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 think the foosball table should be taken away and replaced with a pool table. The tv is in a weird spot where there’s a lack of space and should be where the pool table is.
Thankyou you can speak about this in further details with the RAs
Good service, polite people all around!
Thankyou
Very good service, make sure that I have a smooth transition with Unite Student in order to enjoy my stay. Juliet and Mehrdad ensured that my experience was good.
We are here to support our students throughout their time with us
I have only had issues with maintenance requests taking weeks in some instances to be respond. Every now and then there would also be Wi-Fi issues but I was able to contact the customer service team and they would be resolved quite promptly. The location of the accommodation is close to my university and the city centre so it is quite convenient in terms of access to transport.
Thankyou
I was helped by a staff member names Laeticia who helped me move rooms since I was having problems at my last room and she was the best ! Constantly updating me and making sure everything was okay enough for me. I couldn’t have asked for someone better to help me
Hello, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review, and for your amazing feedback on an experience you had with us. We are delighted to read that Laeticia really took the time to make sure you had support and was kept in the loop throughout. Best wishes, Your Unite Students team in Birmingham
I had the privilege of being assisted by Laeticia from the student experience team. Her personalized attention and dedication were truly remarkable. She helped me review my case diligently, uncovering debts I wasn’t even aware of. Her professionalism and commitment made a significant difference in resolving my situation. I highly recommend Laeticia for her exceptional service and support.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review - we really appreciate the feedback! Best wishes, Your Unite Students team in Birmingham
Unite accomodations are brilliant all-around and take away the stress of general living from anyone who signs up for a tenancy with them, leaving you with only the basics that need to be taken care of - and that includes getting the tenancy itself. Service is brilliant - I resigned for tenancy today, but I believed I would be unable to until a Unite Village colleague, Ben, immediately assisted me through the process of getting a place for the new academic year, quick and easy. I cannot recommend Unite service enough.
Spoke to Mehrdad. He was incredibly insightful and spent 45 minutes with me going through various different options. I can’t recommend him enough. Thanks Mehrdad!
Thankyou
The staff are amazing. Aneeqa, Paris and Ben are the best humans I've ever met. They're helpful customer service has made my stay here at Unite better.
Thankyou

This block is full of international students and not good for an English student especially if you are a fresher trying to meet new people.
One of the best accommodations I have seen. Great prices and great location
not happy at all this year Last year was much better
Pretty good except for events during freshers.
Everything was new and it was ugh the next to tesco and uni mainbuild - perfect
