The benefits of studio living for Masters students
POV: You’ve just finished your degree and thinking about the next steps in your education. Shall you go travelling? Get work experience? Or even maybe continue your education and do a Masters degree?
If a Masters degree sounds like your next step, have you thought about living arrangements? Have you outgrown the idea of flat sharing in halls?
Why not consider the convenience and independence of a Purpose Build Student Accommodation (PBSA) studio for your Masters year? Read on for the benefits of studio living for Masters students.
Studio privacy and peace of mind.
Thrive in your own private living space, without any of the day to day distractions of shared housing.
Independence during your Masters.
Enjoy a new level of independence and self sufficiency during your Masters year.
Convenience in a studio.
A Masters year will be busy and full of work and study, so cleaning and household chores won’t be high on your priority list. Studios are designed to maximize efficiency, making it easier to manage household tasks like cleaning and organizing, which is beneficial for students with busy schedules.
Perfect locations.
PBSA studios are often located in excellent areas, either in city centres and/or close to campus, providing easy access to amenities and university. Reducing commuting and travelling costs, love your lie ins? Win win.
Cost-effective student studios.
PBSA usually offer all bills included student living. One fee covers your rent and bills, and even content insurance in most cases!
Spend more time doing the things that matter.
Be organised.
Prioritise belongings and focus on essentials, reducing clutter and creating a more organised living environment.
Know you are safe 24/7.
Buildings with studios in PSBA are usually controlled with security features. Features including 24/7 on site teams, CCTV coverage and secure key fobs which provides peace of mind to students.
Make your studio your own.
Renting your own studio allows students to decorate and arrange the space according to their personal state, without the influence and pressure of others.
Your space to focus.
Masters courses often require intense focus and long hours of work. A quiet and private studio can enhance concentration and productivity. If you are a night owl, or like early mornings, studios are perfect for you as you won’t have others to worry about. Do your Masters your way.
Community spaces.
Purpose built student accommodation (PBSA) offer shared areas such as common rooms, study rooms, cinemas, fitness suites, outdoor spaces and more. Residents can interact and socialise and engage with fellow masters students.
