They want you to have the best student experience possible. That means going beyond just providing somewhere comfy and practical to live; they want you to live somewhere you feel safe and happy. And they have onsite teams on-hand 24/7 to ensure that’s the case.

Consequently, they’re a Platinum Certified Operator by the Global Student Living Index. So, the question should really be, why should I not stay at the property?

Do I have to be a student to live in this property?

However, if you’re unsure, your university or college should be able to let you know.

Do I need to take out contents insurance?

No, you do not. Contents insurance is automatically included with your rent. The property is working in partnership with Cover4insurance.com and their student insurance, Cover4Students, to provide some cover for the contents inside your room. You don’t need to do anything to activate this cover, but it is important for you to check and ensure that you fully understand the protection provided and whether it is sufficient for your needs.
