Students choose Mansion Student for comfortable accommodation, supportive on-site teams and a welcoming community. Feedback from residents highlights the things that matter most during university life – secure buildings, modern rooms and spaces where students can study, relax and meet new people.

Sunny Peterson Hall, is hands down the best student accommodation I have resided in. Shayne and Wendy are lovely, nothing is ever too much trouble. Always make me and my flatmates so welcome. The feeling of being safe in a clean welcoming environment really is refreshing. The location is perfect for uni, walks, bars, and restaurants. Everything is on the doorstep. Knowing I can rely on coming home to a happy friendly place is definitely up there with how much I appreciate living here. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Can't recommend this place and it's staff enough *****

I am currently staying at Mansion Student, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The rooms were not only spacious and well-furnished but also meticulously clean, creating a comfortable living environment. The staff members were incredibly friendly and always willing to assist with any inquiries or issues. Additionally, the location was perfect, with easy access to campus and nearby amenities. Overall, I highly recommend this accommodation to any student looking for a convenient, safe, and enjoyable place to live during their studies.

This is my third year staying in Ernest Place and I have really enjoyed my stay here. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The social places are also amazing and very clean. I will definitely recommend Ernest Place to anyone looking for an accommodation!

The property is located very close to the University of Leeds and has a lot of food options available at a walk of mere 5 minutes. The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially Tracy. She is a sweetheart! You can go to her for any issue and it will be resolved immediately. A nice and safe place to live.

I rebooked to stay here, and I must say the change in management has been a game-changer. The new manager has truly gone above and beyond to make the experience exceptionally smooth. One of the standout improvements is the fantastic new refurbishment. The flats now have a modern look that's aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. The location is incredibly ideal and convenient. I look forward to my continued stay.

Fantastic student accommodation! As a student at Coventry University, Singer Hall has been an excellent choice for my accommodation. Located just a 10-minute walk from campus, it offers convenience and a vibrant student community atmosphere. The rooms are well-maintained, comfortable, and spacious enough for study and relaxation. Each flat is shared between a few students, with a fully equipped kitchen and living space that make socializing easy. The Wi-Fi connection is strong, which is a must for both coursework and leisure. What I particularly appreciate is the affordable rent, which includes all utilities—so no surprise bills!

Resident, Mansion Place, Nottingham

Ernest Place offers exceptional accommodation with top-notch rooms and an amazing team of staff members. Everyone here is genuinely kind, warm, and accommodating, creating a wholesome experience. The service is outstanding, prompt, efficient, and always on point. My time at Ernest Place has been one of the best experiences of my university journey, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice.

Resident, Ernest Place, Durham

I'm a rebooker at Woodhouse Flats, and let me tell you, it's the real deal. The location is spot-on, with everything you need just steps away. Also means you get a little bit longer in bed because you have the University of Leeds on your doorstep!! But the star of the show is Tracey – she's is so helpful and kind, and always feel safe speaking to her as I live away from home. The rooms are cozy and have all the essentials. As a repeat guest, I can't get enough of this place. If you're looking for a sweet spot to stay, Woodhouse Flats and Tracey are the way to go. Crying that this is my last year at university otherwise, I’d live here again next year!
