Most helpful review

It is different to any other student accommodation, I am baffled when my friend from uni dont have their student accom cleaned regularly. Princes Garden is a very nice area and literally in front of Imperial. Unfortunately, theres no close grocery shop or affordable food around there (except campus food; heavily subsidized and yummy).

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.

I had a fantastic first year at Imperial in Linstead - but you really do have to make the most of it. The only reason the price can be justified is the location. A prime SW7 post code you will boast in using! Cleaning wise, everything is pretty standard with kitchens cleaned twice a week but make sure you stay on top of room cleaning, as that's only once a month and the cleaners aren't brilliant. The common room is lovely, and if you're free sunday morning the free brunch put on by hall seniors is a good way to cure a hangover and socialise with fellow Linsteadians. 5 minute walk radius includes all of the South Ken campus, Museums and Royal Albert Hall so get exploring! It's unusual compared to other University halls in that it's a bit like a hotel room with large kitchens on each floor, which is nice, but it's quite antisocial and I found a lot of my friends outside of halls. Overall a proud place to call home for the year.
