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.
Read Platt Hall Reviews
I loved staying here for the safety and the price - the wifi is reliable and there are ethernet ports in nearly every room. I will say that if you have any issues they re dealt with very promptly and the staff are very friendly. Unfortunately i had issues with aggressive students but they were kicked from the campus whenever they kicked off which was good. I did however have a continued issue with the shower flooding as well as the toilet handle sticking. If you stay here make sure to bring blackout curtains as the ones here are not very good.
Thanks for your feedback
I ******* love it . I made so many cool friends that are like family
We're happy you're enjoying your stay
Good lazer tag for free. Great evening.
Thanks for your feedback. We're happy that you're enjoying the events we put on which are part of our resident life programme.
Could be cheaper, as each year it increases but there are no new changes
Platt Hall remains competitively priced compared to other university accommodation providers in the area. Price increases are generally a reflection of economic factors like increased gas and electricity prices etc
Not enough communal areas to hang out and socialise especially after the closure of study room. They turned the tv room to study room(the only indoor place to hang out). Other thing is they put smoking sheds that supposed to protect from rain and wind but they are useless. Overall not a bad place to stay.
Thanks for your comments. One of the rooms has been closed temporarily so that building work can take place. It will open again on completion of these works. The team will be looking into the comments you raised about smoking sheds. If you have any further concerns/suggestions please speak to a member of the accommodation team.
It is amazing to be living here. Amazing experience

Platt Hall.. awful and dirty and students are always loud the staff is nice though
If you’re studying at Middlesex University then this halls is the best to offer out of the current ones. For your first year, or first time in London, this place is ideal to be to help you adjust to the area and city. The price is high, and there are definitely cheaper options around, but this place would be ideal to start off if you’re new. The tube station is close by, but apart from that the area doesn’t have that many exciting things around but has your essentials like grocery stores for food. There’s always staff around at the office and there are weekly cleaners who’ll clean the kitchen and hallway which is good. For social experience it can really vary depending on who you live with but that is expected, the flats don’t have a common room, just a shared kitchen so there isn’t a social space besides the Writtle house building. The internet definitely has its up and downs and isn’t completely stable. This could depend on where you’re located on site
Not bad as you will have the chance to walk it to the university
value for money is terrible, you can get a way nicer place for way less in the same area, halls just rip you off because they can. Location is good in terms of how close it is to uni and a tube station but if you want to be somewhere with shops and restaurants nearby I wouldn’t recommend. Hall management, especially security, are absolutely useless! So many times I asked for help and they did nothing. A cleaner comes once a week and they do a good job. Platt Halls don’t have a common room. Writtle House, which is in the same location, does have a common room but Platt Halls people are only allowed in there when events are being held and all the events are pretty rubbish. Social experience just depends who you live with but not having a common area makes it difficult to meet other people that aren’t on your degree course. Wifi is good 9/10 times, sometimes cuts out but fixes itself quickly. Overall, would recommend looking on places like SpareRoom because you’ll find a place much nicer.
Basically your experience will be based on luck, I had flat mattes with whom I got on quite well (with one exception) but they made my experience significantly good. In relation to the accommodation, it has everything necessary, I was afraid because of some online complains but honestly I have nothing to complain about. In regards to cleaning, again it depends on how you are and with who you are.
Staff will come into your room alot especially early in the afternoon, it's annoying if you wake up late. There's a fire alarm every friday that nearly gives me a heart attack. apart from that fire alarms go off alot for hours at a time, even at 2am sometimes. forcing people to stay outside. Wifi is bad. Location is perfect, theres so many things around and it's really close to Colindale station. The walk to MDX is tiring because you have to walk up a hill. Can be loud sometimes. But I think Platt is the best halls in MDX. Rooms are big compared to unite and is much closer.
I've had staff barge into my room THREE TIMES, unlocking my door and everything, either to get me out of the room during the fire alarm simulation, fix the door knob or check if i have any guests (at 11 at night)... indeed i should have put the chain on the door BUT there is no way they should act this way, it's breaking the rules of privacy. ALSO the internet is DEAD and there's like a curfew after 00 when they SLOW DOWN the internet to the point that you need to be on 4G on your phone.... I can't wait to get out of here
The wifi is literally the worst in the world. They should get wifi routers for each flat instead of using a large service for everyone that doesn't work. Even in the laundry room when you are doing laundry after purchasing the service on your app it will go out. It's s***
It's nice and social with good standard rooms and kitchen and close to shops and the tube station
Best social parties, can stay outside late, close to uni and tescos plus 500 students. Ivy looks like a prison.
Ineadquate social experience where all student from different country remain unsocialize to each other
Nice experience but some things need to be fixed after some time. (for example the water leaks into my room).
Most of the staff were rude and unhelpful at the best of times.
15min walk from uni, no common room in each flat. Only social space in writtle house.
rather boring. Not sociable enough.
-Nice, big kitchen with actual table. -Proper flats so you share with 5 other people. -No common rooms with TV etc, only in other hall on the same site, only open evenings. -Windows are terrible - draughty and not good at stopping noise. Décor is ok but would be better with laminate flooring. Curtains let light through. -Not very sound-proof. -Laundrette is expensive and there's often not a machine working. - Good location - round the corner from the tube station (Northern Line), enough shops around the area. Around 20 minutes walk to the university. If you're not too bothered about being next to the university or common rooms with TVs, Platt Halls are the best halls Middlesex offers, despite the negatives.
