Am I allowed to smoke at the property?

All our student accommodation is smoke-free, so please use designated smoking areas outside the buildings or in the courtyards.

Can I/my friends park at the building?

Most of our buildings don’t have allocated visitor parking, but there are nearby locations for you to park. Contact the Residence Team at your chosen location for more information.

Unlike many other providers, we don’t require a deposit to secure your booking. Instead, we ask for an advance rent payment, which we’ll take off your first rent instalment. It’s like a little gift to yourself when September rolls around!

How do I wash my clothes?

There are on-site laundries with washers and dryers at all our locations. You can pay for these via an app on a pay as you go basis.

How do I make a booking?

Simply click the book button on the room type you want, you can then follow the instructions on the screen to secure your room. If you have any issues or questions, just reach out to the Residence Team at your chosen location who will be more than happy to assist.

Can I live with friends?

Definitely! If you’re interested in living in a cluster flat with your friends, just let us know who you want to live with, and we’ll do our best to make it happen. Be aware, we are more likely to be able to facilitate this early in the year, with many sites selling out the closer we get to September.

How do I know who I’m living with?

We don’t give out names for privacy reasons, but you can get a better idea of who you’ll be living with via our residents groups that are shared prior to check-in or by asking your site team to provide you with information such as gender, year and uni.

Can I cancel after booking?

We work on a 5 day “cooling off” period. This means that should you need to, you can cancel your booking within 5 days of signing your tenancy agreement, as long as you have not yet moved in. If you need to cancel after the “cooling off” period, we’ll allow it in certain circumstances, like if your UK visa is refused or you don’t make the grades for your chosen university. Just make sure to send us your UCAS notification or visa refusal documentation within 72 hours of receiving it. You can also transfer your obligations to someone else if you find a replacement tenant who’s eligible to live in the property. We’ll need to run some checks to confirm their eligibility, but once everything’s in order, they’ll take over the tenancy agreement.

What if I have additional needs?

We have permanent accessible and temporary adaptable access rooms available to suit your needs. For more information about these rooms, please contact the Residence Team directly.

What if my student loan is late?

If your student loan payment is late, please get in touch with the Residence Team at your location for advice.

Can I have friends to stay?

You’re welcome to have guests stay in your room, however, residents may have a maximum of one overnight guest for no more than two consecutive nights provided that does not cause a nuisance or annoyance to other residents in the Building.

Will my flat get cleaned?

Your student room and shared areas will be spotlessly clean when you arrive, but after that, it’s up to you! Don’t hesitate to ask our Residence Teams for advice or help if needed.

How do I connect to the internet?

Connecting to the internet is easy – just connect your devices to the wireless network on arrival. You can also use an Ethernet cable, which you can plug into the network wall socket in your room.

What can’t I do in my accommodation?

For health and safety reasons, we don’t allow candles, incense burners, deep fat fryers, or any electrical appliances that don’t comply with British standards and statutory regulations. We are also unable to accommodate E-scooters or any other alternatives. Please don’t bring any of these on-site.

Who will come into my room?

We carry out room inspections three times a year and occasionally health and safety checks, but we’ll always give you at least 24 hours’ notice before entering your room.

How much fridge space is there in the studio rooms?

All studios come with a small fridge with a freezer compartment.

Can I bring my rice cooker/electric pressure cooker?

Sorry, but we don’t allow rice cookers or electric pressure cookers – their high voltage can be dangerous.

What if I need to leave before my tenancy ends?

We may have Tenancy Takeover options available, but it’s best to contact our Residence Teams for the most up-to-date information.

Will my bedroom be inspected when I move out?

Yes, your room will be inspected at least three times during your tenancy for maintenance checks. Any maintenance issues, damage, or missing items will be logged and addressed accordingly. After each visit, you will be informed of any issues found, and if there will be any charges for correcting them.

Do I need to move out for the holidays?

No, you don’t need to vacate your room during the holiday breaks. Your room is yours for the entire duration of your tenancy, and you only need to move out at the end of the agreement.

What if I want to stay over summer?

You can book your room for the entire year (51 weeks) or opt for a shorter tenancy where available and extend it for the summer period. Get in touch with the Residence Team at your chosen location for more information.

What size is a small double bed?

A small double bed, also known as a 3/4 size bed, measures approximately 120cm wide x 190cm long.

Can I still receive deliveries?

Depending on your location, your post may be delivered directly through your door by Royal Mail or collected from on-site post boxes. You can receive larger parcels at reception, but unfortunately we can’t accept liability for any loss or damage.

I think the apartment is really great—very new, with especially large common areas that are also very clean. The shared kitchen is fully equipped, and the staff are all very friendly. Breakfast is provided every morning from Monday to Friday, and coffee is available 24/7 with unlimited refills.

CHEN**

The rent is great Facilities: Breakfast is included and served every morning at 7:00. Hygiene: Cleaning is done at scheduled times every week. Location: Very close to the school Internet speed: The internet occasionally lags, but it is generally fine.

ZHOU**

It's very convenient, whether going to school or shopping. I really don't want to leave. For Chinese supermarkets, you can go to Little Dinosaur; there’s also a huge Sainsbury’s nearby, and if you walk a bit further, there’s a Waitrose. The room layout is especially good. After visiting some classmates’ places, I feel that their bathrooms aren’t as spacious as the one in this apartment.

WANG**

Facilities: Complete<br/>Internet Speed: Not slow<br/>Soundproofing: Acceptable<br/>Sanitation: Housekeeping every two weeks<br/>Location: Just outside is the bus stop, next to Sainsbury.

HAN**

Very good. Pretty good. The property management is great, and the location is also great. Please stop making me write. Pretty good.

JIAO**

The service is excellent, the staff are friendly, the common areas are clean, the rooms have plenty of natural light, it is very close to the supermarket, making it convenient to buy daily necessities, the staff have a good attitude, the hot water supply is sufficient, and the soundproofing is also good.

WANG**

Great, there’s a supermarket nearby, and it’s only a 15-minute walk to the school.

CAI**

The room is newly renovated. The studio has a private bathroom and kitchen, sufficient storage space, complete furniture and appliances, and all bills are included. The location is convenient for transportation, and the 24-hour front desk and security are reliable. The downside is that the soundproofing is average, corridor noise occasionally comes in, and the hot water keeps having issues.

XUE**

The dormitory has comprehensive safety measures, is quiet at night, and has plenty of light. The roommates are all quite nice. The room isn’t very large, but it’s comfortable. The dorm manager is very nice. The location is excellent, just a 15-minute walk from the school. There is a supermarket and a snack street right outside, and the dormitory provides breakfast, which is very convenient.

DING**

It’s still pretty good—not as bad as what people initially said online. Room cleaning is provided once every two weeks, and breakfast is free. The staff and team have also changed, and they respond actively to issues and solve problems. There is also a new hot water system now.
