The Boulevard FAQs

Some Studio room types allow double occupancy, can my friend stay with me?

Yes, you need to reconfirm with the apartment whether the room type you choose allows double occupancy, and the co-resident needs to be a student.

What is the general difference between Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum room types?

The main difference is the size of the building area, but each room has the same furniture, decoration style, etc. Note: There may also be other minor differences between apartment buildings in different cities.

Can I switch if I don't like my room?

If other students cancel the room, or agree to exchange with you, you can contact the property management team of the apartment, and the staff will try their best to meet your needs. However, except for the different room types and different building areas, the configuration and facilities of each room are the same.

Student Accommodation in York

What is the best time for students to start searching for student accommodation in York?

The best time for students to start searching for student accommodation in York depends on several factors, including the start of the academic year, availability of accommodation, and personal preferences.

 

Typically, the academic year in the UK starts in September, so it's advisable for students to start searching for accommodation a few months before that. This gives them enough time to compare different options, make decisions, and secure their accommodation before the start of the term.

 

Additionally, York being a popular student destination, accommodation can get snapped up quickly. Therefore, starting the search earlier can give students an advantage in securing their preferred accommodation.

 

It's also important for students to consider their personal preferences and budget when searching for accommodation. They may want to live close to their school or university, or they may prefer a particular area of York for its amenities or social life. Taking these factors into account when starting the search can help students find the perfect accommodation for their needs.

 

Overall, it's advisable for students to start searching for accommodation in York at least a few months before the start of the academic year, to give themselves enough time to make informed decisions and secure suitable accommodation.

Are short-term stays an available option in York student housing?

Yes, short-term stays are an option in York student housing. York, a popular student destination, offers a range of accommodation options to cater to different needs, including short-term stays.

 

Some student accommodation providers in York offer short-term rental options, which are typically suitable for students who need accommodation for a shorter duration, such as a few weeks or months. These options can benefit students attending a summer program, doing an internship, or visiting York temporarily.

 

However, it's important to note that short-term stays may have some limitations and conditions attached to them. For example, they may be subject to availability, and the cost per night or week may be higher than longer-term rentals. Additionally, some providers may require a minimum stay period or have other specific requirements.

 

Suppose you're interested in a short-term stay in York student housing. In that case, it's advisable to start your search early and contact accommodation providers directly to inquire about their availability and terms. You can also explore uhomes, which specialises in short-term rentals, to find a suitable option.
