Frequently Asked Questions

Are sites secure?

Each site is covered by CCTV and has onsite security staff, with staff present 24 hours a day. There is also a digital entry system at each building. You should not allow people to ‘tailgate’ – that is, hold the door open for people behind you as you enter.

Can I book if I'm under 18?

Management does not accept parental responsibility for occupiers under the age of 18.

They require that all tenants living at one of their properties in England and Wales to be over the age of 17 during the academic year booked to live at management, and tenants living in their Scottish properties to be age 16 or over.

Exceptions to this rule are available in selected cases through prior arrangement. If in doubt, please contact your preferred management site and the team will be able to advise you.

Can I bring a tv?

If you want to bring a TV, check that your room has a TV point and don’t bring one larger than 21”. You can’t mount your TV on the wall, so make sure it’s free-standing. While all TVs provided by management in communal areas accessed by all residents are covered by a TV Licence, you will need to buy your own licence if you bring your own TV or if there is one already in your room or shared kitchen & living area. If you’re unsure, please check with your site team.

For details of licensing requirements regarding catch-up TV and online streaming, please refer to your resident handbook, ask your site team or contact TV Licensing.

I stayed at Salford during my third year of university - I was thoroughly impressed and would highly recommend it to anyone. Prices are higher, yes, but it’s worth it for what you get. The staff here are particularly outstanding - always friendly, ready to help and ensuring your safety and well-being. The rooms are good sizes, with modern furnishings and facilities. Such a great location for Salford Uni students too. One of the things that surprised me most about Salford was how quiet it was! Even in the evenings, there was little to no noise.

I've lived here for the past 2 years and I've loved every minute! The rooms/ kitchens are modern and well-furnished. The social hub and gym are a great addition, along with parties held on occasion. Also, the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The accommodation is very close to uni and only a short bus ride into town/ media city. There are also shops, takeaways and a post office just around the corner. I would 100% recommend living here, as you will make many great memories!
