Why use Accommodation for Students

Living in Kingston as a student

A part of Greater London since 1965, Kingston upon Thames, more commonly referred to as just Kingston, is a town and a parish with a population of 43,000 people. It is home to Kingston University with its 16,000 students. Its closeness to London makes it a particularly attractive destination for students.

A large student population necessitates and thus is always a good indication of a healthy accommodation provision in the town. There are 16 halls of residence in Kingston, which include properties managed by the university and privately owned student halls. There are over 2,000 rooms available for students of KU, most of which are en-suite. Larger studios are available too, while rooms with shared sanitary facilities make up the remainder of the rooms.

Nation’s top providers operate halls in Kingston alongside the university ones. They provide students with a good range of options, from standard en-suite rooms, to self-contained studio suites, with a range of attractive amenities.

Sharing a house has never been more popular with students in Greater London. Groups of 4 or more friends benefit the most, as properties that are available to them have a lower individual cost, availability in a variety of locations, and flexibility in furnishing type. Larger homes often have a garden—a very sought after feature in the highly urbanised area of Greater London. For those preferring fewer flatmates or hoping to move in with their partner flats and apartments which are in good supply in Kingston are a fantastic option. They often benefit from a more central location, while suffering from a smaller size—it gives them a more cosy feeling, though, which many students appreciate. Both houses and flats/apartments are most commonly managed by landlords or letting agents, many of which have a fantastic reputation for catering to students’ exact wants and needs.
