Unite Students reception team always fabulous — friendly, trustworthy, funny 😁 Love to work with them in all sorts of event and a huge contributing factor to the events in Salisbury. Improvements I wish to see: - the common room with a more unified space, promoting better room usage for events and social activities. Right now the common room seems to segregated and feels abandoned when no one is using them. - less frequency of fire alarms. Currently I have been through 2-3 fire alarms per week at most. Would have been better if there were once every two months. - Value for price and room is considered expensive, especially since it’s a 10 people flat and there is not enough space, cupboard, living room to actually use without bumping into each other. - many maintenance issues occur throughout the year due to the wear and tear period of the items in the flat e.g. oven, hob/stove, fridge, lighting, window ledges, etc. - plumbing issues occurs every half a month.

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.

Really nice student accommodation with lovely staff that are always happy to help with any issues. Problems are dealt with quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately the study room only has either tall tables or low coffee table styles available, which means that as a disabled student I can’t use this room. If they replaced the tall tables with normal height ones it would be perfect.

The staff are very kind in medical emergencies, and it’s in a good location, but otherwise the residents aren’t sociable, the flats are isolating with such big groups, and it’s overall quite an uninviting place to be.

On a whole, an incredibly well managed accommodation complex. The pool table provides great entertainment. The maintenance is always speedy with requests getting fixed within days. The laundry room is expensive and is often packed and hard to get a free washer. A member of staff who deserves great praise is our flat cleaner David. He’s always kind when he comes and does a great job at cleaning. An all around pleasure to deal with.

I studied at UoE for a semester through the exchange program and decided on staying in Salisbury Court strictly because I would have my own room/bathroom. I was put in a 10 person mixed flat. Here is my experience: I love how large the windows and desks are, there's storage under the bed and a closet. I had to go out and buy bedding for myself (which I later found I could have rented from management after having been told I couldn't). The common room in the flat has hobs/ovens, the world's smallest microwave, sinks, cupboards, and a kettle. My real issues with this accommodation are the bed and internet. If you enjoy feeling each and every spring of your bed jabbing into your body the whole night then you will love these beds. I started waking up bruised because of it and finally flipped the mattress over. I now sleep on a very hard surface but it's better than death by springs. Also, the internet constantly is shutting on and off in my room, specifically on my phone. Not good.
