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.

Good being quite central easy to get anywhere you want to be. Price is bit silly but so much cleaner than the townhouses which are disgusting and not a clean environment. Would choose the superior ensuite or ensuite any day over the townhouses as they are actually cleaned whereas the townhouses are not and let's face it most people you are living with do not clean up after themselves

Accommodation is in great condition, rooms are small but cosy and well preserved. Radiators work perfectly and get the room warm in just a couple of minutes which comes in handy during rainy days!

Fylde College is very well situated on campus, not too far from amenities to be a pain but also not too close for noise to be a big issue. The accommodation is on the east side of campus and the motorway is closest to this college meaning that you can always hear it- a bit strange when you're used to hearing sheep and cows in the morning! The wifi is dotty in Fylde Courtyard but is fairly quick within the accommodation and the pool tables are situated within Fylde Bar itself rather than the common room so it can be a little difficult to hear each other when a big match is playing on the screens! The college is seen as the sporty college but you certainly don't have to be sporty to be apart of it- I know I'm not! Everyone fits in here and if you need help with issues there are people to talk to 24/7. I love my halls, even if the wifi is a tad strange sometimes!

The layout of my hall meant that making new friends, not only in my own flat but across all of the flats on both my own floor and the floor above (George Fox building). I think that the social aspects of my hall really helped me come out my shell and enjoy university even more.
