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.

The accommodation is good for its value, cleaning happens everyday. Only downside is not everyone mixes, therefore, only mates with people in your flat or off your course

These halls were brand new when I lived in them, they were cleaned once a week and our own rooms were cleaned once a fortnight which was definitely helpful!

Although a little on the pricier side this hall is literally next to your lecture halls... so more time in bed! The social areas are brilliant for movie nights and pre drinks and just chill and chat with people you’ve met. It’s a great way to socialise. The only problem is that it’s a 15 minute taxi journey to town which varies in price. All spaces were kept immaculate and the cleaners are hilarious. Even security can be sound depending on how you are with them. Overall one of the best places I lived in.

Cleaners were always there to make everything look immaculate. Few maintenance issues that sometimes took a while to resolve.

Fountains is the most expensive accommodation but it’s worth it. It was brand new when I started so it had its hiccups but it was so clean and modern and has a huge social space on the ground floor. The bedrooms had an en-suite which was amazing and there was plenty of kitchen space for everyone.

Loved Fountains Court, however it was costly and could offer more in terms of social spaces.

I paid to upgrade WiFi, as I couldn’t use a television without doing so. This being said the WiFi was really good with only the occasional problem. Staff work 5 days a week cleaning the halls. When we have holidays bins appear not to get changed and this caused problems for my flat. Towards the end of the year the accommodation (despite being quiet new) had a water leak, there was also problems underground meaning the university very quickly, with little information tried to move everyone out (with about 4 hours notice) they then changed there mind after people moved out which was a nightmare. We had a lot of power cuts that the university will be fixing now.

Brand new and modern. Really small rooms but well laid out. Most flats are 8/9 people which gets too much.

Once complete fountains court was a great place to live in first year. The rooms were cleaned every week and there was lots of space in communal areas to socialise.
