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.

Newly built accommodation in Cork, very close to MTU and only about 10 mins away from UCC by bus. It's very convenient money-wise and avails many services such as a gym, small cinema room, two different study rooms and an amazing common room with a pool table, vending machine, televisions and couches to chill on after a long day on campus. Highly recommend this building if you wish to have a fabulous time in Cork and get in touch with students from all different backgrounds and nationalities!!!
Could not recommended this accomodation more. It is very modern and clean. The staff are helpful and facilitating. Very central location and ideal for UCC and MTU students

Been living here 2 years, not planning on leaving! The apartments are cosy and practical, and all amenities are top quality. The place is kept clean, with any maintenance completed swiftly and correct. The staff are very friendly and always up for a chat.
Lived here for two years now and will finish off my time in college living here again next year, Very friendly staff always accomodate for you and help the best they can.
Over the past three years, my stay at this student accommodation has been nothing short of extraordinary. Its prime location strikes the perfect balance between accessibility to university amenities and a tranquil environment conducive to studying. The facilities provided, including well-equipped study areas, communal spaces, and essential amenities like a gym and laundry facilities, have greatly enhanced my living experience. Moreover, the accommodation prioritizes comfort and safety, offering spacious and tastefully furnished rooms alongside 24/7 security measures, ensuring peace of mind for residents. Beyond the physical aspects, the vibrant community atmosphere is a standout feature. Through organized social events and impromptu study sessions, I’ve had countless opportunities to connect with fellow students and forge lasting friendships. However, what truly sets this accommodation apart is its exceptional customer service.
Had a great time at Melbourne so far, I intend to stay here continuously until I finish my course!
