Studying and staying in London was both exciting and challenging. London’s educational environment is incredibly stimulating, with a range of top-notch universities and diverse study resources available everywhere. My university offered excellent facilities, and the lecturers were very knowledgeable and supportive. I was able to make connections with students from around the world, and the multicultural environment truly enriched my learning experience. Accommodation, however, was a different story. Housing in London is notoriously expensive, and finding a place that’s both affordable and convenient was tough. I stayed in a student dorm for part of my time, which was helpful for networking and immersing myself in student life, but it was a bit cramped and had basic amenities. Later, I moved to a flat share, which was more comfortable and had more privacy but required a commute, which added time and cost to my day.

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.
