Most helpful review

The best Goldsmiths halls for parties and socialising. Super close to both the uni, supermarket and station. Security are definitely present which could be a positive or negative depending on who you are. The cleaners are good but will refuse to clean if you leave a mess. Loved my time here.

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.

It is a great place to meet people and extremely close to campus. However, I would have liked to feel safer in the area and for the accommodation to have more social spaces.

Everything is good. Bathroom could be improved a lot! Also, the Wi-Fi can be very weak.

loring hall don't let you have friends. you have to scan in with your card to enter. if ur not in loring and try and go in there you get a mouthful from the reception. tried to go in with my friend once just to go to the loo, took about 10 mins of signing in and showing IDs and explaining why we were there just to get inside. not worth it. also they always put on the special group things like thanksgiving meals and s*** but its literally just some biscuits and swash on a table where nobody sits and they just steal the food back to their rooms

My block was furthest from the entrance security office - the front is opposite a primary school playground so you'll hear screaming kids 8am-3pm, if you're at the back of the building there's lots of train lines close so you'll hear loud trains late into the night and early in the morning. It was freezing cold in autumn/winter and didn't help that our heating was CONSTANTLY breaking. The hot water was fine, but the radiators would not turn on, they would send someone to fix it (who seemed to just turn the boiler on and off again), by the next day it would have stopped again, then the process starts all over. The staff at the management centre were generally friendly but two women at the desk were incredibly rude though and would ignore you while texting or chatting to each other and then glare at you not saying anything when they finally notice/hear you. At least hire staff that don't bite your head off for "disturbing" their chatting by just wanting your parcel or to get in.

Stayed here in my first year, its a very 'party centric' hall, with a load of eighteen year olds running amok! Pretty fun if you wanna make friends. The rooms are a good size and the location is literally in the campus so you can't complain. It's london though, so its very expensive.

Location is so convenient. The hall management is good, very organised. The social areas are clean and the kitchen is well kept. It would be nice to have a place where we can sit together, other than the kitchen. Wifi is slow and sometimes doesn't work. Hard to watch things like iplayer.

nice London halls - my flat was very unsociable and people really kept to there selves but there were plenty of flats where people all hung out. Really close to station and easy to get into central London is 20 minutes.
