Overall is great. The gym could be better. I had to go somewhere else, because there are not many free weights or at least two benches to work.

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’s been good and bad. Some staff here are really friendly and helpful but some are not. Due to lockdown, we can’t use gym and the communal area and they’re not giving us a reduction in rent as these facilities were promised before I moved in. I suggest moving into a flat share with your friends is the best option because at Scape there’s almost no privacy, your next door neighbor can hear everything you say in your room, the wall is very thin. I should have knew that before moving in. I do not recommend moving into a student accommodation during the pandemic because no one listens to the rules and parties are taking place here every weekend and sometimes during the week. The location is not too bad and the area is decent, but still not recommended. Btw bullying happen here and people are not nice unless you’re friends with them. There’s better options than here!

I am in my first year at Ravensbourne - I received a discounted room and decided to stay here as they marketed it as if there was no where else to stay, as well as the short commute. I received little to no information prior to moving in, the only emails I got were to ask for my money. The staff are incredibly rude and not very helpful - when you smile and say hello in the morning they simply ignore you. The lifts rarely work & the place generally smells. They market it as a lot of social events, but there aren't really any and you have to pay for them, there are limited spaces usually. The rooms are okay - they are spacious for what they are but aren't clean at all, all of the plugs were blocked when I moved in, there are bugs everywhere and there has been pest control in. The only positive is the location! Think twice before moving here, there are so many better options! Unite Students at Stratford is where I'll be moving next year, an incomparable atmosphere!

The WiFi goes away often and the staff Is overall nice even if I had problems at the beginning because they were extremely incompetent and did not manage to answer any of my questions. Social spaces are very nice even if they make you pay for events and this inhibits my will to attend their organized parties. Rooms are overall clean even if I don’t like the smell on my floor but have noticed it is not the same as others. It is expensive but it has everything you need and it’s very nice. It has a big window, a modern bathroom,a kitchen with everything you need and huge desk which is very comfortable. There is plenty of space for clothes and stationery.

I am very pleased with the night staff as they are always helpful at anytime of the evening. Those are Haitham and Apoque.

This accommodation is by far the worst for anyone at Ravensbourne Uni. There are countless problems including toilets running for many days straight, carpet worms living in the carpets around a significant number of people's rooms and mold growing in fridges caused by fridge leaks. I've come from New York and didn't receive a discounted room, and I'm now forced to live with worms and mold, which are a health hazard in themselves. Do not rent here. The wifi goes out regularly and the staff, and maintenance is extremely unhelpful. It isn't worth the price of the room and the limited space that you receive.

It's super expensive but is in a really lovely and convenient location, walking distance from the o2 and my uni, the staff are lovely and the place is hygienic and clean. Rooms are small but I guess that's to be expected. You have your own microwave, two hobs and a fridge/freezer which is nice. A little annoying that you don't have an oven and have to go downstairs if you want to cook something, but not too much of a problem.

Loud people, generally stupid people who want to waste £9000 a year on a a photography or media degree. Rude staff, no cleaning, no social atmosphere. It's way too hot in the rooms in summer, even with windows open and fans turned on.
