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.

Comfortable rooms and nice common area BUT had several issues (some very concerning and dangerous issues that management didn’t want to solve & eventually ended up moving back home because of how unhappy and expensive this place was. Electricity issues happened often. On so many occasions we’ve been left with no lights and no way to get them to turn them on, especially over Christmas and New Years.

When we arrived in September 2020, the flat was left dirty which wouldn’t be good at any time but we were in the middle of a pandemic so having vegetables down the side of the sofa, dust everywhere and a very unclean floor wasn’t a nice experience to settle into when moving in. It is a nice modern building but it is poorly built - at the start of our tenancy there was cracks in the ceilings everywhere and as the year progressed these cracks spread across the whole width of our kitchen ceiling. Our flat had 2 double kitchen windows meaning it was constantly very warm in our flat as the windows do not have blinds, which is something I would recommend the Croft invest in for kitchens/communal areas. Due to the pandemic we were unable to use the facilities all year such as the gym and communal study and pool area downstairs but this is something which is included in the price of the Croft so I think the money wasn’t worth it because we were unable to use these facilities.

The coronavirus pandemic has affected many student accommodations. For one being extremely strict and sending intimidating emails due to fire alarms accidentally being set off and flats meeting other flats through emails nearly every week at the beginning of the year. I understand that we are in a pandemic but isolating students and making them feel mentally alone is actually nasty behaviour. Due to this I’m not a fan of the staff. However the main maintenance guy, Andy is fantastic and has helped many students living at the croft by being quick efficient and kind.

if you expect a modern room, this suits you, and it close to the bus stop and easy to go town center, but if you don't like the smoke or weed smell you need to choose your flatmate who doesn't smoke, cause the staff doesn't do anything when you complain many times.

Absolutely love it, would recommend to anyone who is coming to the University of Derby. Clean, modern, stylish and top top tier staff! Very good sized rooms and perfect social spaces (although I did not get to use most of them due to Covid-19) best student accommodation in Derby in my opinion :)

From its impressive architectural edifice to the incredible accommodation offerings ( excellent wifi, modern finishings etc) the Croft is a promise kept, and surpassed. A Serene environment strategically and conveniently located few minutes away from major facilities including the university. The onsite staff are highly professional, efficient and friendly, working tirelessly to ensure the property is impeccably maintained to the highest standards at all times. Also, the exciting give- aways make your stay even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend.

Not awful, but just go over the road to Cathedral Court. For like £2 more a week you get a lift that works, laundry fees that don't require a second student loan and lights that don't turn off mid shower
