Honestly, The Cavendish has been such a great place to live. The rooms are a really good size, super clean, and have everything you need, it’s way nicer than I expected student accommodation to be. The kitchen and social spaces are great for hanging out, and it’s always easy to meet people here. Living here has made my uni experience so much easier and more enjoyable. Would 100% recommend.

As a final-year student, I can honestly say The Cavendish has been the best place I’ve lived during my time at uni. After trying other accommodations, nothing compares to how friendly, comfortable, and well-run it is here. From the moment I moved in, the staff made me feel welcome and supported — they’re always up for a chat and genuinely care about every resident.

If you’re paying in instalments, you’ll need a UK-based guarantor. If that’s tricky, we might be able to help with alternatives like upfront payments or third-party guarantor services — just speak to us early. Find out more in our payment and guarantor guide.
