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 Booked Castle Hill for my final year of university, due to it being a studio predominant property. the studio was by far the cheapest studio with an oven in Cambridge. I enjoy the size of the property and the management are lovely. My only issue is there is not enough shelving included in the room.

From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed with thoughtful souvenirs, delicious edibles, and some basic amenities, instantly making me feel at home. The rooms are state-of-the-art, impressively spacious, and offer a comfortable living environment. The gym and common room are definite highlights – both well-equipped and inviting spaces for socializing and unwinding after classes. The proximity to campus and nearby facilities makes it incredibly convenient. The staff's friendly and accommodating nature further elevates the experience.

Castle Hill is an amazing place to stay with an amazing community and staff. Donna and Simona work extremely hard and it all definitely shows in the building. I was so lonely last year but now I have friendly faces saying hello every time they see me walk by. I’m thrilled to help as an RA as well and further foster this community by holding events and activities like karaoke or games nights. I’m also disabled and the accessibility is amazing. So worth it!
