What is the difference between bronze, silver, gold and platinum rooms?
How big it is. Specifically the floor space. Each room has the same furniture, features, and decor, but it will differ in size.
There are some exceptions; at John Bell House for example, the rooms are categorised using a mix of reasons such as location and layout as well as size. Some rooms look and feel bigger/smaller because of their shape so weve taken this into consideration when categorising them.
How close is my accommodation to the university?
All of the properties are convenient, central, locations. Whether its close to your campus depends on where youre studying! Check out the relevant property page on this website or get in touch with the on-site property team for details. All of our cities have excellent transport links and secure bike storage if you dont fancy walking.
Do we provide the TV license in the shared flat kitchen?
We do not provide any TV Licenses for the studios or shared flats so youll need to register for your own TV licence.
Can I change rooms if I dont like mine?
It would be possible if someone drops out or someone else wants to swap with you. Please contact your property team and they will do their best to accommodate your needs. Remember that all rooms are effectively the same apart from the floor space.
What should I bring with me to live at a property?
Bedding is not provided unless included in an offer (check with or teams), so bring a sheet to cover the mattress, a duvet and pillows.
What is covered by my insurance policy?
Your items (including laptop, tablet etc) are covered inside your room against fire, flood and theft up to the amounts listed here.

To make a claim online visit the website endsleigh.co.uk/claim-centre or call them on 0800 923 4042. You will have to pay excesses for every claim of up to 25. To get additional cover visit the Endsleigh website to get a quote and sign up from there.
What are Guarantors?
Your guarantor is a person who agrees to pay your rent if you are unable to. They will only contact your guarantor if there is a delay in payment. Your guarantor should be over 18 years of age. They should be in full time employment and a homeowner and/or renting accommodation. They will be asked to submit a form to prove they are eligible. They welcome international guarantors.
