Private studio, en-suite room or apartment?

Before comparing residences, decide how much space you want to share.

Self-contained studios

A self-contained studio combines sleeping, studying and cooking space in one private unit, with its own bathroom. This arrangement can suit students who prefer independent living, cook regularly or want to organise their day around their own schedule.

En-suite rooms

An en-suite room provides a private bedroom and bathroom, with kitchen facilities usually shared with other residents. It can be a good fit if you want personal space while enjoying opportunities to cook and spend time with flatmates.

One - or two-bedroom apartments

An apartment can offer bedrooms separated from other living areas. Kitchen arrangements, occupancy rules and layouts depend on the specific category. Always review the floor plan and description of your selected room. Different categories within the same residence can offer noticeably different living experiences.
