When selecting your student accommodation, your options will vary depending on what year you’re in. With so many rental properties and listings available, it can be overwhelming to make the right choice. That’s where we come in—we want to make your decision easier.
For first-year students, the typical options are university halls or purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), like Scape. While university halls might be a good fit for many, they often have basic facilities and securing an en-suite room can be difficult, meaning you may have to share a bathroom with up to six people. At Scape, every room—from en-suites to studios and shared apartments—comes with a private bathroom as standard. Our shared spaces are modern and newly refurbished, and you’ll have access to amenities like an on-site gym and a cinema room. Compared to other PBSAs, Scape offers more central and convenient locations, higher-quality shared spaces, and fully trained staff on-site 24/7. Plus, all your bills and utilities are covered in one monthly rental payment.
In your second or third year, student halls may no longer be an option, and you might consider moving into a private flat or sharing a house with friends. However, private rentals don’t always guarantee an en-suite room, and they often exclude bills and lack support services. Alternatively, you can stay at Scape in one of our larger apartments with friends and continue to enjoy all the benefits we provide—such as inclusive bills and regular cleaning of shared areas like the kitchen.
For postgraduate students in London, we understand the challenge of finding affordable accommodation close to your university. Many postgraduates prefer more privacy, which we offer in our studio apartments. All our London locations provide comfortable and private living setups to suit your needs.
