You’re about to become a Fresher and you’ll more than likely be leaving home for the first time to fend for yourself. Never fear, Derwent are here! We will take the stress away from finding your new home so you have more time to focus on the more important things. You’ll have the time to make new friends, explore your new city and get well and truly stuck into university life.
We have an active social events calendars at all of our student properties. We offer great opportunities to meet new people throughout the year and make those Fresher (and not so fresher) memories. Some of our newer buildings also offer on-site gyms, cinema rooms, study rooms and even a communal kitchen theatre; designed for group cooking tutorials and presentations. All accommodation has dedicated on-site teams to help you with any general concerns or enquiries. We also offer CCTV and security and of course those all-important laundry facilities!
En-Suite vs Studio?
If you’re keen to make friends and socialise in your first year, an en-suite may be ideal for you. You’ll have the comfort of your own room with a desk area and private shower room but share a kitchen lounge area. This includes sharing with a number of other students within your cluster flat. If you’d prefer to have your own space with private shower room and kitchen facilities, then a studio is definitely for you. All students at Derwent Students accommodations have access to all the communal spaces. No matter which room type you choose to stay in, there will always be a way of meeting and getting together with others staying with us.
What will you need?
We try to include the essentials in your accommodation. All you really need to bring is yourself, your parents to wave you goodbye and your largest suitcase. All rooms include a bed, mattress, storage, desk and chair and many of our studios also include a mop and bucket too! We partner with UniKitOut, so you can buy bedroom and/or kitchen packs which will be delivered to your room, ready for when you’re arriving. These packs include items such as cooking utensils, towels, and bed sheets. Use code DERWENT17 at the checkout for a 10% discount.

Been living here for a year and love it. The house is new and clean with fast internet and a lot of flatmates that share the same kitchen so you will never be lonely. It’s close to the university and many local supermarkets as well as the subway, train station, airport and a 24 hour gym. The rooms are large enough and very comfortable and the staff are super nice and friendly. The kitchens are cleaned by the cleaning ladies once a week and they work so hard!Top Napat Stapornchaiyasit, ,
