Most helpful review

The housing prices in Bristol are a disaster for students! Fortunately, Orchard Heights saved us. We were able to rent a room we like at a price lower than the market average, and the interior space is large, which is very suitable for one person to live comfortably!

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.

Rooms are small and the walls are very thin making it feel cheap and overpriced, however it is an acceptable living space

My experience at orchard heights was great. The rooms themselves were big and had everything I needed, and were pathetically pleasing as well. The kitchen area was very big. The staff were friendly and were available at all times if needed. The social spaces were great as well, especially the activities such as pool tables and ping pong.

Tips: If you don’t like noises on Friday’s night&Weekend don’t choose Block C, it placed over O2 academy. You need to know, that sometimes your maintenance could be fixed very long. I was waiting for 31 days till fixing of my toilet flush. In general, good accommodation, with short distance to city centre/Wills memorial building(where some of your exams will be) Overall review 4/5.

Wonderful social spaces and study rooms where I can study downstairs and have some fun with my friends at the same time. Excellent projector for watching football matches or playing video games. Room is big and spacious and the location of the accommodation is excellent, the closest one to the university. If I were a new student, I would put orchard heights as my first choice.

Such a good location and within walking distance to everything especially clubs and shops. Bit of a hilly walk to the uni but it’s a good work out. A mix of social and unsocial flats, you just got to get lucky
