Our Accommodation for International Students
There are many student accommodation providers in the UK, but not all of them are equal. At Mansion Student, we pride ourselves on going the extra mile and providing a peerless service from hospitality and pastoral care to the actual living space you will be staying in.
We are specialists in student accommodation. Since the inception of our parent company, The Mansion Group, in February 2007, we have acquired and refurbished student accommodation throughout the UK. Our accommodation provides a safe and secure living environment whilst also establishing a dynamic international community experience for all who live with us.
We offer a varied range of high quality accommodation in all our locations consisting of shared flats with standard and en suite rooms and studios. Several of our sites have common room facilities with SKY TV where students can relax and meet new friends.
Our property division is Mansion Property Management, which is responsible for the management of all buildings and is involved in all aspects of our student’s living experience. Our ANUK accreditation gives students the peace of mind that they are living in a safe and reputable residence.
It is our commitment to provide our students with a first-class accommodation service.
Mansion Student is dedicated to looking after our students. We have Hospitality Teams assigned to each development and believe that a student’s welfare is of the utmost importance.
Throughout their stay students can contact the Hospitality Team with any queries that they may have.
The Hospitality Team are knowledgeable of the local area and can provide students with all the information they need on amenities and the direction to their place of study. The Hospitality Team are there to help students settle into their new home.

Student Testimonials
Flora Rayappan from India currently living at Garth Heads, Newcastle. Postgraduate studying Medical Genetics.
"I have really enjoyed my stay with Mansion Student. Good maintenance, place to leave bikes, very close to a river, what else can a student ask for more than this?
Jill & Craig, [the Hospitality Team] some of the best people I have ever met. Very helpful, caring and friendly. I am very pleased with my accommodation and so are my parents. A good safe place for students. I do my course in the International Centre for LIFE and its just a 10-15 minute walk for Garth Heads. It is worth the money!”
Saifeddin Saleh from Jordan currently living at Avon Way, Colchester. 1st year in Financial Economics.
"I have enjoyed living here so much, everybody is nice and friendly and the common room is great.
The staff are amazing, at first I didn’t have a place to stay and they helped me find a room as quickly as possible. The Hospitality Office is in the centre of the building and I know they will always be there whenever I need them. The accommodation is just 15 minutes away from the University and there are shops and a supermarket just 5 minutes away. The location is perfect for University students. The accommodation is such good quality. I have enjoyed living in the 5 bedroom flat with a communal living room and TV. It feels just like home.”
Mark Morrison from Bermuda currently living in Hotwells House, Bristol. 1st year in Outdoor Education.
“I like having a Hospitality Office on site where we can go for help and support. Many places don’t offer support at all and you have to go to the University, which can be very inconvenient. Hotwells House is near to all the nightlife and good shops.”
