Most helpful review

The shitest accommodation - falling down, everything is broken, sky light turns to a water feature at the slightest hint of rain. It literally takes decades to walk to uni, don't even think about walking to the clubs, bring a sleeping bag and camp out. its only positive is the people, put the random weirdoes aside and you'll make best friends. which is good because you're too far away from the rest of the world to make any other friends. If you end up here, it will work but bring a bike :)

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.

This hall is absolutely insane, it's basically lawless (although unfortunately not completely) and you make the best friends. You are close to the SU and its only like a 10 minute cycle from the Uni. You are also near mountain biking and its a great place to run because the scenery is beautiful.

Quaint and humble accommodation that allows for a more reserved living space, while still preserving the student social atmosphere. Only problem with location is the distance from university and the centre, however the scenery in the area helps to make up for the time spent travelling to and from campus. More freedom available as no warden on site which allows for a more comfortable lifestyle while better preparing students for future years in private properties.
