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.

Student Review: 3.1 /5
By member1292323 On 11th October 23 verified Verified student

I live in a 2b2b with my good friend and we have known each other for more than 5 years. We chose this accommodation mainly because it's easy to get to both of our schools (LCC & UCL) from here. There are grocery stores and underground stations nearby, which is convenient. Highlights are the tennis courts right on the front doorstep and the ten-minute walk to Tate Modern and the South Bank of the Thames. There are also something to be complained: The rooms are so small that I can't fit a yoga mat in it. It's a bit depressing when you've lived here for a long time. The soundproofing isn't very good. You can hear what your roommate is doing sometimes even if she is not a noisy person. The gym is also very small. Normally half of the laundry machines are not working.

This property is very overpriced and poorly managed. All of the promised social spaces are still under construction two weeks in of my staying. The site is extremely unsafe with no proof of residency required to access all part of the building. The fire alarms go off at least five times a day.

Stayed for one year. Fantastic location, uni is 20 minutes walk near. Services are great, reception is 24hrs so able to get help anytime; maintenance is fast and reliable. Room is clean and all facilities are in good condition. They also did inspections several times to make sure everything in the room is normal during the year. Overall def recommended.
