Wake up without the wait times and queues at the bathroom or the clutter in the kitchen, with a student studio flat room.
Choosing a studio room means you can still enjoy meeting other people in our on-site shared social spaces, without bumping elbows in the kitchen.
With your own open-plan kitchen, bathroom, study area, and plenty of storage, enjoy shared student accommodation, without giving up your personal space.

Ensuite rooms
With an ensuite room, you don’t need to worry about bathroom queues in the morning, even when you live in shared student accommodation.
Wake up, kick off your pjs in your own time, and hop in the shower without worrying about missing your slot. Enjoy shared student accommodation with bathroom privileges in an en-suite room from Unite Students.

Kick back on the sofa with your housemates, enjoy a movie, and make the most out of shared student accommodation – all while keeping costs down.
Non-ensuite rooms give you your own bedroom, a shared bathroom, kitchen and social space.
If you value community and don’t mind waiting for the shower sometimes, a non-ensuite room could be for you. With just enough privacy when you’re feeling that social battery drain.

With Unite Students, you can focus on your education and socialising without worrying about getting around.
Our accessible student rooms give you the room and requirements you need to grow, along with the support you need to make the most of your experience.
Benefit from accessible features like wider doors and hallways and roll-in showers to best enjoy your shared student accommodation experience.

While studio rooms and en-suites both have their own bathrooms, a student studio flat has additional private spaces like a kitchen. Think of shared student accommodation with an ensuite as a room with a bathroom, whereas a student studio room is like having your own little flat.
