Types of Rooms

We have a range of different room options to suit all preferences.

Our rooms

Our student accommodation offers a variety of room types tailored to suit your preferences. Ranging from cosy standard rooms to the luxury of premium en suites, we have the room for you.

All our rents are inclusive, meaning utility bills for energy, water, and WiFi are included in the rent. Our family and couple accommodation are an exception to this, as the utility fees are separate and based on usage.

If you live in University-owned accommodation without a washing machine in your flat, your rent includes a £120 laundry credit for full-year contracts. This credit is split into two payments and provides approximately 40 washes and 40 dry cycles.

If you're living in Turner Court or Rosedale Court, which are managed by our partner Abodus, your rent includes 20 wash and dry cycles.

For all other managed partner accommodations (including Bernicia), laundry facilities are available, but usage is not included in the rent and will incur an additional cost.

All our rooms come with:

  • a bed and mattress
  • a desk with a lamp and chair
  • a wardrobe
  • shelving
  • a bedside cabinet or chest of drawers
  • curtains or blinds
  • a waste paper bin

Bedding and soft furnishings are not included in your room. All our accommodation is self-catered, and you will have access to an equipped kitchen. You will need to bring your own crockery, cutlery, utensils and pots and pans. If you need help with sourcing the essentials for your accommodation, you can pre-order items from UniKitOut. UniKitOut provides quality student starter kits packed with cookware, bedding, towels and more. You can place your order, get it delivered, and we will store it safely for you until you arrive

Rooms with standard facilities

Standard rooms share kitchen and bathroom facilities. These rooms can be found in Jesmond Road and Bowsden Court. Standard rooms are the most affordable room type, and cost less than rooms with an en suite. 

Rooms with washbasin

Washbasin rooms have a handbasin (sink) in each bedroom, while other facilities like showers and toilets are shared. They tend to be more expensive than rooms with standard facilities, but less expensive than en suite rooms. Washbasin rooms are available at Jesmond Road, Marris House, and Windsor Terrace.

Rooms with an en suite

Our en suite rooms offer private bathrooms with a shower, washbasin, and toilet. These rooms are usually more expensive than washbasin rooms and can be found at:

Rooms with premium en suite

Premium en suite rooms are larger than standard en suite options, with some also including a bath. These rooms are available at:

Studio

Our studios offer the perfect combination of sleeping, lounging, and cooking spaces, all in one private area. Each studio comes with a bedroom, lounge, kitchen, and bathroom. Studio options are for single occupants and are available at Park View, Bernicia, and Kensington Terrace.

Self-contained family flats

If you plan on bringing your family with you, you might consider living in one of our self-contained family flats. This type of accommodation features two to three private bedrooms, a separate lounge and kitchen area, as well as your own bathroom with a shower, toilet, and washbasin. They are available at Bowsden Court and are suitable for families and couples.
