Finding Student Accommodation

Not too far west of London is Reading, where over 27,000 students attend the University of Reading, spread across 26 accommodations of all kinds.

Reading is known for its festival scene with the Reading Festival, which attracts over 100,00 attendees every year. Reading also has the longest river frontage of the River Thames! If you’re up for some shopping, The Oracle has everything you need: there are over 100 stores. If you’re a nature person, head to Beale Park where you can find small exotic animals, farm animals, birds and landscape gardens and woodlands. And if you’re a fan of Pride and Prejudice (the film), you’d be able to visit Basildon Park, a Grade I building owned by the National Trust, where P&P was shot! Read more about Reading

The average cost of living in Reading is 9.7% less than London, but the average cost of accommodation in Reading is 30% more than the national average (we've tracked costs for private and uni halls over the last 12 months).

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.
