Living in CityBlock Marton Street was great (even during the pandemic). I guess a lot depends on the people that you live with, but the facilities are great, and the environment is really good for meeting people and socialising. The shared kitchen for superior en-suite and superior-plus en-suite occupants are great for socializing. Other benefits are: good cleaning staff (shared spaces and room cleaning); on-site launderette, and a reception which during normal times functions well, meaning you can get parcels any day of the week (not weekends though). The rooms are good too (the beds are small doubles), and the environment is not bad for studying either (the lights are good enough for reading). In addition, the location is great -- in comparison to Penny Street and Gillows, I think Marton Street is most central. This is of benefit if you party at Glow Rooms, as it is extremely easy to get back later. If you have a car, there is also a car park nearby where you can park it.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Living in CityBlock Marton Street is being a great experience. The residence is very well situated, in the centre of Lancaster, the facilities are suitable and I feel like at home. I can use the shared kitchen to meet other students. The room and common spaces are clean and you can get parcels at the lobby or order food and get it delivered. I like very much my room and the place is quiet to study.
