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.

In general, Carr Saunders is a very pleasant Hall, coming in on the cheaper side of London Accommodations. Despite this, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the warden team are great at answering questions and resolving issues.

The small size of the halls ensures a tight-knit community for all. The wifi could be a bit more reliable at times but other than that no complaints whatsoever.

Go here. You don't know it, but it's the best hall in London. OK, it's not glam. But it is good. You will make friends, chill, enjoy Soho on the doorstep. Just everything about it is good. If you want super duper ensuite malarkey, it's not for you.

Certainly one of the best years of my life. The small number of students makes it easier to familiarize yourself with the rest of the residents and ensures a thriving social experience. The Common Room is exceptional as well, with 2 TVs, a PS4, vending machines, a pool table, a Ping Pong table and an ample seating area suitable for many activities, from pre-drinks to board games. The cafeteria food is nice as well, particularly on holidays!
