Students encouraged to stay at Uni accommodation for the Summer – even if they don’t study in the city!

Student Roost, one of the largest purpose-built student accommodation providers (PBSA) in the UK, surveyed hundreds of students with 66% saying they didn’t know they could stay in student accommodation outside of the summer term.  

It also revealed that 84% didn’t realise they could stay in ANY city, not just the one they’re studying in.   

Student Roost operate the St David’s student accommodation on the junction with The Strand, New Cut Road and Morfa Road in Swansea City Centre – perfect for exploring Swansea and the Gower over the Summer.  

The accommodation provider said that if you’re a current Student Roost resident or have a booking for the upcoming 2023/24 academic year, your tenancy can be extended or changed to start early to ensure you have plenty of time to eat, sleep, explore and repeat across the UK this summer.  

The survey, sent to a sample size of 400 students studying at university in the UK, also revealed the main reasons students would visit popular UK cities during a break in term. Visiting friends (69%) and sightseeing and visiting attractions (68%) took the top two spots, while work (57%) and going to festivals and events (54%) closely followed.   

Caroline Cockell, Director, Marketing at Student Roost, said: “Our Stay for Summer offer is the perfect opportunity for university students to really make the most of their summer break.

“Not only does it enable them to visit historic cities such as Bath and Aberdeen or seaside towns like Poole and Brighton, but it also gives them a glimpse into the student experience and community within our properties, and the services we provide at Student Roost.”
