Benefits of choosing Student Stay

Arranging accommodation through Student Stay makes your student life easier:

  • All rooms are fully furnished and have underfloor heating. The rent covers your utilities (water, electricity, heating) and internet. All you then need to sort out is your bedding, linen, pots & pans, crockery & utensils – and the bits & bobs that will make your room your home.
  • The housing is well-designed and maintained (StudentStay has its own on-site mechanic) and has secure access, making the accommodation an especially safe place to stay.
  • Each housing block has a laundry room and bike shed in the basement as well as a shared living room you can book if you want to hang out with a larger group of friends. There’s even a vacuum cleaner you can use stored in the hallway on each floor.
  • Living in StudentStay means you’re surrounded by other students and helps to make settling into your new life as  student easier. It’s also got facilities directly on hand such as a bakery, hairdressers, temping agency and a gym, and supermarkets are just a five-minute walk away.
