The staff are particularly delightful and do everything to make the place feel welcoming. Ebony particularly is among one of the most amiable RAs that I have come across.

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.

I had booked a studio for £258 a week on the 12th floor of the new London building; however, due personal circumstances I needed to cancel. The team at Vita (who ironically are only happy to pick up the phone if you want to book, but not to cancel) were very unflexible. They did not allow me to cancel: instead insisting that I needed to find another student to takeover my contract. When I finally found a number of people interested in the accommodation, the Vita team ignored my calls and emails. When they finally replied, they sent me a link to send to the people interested in taking over the room; the link was to a 1) larger room 2) £300+ per moth 3) on the 3rd floor. Essentially, attempting to make money of the person taking over my contract. DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY EVERY, REGRADLESS OF THE PERKS THE PEOPLE ARE NOT HELPFUL IN THE SLIGHTEST WAY. Cathy on the sales team and Grace (the manager) will answer you if you want to book. The headquarters do not pick up the phone.
