Why Stay in University Accommodation for a Second Year?

1. Convenience and Comfort

Returning to halls means you can skip the hassle of house hunting and the awkward conversations that come with it. No need to worry about joint tenancy agreements or chasing friends for bills – everything is taken care of individually. Plus, with bills included in the rent and 24-hour residential support, security, and maintenance, you can enjoy peace of mind and hassle-free living.

"Reception staff are always welcoming, and the maintenance team are accessible and thorough. It's just nice to know there's people you can rely on if you need help." – Victoria

2. Flexibility and Shorter Contracts

Unlike private accommodation, university halls often offer shorter contracts, allowing you to pay for only as long as you need the flat. Say goodbye to being tied into a 52-week contract, where you might end up paying for accommodation you're not even using. With university accommodation, you have the flexibility to pay for the duration of your stay.

3. Social Opportunities

Whether you want to make new friends or live with old ones, halls offer a diverse and vibrant social environment. Fill a flat with your current friends or join a new flat to expand your social circle. Worried about being the 'old student' among freshers? Don't fret – you can request to live with people at a similar level, ensuring you feel right at home.

4. Safety and Security

University accommodation provides a safe and secure environment, with on-site security teams and friendly reception staff ready to assist you. Maintenance teams are accessible and thorough, ensuring any issues are promptly addressed. Feel safe and supported throughout your stay, knowing there's always someone to turn to if needed.

5. Cost Effective Option

It's essential to consider the overall value of university accommodation beyond just cost. While private accommodation options may seem cheaper at first glance, they often come with hidden costs such as utility bills, internet fees, and furnishings. In contrast, university halls typically include all bills in the rent (and contents insurance!), providing a transparent and hassle free payment structure.

Final Thoughts

Returning to university accommodation for a second year offers a range of benefits, from convenience and comfort to social opportunities and safety. With no additional deposit to pay and the flexibility of shorter contracts, it's a cost effective and hassle free option for your second year.
