Student halls – pros and cons

Living in student halls can be an incredible experience. From living alongside fellow students, to not having to worry about arguing over bills with your flatmates, there are plenty of benefits to rebooking halls for your second (or third) year.

And while it can be more expensive than private housing, that’s usually because you’re getting more for your money. From a private bathroom to 24/7 support and security as and when you need it, it’s perfect for taking those first steps away from home.

Benefits of student halls

All bills included.

There’s no worrying about paying utility bills when you choose Unite Students halls. All bills are included in the price of your rent. That covers:

Gas
Electricity
Water
Broadband
Insurance

With all your bills covered, there’s no worrying about turning the heating on in winter, and no arguments with your flatmates over who’s been using more water.

Close to campus

Consider whether living close to campus is a priority for you. Our student accommodation is located close to campus, so it’s easy to get to and from university.

Live with friends or move in independently

If you know who you’d like to live with next year, you can make a group booking at our accommodation. But if you haven’t found a group to live with, we can put you into a flat with other students in the same boat – this is a great way to make friends. Or if you’d prefer to live independently, we have a range of studio flats too. It’s up to you.

Ensuite bathrooms

Most of our flats have private bathrooms, so there’s no queueing for a shower in the morning, and no worries that somebody might use the last of your shampoo.

Exclusive to students

When you live at Unite Students, you know that all your neighbours are students too. This gives it a great community feel, and you’ll be able to meet people and make friends.

Better security

All Unite Students properties have a concierge available 24/7. There’s also CCTV in operation in entrances, as well as key fob or card access to make sure only residents and guests can enter the building. This helps to keep all our residents and their belongings safe and secure.

Better quality

We’re banging our own drum here, but our student accommodation is often a cut above the student housing options available. We make sure our properties are well maintained and kitted out with everything you need to make the most of uni life.

On-site facilities

From on-site gyms to study rooms, pool tables, laundry rooms and communal spaces, you get more when you choose to stay in student accommodation.
