Finding Student Accommodation

The historic city of Oxford is home to over 42,000 students split between 2 universities and 76 halls.

Oxford is a small city with almost a quarter of the population being students. The city is easy to explore by bike or foot but there are lots of public transport options including the BROOKESbus going between the halls of Oxford Brookes, the train station, and the city centre. In the city centre you can find the historical Covered Market as well as the large shopping centre, Westgate Oxford. There are plenty of outdoor spaces to explore like the Botanical Gardens and Port Meadow just a few minutes’ walk from the centre. Oxford is home to River Cherwell, a great place to go punting with friends when you want to have some time away from university work. Read more about Oxford

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.
