Student Accommodation in Plymouth

 

 

Having the 9th largest University in the UK is an impressive accolade for which previous Mayor, Sir Francis Drake would surely be impressed by, if he hadn’t died of dysentery.  With the Marine Station set to open in August 2014, Plymouth University just got that more enticing; because who wouldn’t want to take a class literally out at sea? But a large student population means a large demand and higher competition when it comes to securing student accommodation. Pads for Students is here to give you a brief look at the types of accommodation in Plymouth, offering examples to suit all budgets and preferences.

Student Life in Plymouth

 

On the south coast of Devon lies Plymouth and its main University campus (others include Exeter, Taunton & Truro and Camborne. Plymouth itself was voted among the top 10 places to visit in the UK by Which? Holiday and it’s no wonder why! The city is bordered by countryside on three sides with the other facing the sea (it’s just a 15 minute walk to from the main campus). But don’t let the the quiet nature fool you, Plymouth has a lot to offer students. The Hoe is the prime spot for looking out over Plymouth Sound (the harbour) and plays hosts to many events that are sure to keep you entertained IF you get bored with the nightlife. But past and present students find it more than acceptable with the likes of Oceana; the frequent buses from campus make Monday nights there a hard thing to pass up on, as well as all your favourite, student friendly chains of Walkabout and Revolution.

 

Plymouth Accommodation for Students on a Budget

 

First years tend to stay in one of the University managed halls or shared student houses that will be usually appointed to you upon acceptance on your course. However, these aren’t mandatory and you are free to find your own whether that be private halls, student house or flat. Pads For Students has plenty to offer and just because you go private, you don’t have to pay through the roof for quality.

A common thing with student houses is that bills aren’t included in the rent; which is why they seem really good value for money at first glance. Though bills don’t add much per person per week, it’s often the hassle that goes with finding the right packages, organising how to pay and remembering to keep that money in mind when budgeting your weekly spends. This four bedroom house is a rarity with ALL bills included as well as having a large, HD plasma in the bedrooms and four spacious double bedrooms.

Another all inclusive property is this  Edwardian built 6 bedroom student house  that’s just 7 minutes away from Plymouth University and 4 minutes from Plymouth train station. With rooms starting from just £75 per person per week, dedicated maintenance team and no deposit required, this is an excellent offer! Beautifully refurbished to a high quality with a great modern, open-plan kitchen / living area, this other six bed student property contains large, rooms furnished with leather framed beds and is close to all bus routes and shops.

 

Luxury Student Accommodation in Plymouth


If you’re looking for luxury then newly developed private halls are hard to beat. Collegiate AC offer “stylish & superior” student accommodation at their St Augustine’s House; which is right in the heart of Plymouth City Centre and just a short walk to the Unviersity. All rooms are en-suite but there is a limited amount, and is no surprise that they fill up pretty quickly!

Central Park Towers is filled with around 200 individual studio apartments with everything you could want in a room from washer/dryers to video entry. And just because all flats are self-contained, don’t think that you won’t have the opportunity to socialise-there’s a common room, meeting and games rooms and garden.
