Find Student Accommodation with Confidence

Plan a student rental search around your university, budget and day-to-day needs.

Start with your university area

Use the student accommodation hub to explore options around your university or college. Think about the transport route, how late you may travel and the services you need nearby.

Compare the total monthly cost

Ask whether utilities, internet, security, furniture or transport costs are separate from the rent. A lower headline rent may not always mean a lower monthly cost.

Ask practical questions before viewing

Confirm the availability date, who you will live with, whether visitors are allowed and what is expected at the start of the tenancy. Keep important answers in writing.

Never rush a decision because a place is described as urgent. Take the time you need to view, compare and understand the full arrangement.
