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.
GyyyygyygggyyygyyyyggyyyygtytttttttgttttgtttyyyyyE
tiny room, radiator that stayed on all year even in summer cannot be turned off, only cleaned once a week including shared bathrooms (1 for 4 people)
£135 ppw for a bedroom with a sink and single bed as well as shared showers and toilets, two of each split between 12 compared to my second year accommodation that will be £100ppw for a house between 4
Decent student accommodation with functional amenities. Good location. Limited communal space but overall good value for money.
Horwood is a single bed classic plus room. There is a sink in the room which was highly useful as you could do things like brush your teeth in private. The showers and bathrooms were shared. The showers were fine and you felt closed off and it felt private. However the toilets were in cubicles with huge gaps above and below the door which meant anyone could’ve easily looked, it also felt uncomfortable as you shared them with people you did not know. We paid £134 a week for this which seems a bit extortionate for a single bed room where we share all the facilities. The cleaners did well on the showers but didn’t bother too much with the kitchens. Safety was terrible because we got broken into a few times and actually got lots stolen due to the uni refusing to put a lock on our kitchen until a week before we left. Wasn’t happy with campus safety.
Location of the accommodation is really good, close by to centre of campus and students union
Great accomodation with comfortable facilities
The toilet door broke meaning that 15 people had to use the same toilet for a month
Way too expensive. Unaffordable for many even as some of the cheapest accommodation offered by Keele
It was a lovely location and nice room. Walls are thin so you can hear noises easily
Really nice place ......love it at Keele
Too many people with such a small kitchen. complaints about behaviour are not taken seriously and no social spaces whatsoever so forced to eat in our rooms
For one of the cheaper accommodations it's reasonably sized ,the kitchen is small for 9 people and there's not enough space for all of us to put our stuff there but is manageable
It's alright, but the condition and cleaning of my block need improvement. I feel like it should be refurbished.
Good accommodation, however, sometimes cleaning was not the most thorough
The halls are a great affordable options for students and being on campus allows easy access to the main campus for lectures. The common areas are cleaned every week and rubbish bins emptied every morning which is great as they can fill up quite quickly with 6 or more people sharing a flat.
Horwood P Block during the 2020/21 Covid year. Provided us with extra social spaces due to being unable to socialise outside. Rooms large with nice big windows. Was put with majorly people in my year, as a third year this was good.
It as fine for a first year adjusting to university life. I was in N block which was nicely located and easy to access. Didn't see much of flat mates. No elevators there though so be wary of ho heavy your bags are if you don't live on the ground floor. Staff seemed nice when I saw them, but that wasn't very often. There isn't cleaning on the weekends so you might have to empty the bins and take the trash out if you throw a party. Easily done though. One problem is that there isn't cleaning on the weekends. Be mindful of this if you come home drunk or are ill as I cam down with a nasty bug during the winter and ended up vomiting in the corridor trying to get to the bathroom. While I could clean up most of the mess and reported it to staff they never did a deep clean and the corridor smelt for the rest of the year. Don't know if that has changed. I would not advise keeping toiletries in the bathroom and keeping an eye on your dishes in the kitchen which also has a tendency to smell
Lack of dining room or even a table to socialise at is unacceptable.
Really close to everything from lectures to shops/SU. Communal vibe in the halls and having cleaners for our rooms is a life saver
The students I live with are lovely but that is no thanks to Keele, At Horwood I've had expensive toiletries stolen by cleaning staff (when they bother to show up) and when another member of staff came to 'investigate' the items magically showed up in a place that I had checked countless times over the space of 3 hours. Very suspicious, would recommend searching for nearby Accomodation rather than university run halls as I now cannot trust any of the staff and have personal padlocks on everything.
Location and rooms are great, however no table in the kitchen so no real area for entire floor to go, and we could do with a hoover or something to help maintain it outside of cleaners
Needs modernising and a deep clean. Disgusting, smelly and not worth the money.
Halls are very basic. No mirror in any bedroom, good kitchen, only 1 shower between 8 of us. No social space atall, no where to chill and watch tv with friends
Disgusting and old. Have hated my time in the hall. NEEDS KNOCKING DOWN!
Very close to the SU and library
Kitchen was always a mess same with bathroom people are weird walls are just a joke will never live on campus again !
Very nice. Nice spaceous rooms, great for socializing. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
I have only just moved in here but it is surprisingly good for the money you pay. There's 4 flats to a block with 6 people in each (24 people total) so plenty of different people for you to make friends with. The bedrooms are a good size with lots of storage space and nice, comfy beds, the breeze block walls do make it feel at little prison like but nothing you can't soften up with decorations. The kitchens are big, but with one cooker between 6 and minimal kitchen space it gets a little difficult, and the table space isn't ideal as we only had 4 chairs, but it does help you learn how to live with people. The bathrooms are huge with 2 toilets, 2 sinks, a shower, and a bath, and I didn't mind sharing as it was another way to make friends (weird I know!). Any problems that we did have (so far a broken chair, broken light covering, broken hob ring, and dirty kettle) were resolved soon after we reported them which is always reassuring. The cleaners are lovely too!
No where to congregate and all facilities are basic.
Basic and small. Convenient location.
Everything you could want in halls. Simple, neat, suprisingly large bedrooms. Kicthen can be used to hang out in. Fair price. Fantastic being so close to campus.
Legend had it that Horwood was like soviet Russia, but upon arrival I was pleasantly surprised, especially when I found out my block was the only one that didn't look like soviet Russia as it had been renovated. Positives to a new fresh block were exactly that it was new and shiny and mould free, however the downside was that you would get charged for every accidental dent in the wall, or for breaking the stove by jumping on it. (N.B you'll get charged anywhere for that don't do it) Although you don't have the luxury of an en suit like certain other halls, you do get the benefit of not being branded as a posh ****. It is also literally a stones throw away from the SU, fantastic for nights out, not so fantastic if you're trying to revise or sleep and there's a big night at the SU, or every Tuesday when the goth brigade go mental at KRAP which is held in Horwood bar. Speaking of Horwood bar, it's terrible but the KPA is also in Horwood, and that's pretty good. Miss you Horwood.
The location is great and the rooms are cleaned once a fortnight. The common room is old and small and there isn't one for each block, 750 students are expected to lounge in a small building near the bar. In my block there were 7 people to a tiny kitchen with two stools in it so there really wasn't enough room, but there was no problem with the sharing of two showers and one toilet even though we were all girls.
Get what you pay for, cheap and you can tell but leads to great social life as get to know everyone in small blocks.
Great value for money, you get what you pay for, the room sizes are huge considering they are one of the cheapest options on campus. Cleaners tidy bedrooms every 2 weeks, kitchens and bathrooms weekly. Would I return? Yes.
The location really is perfect. Only downside is that the water is sometimes too warm and the toilets get blocked too easily
