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.

Nice, relaxed atmosphere. No common room, but this means that everyone socialises in each others flats which lends to a good, personal experience.

First off, the wifi is absolutely amazing here! Watching Netflix or other on demand TV shows, and it doesn't buffer at all. The location of the halls is ok, with a short 15 minute bus ride to Elephant and Castle or Westminister if you're taking in the sights. However, it isn't the nicest of areas itself, but not as bad some other reviews make out. Value for money is good compared to most of the other accommodation UAL had to offer, and there is a local Tesco and Lidl within walking distance. The only real downside to Bernard Myers House is the lack of a common room. It is literally just your kitchen which will serve as a common room, there is no single room for all students to chill out in. I'd give it a solid 4/5 overall. Not bad at all
