Student questions
How long can I stay?
From two weeks upwards, so a room can match a 7 to 12-week clinical placement or a full academic year.
Are bills and council tax included?
Yes. Gas, electricity, water, Wi-Fi and council tax are all included in the rent, the same as for every resident.
Can I book before I arrive in Barrow?
Yes. We can give you a virtual tour and sort the paperwork online before you travel.
Do I need a guarantor?
Every applicant aged 18 or over goes through our normal application and referencing checks. If you don't have enough independent income, you'll need a guarantor, who is also referenced and affordability-checked before we approve the let. Your guarantor is only responsible for your own rent and obligations, not anyone else's in the house.
How much rent is paid upfront?
The deposit (three weeks' rent) is due as soon as your application is accepted. Your first rent payment, covering a week, four weeks or a month depending on the payment schedule you choose, is due on or before the day you move in.
