Types of student accommodation in the UK

When it comes to student accommodation, there are plenty of options out there. University halls of residence are often based on campus and are a popular choice for first-years. Then there’s private student accommodation like ours, which offers a more independent living experience with added perks like better facilities and more flexible contracts.

You might also consider shared student houses (aka uni houses), private rentals, or even homestays. But if you’re after a comfy, secure and social space, purpose-built student flats or studios might be the way to go. With Sanctuary Students, you can choose a student flat with en-suite options, a shared flat with your mates or your own self-contained studio – ideal if you want your own space or are moving in with a partner.

Only staying for one semester? No problem. We offer short-term student accommodation too.

Student accommodation FAQs

What is all-inclusive student accommodation?

All-inclusive student accommodation typically means your utility bills (like your heating, electricity, and water) are included within your rent. But at Sanctuary Students, we go a step further... We also include free contents insurance for your belongings and super speedy 250 Mb/s Wi-Fi in all of our properties, all at no extra cost to you.


This makes budgeting much easier, as there are fewer bills to manage and no unexpected expenses to deal with during your time at uni. No hidden fees to catch you out later. That’s why all-inclusive student accommodation is often the most affordable and cost-effective option – and why so many students choose to live with us. It takes the stress out of managing separate payments, so you can focus on studying, socialising and making the most of your university experience!

What’s included in the rent for your private student accommodation?

Rooms are fully furnished and equipped with a comfortable bed, ample storage, a dedicated study space with a desk and chair, plus access to our fast and free broadband. Our properties come with on-site laundry facilities, communal spaces, 24-hour maintenance, and security features such as CCTV. It’s a simple way to manage your student rent, with fewer expenses to worry about and no hidden fees to surprise you later.

Why choose private student accommodation over halls of residence?

University halls of residence are a great option, especially for new first-year students. But private student accommodation gives you more independence and usually comes with better facilities such as en-suite bathrooms, private or shared kitchens, and fully equipped communal areas. With all-inclusive bills and additional support services, it can provide a more streamlined and hassle-free living experience.


At Sanctuary Students, we go the extra mile to make your student life easier. Alongside all-inclusive rent, you’ll enjoy secure entry systems, 24-hour support and maintenance, regular social events, and more flexible payment options to help you budget.


While both options are great for students looking to meet others and settle into university life, private student accommodation is also typically better suited for mature students, couples, and those who are after a bit more privacy or independence.
