If this is your first place away from home you might think it’s a bit dingy and run down but I’m a mature student who’s actually lived in house shares and proper dives so to me it’s quite tidy and nice here. There are plenty of toilets so you never feel like your toilet has seen a hundred arses that day. The showers are decent and my favourite feature - huge baths! These would sell the place even if every else was dire. My room has a lovely view, the younger students are fine, a bit giggly and loud from time to time but it’s actually quite endearing to listen to for a jaded old git like me. The communal kitchens are left in a bad way by them though, but I’m catered option so it doesn’t bother me much. The internet is dire but I’m going to try and sort this soon. May be solvable. Longbrook for life!

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

There's a lack of communal areas but the kitchen stands in for this, and the grass area out the front hosted a few prinks too. Less than a minute to the canteen, library and lecture rooms.
Great place to live, wish there was a common room area to chill out in and wish rooms were a little bigger
My experience living in Longbrook was horrific, I shared a room with another girl who went slightly off the rails and ended up seeing someone about alcoholism.. I shared 4 toilets and 4 showers with 15 other boys and girls, no-one seemed to clean up after themselves leaving sick and many other disgusting things for the next user. The beds were very uncomfortable, the wifi only worked in a few rooms and the Ethernet was useless. Some of the rooms were freezing cold, even with the radiator on full, resulting in illness. I moved out at Christmas.
