your review, we love having you stay too! :)
The internet is awesome, not much to say because I was here during the pandemic so that is gonna make any living situation suck
Thank you for your review, we're really looking forward to restrictions easing too so we can have some more social events! :)
A great location for access to the area with university’s just a walk away, plus the social rooms are very spacious and comfortable. And the staff are always happy to help and support where needed.
Thank you for your lovely review! :)
Good facilities and nice rooms. Rooms lack some storage capabilities. We have had limited social experience but this is mostly due to covid more than the accomodation
Thank you for your review! We are so pleased you like the facilities. We can't wait to host some more in person social events once the lockdown restrictions allow! :)
Nice to live their. Unfortunately, with the pandemic it's hard to have social interaction but the staff give their best ti give a great social experience
Thank you for your review! We hope you've been enjoying the events we have been able to put on given the restrictions but we can't wait to be pandemic free too so we can socialise more freely! :)
The Curve is a great student accommodation, with everything we need such as fantastic studying facilities; however, due to the pandemic we haven't been able to use the social spaces such as the cinema room. Overall, it is a great place :)
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We can't wait to be able to reopen and the gym and the cinema too! If you have any film suggestions we'd love to hear them for a movie night once the cinema is open again!
The Curve is a lovely building the interior is organised and designed in such a great way. Large study area and the gym/cinema room are so nice to have when friends come over. Staff are very friendly and helpful (including a full time reception).
Thank you for your lovely review, we are very lucky with all the communal space we have! We're looking forward to being able to use them more as the lockdown restrictions ease up!
Fantastic experience and staff were respectful and friendly. Would come again for another year
We're so pleased to hear it and would love for you to stay with us for another year!
I have had a good experience here overall. It’s really comfortable, close to the supermarket and the staff are really nice. The only downfall was when we were required to move rooms in the middle of first semester and weren’t informed of this move before booking here.
Thank you for your review! We are glad you are enjoying your stay and we hope you like your newly refurbished room! :)
Beautiful accommodation! It's my third time in a row staying at The Curve and now they have refurbished everything. It's so pretty! My room is a Standard Studio and it's the best 14sqm ever: I have a double bed, a huge desk perfect for studying and so much storage space (I really do not travel lightly and I still have so much space I could use). I absolutely love it. The people working here are very nice and helpful! This area of London is great: lots of ethnic restaurants and it's very lively. I feel very safe here. There is a Tesco just below the building which is a blessing, tube is also very close and I can walk to the Tower Bridge in less than 20 minutes. 10/10 perfect.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are so pleased you like the refurbishment :)
I really enjoyed staying at The Curve! The new renovations are beautiful and the staff is super kind and welcoming!
Thank you for your lovely review!
