Frequently asked questions
Southampton is generally a safe city, especially for students, and the Students' Union offers a night bus that you can call to help you home if you're feeling unsafe. However, it's always wise to be aware of the potential for crime in any city. The good thing is that with Student Roost, you'll have teams on site 24/7, secure fob access, window limiters and CCTV in communal spaces. In the unlikely event of an incident, we also offer free insurance with Endsleigh for all our residents.
Southampton offers a great lifestyle, thanks to affordable student living and opportunities for socialising. There is plenty on offer for students to enjoy across the foodie scene, nightlife and more.
Aside from the city centre, most students live in Portswood or close to the Highfield Campus. Student Roost's Vincent Place is situated right in the city centre, half a mile from the Solent University main campus and Westquay Shopping Centre, and close to regular buses to the University of Southampton.
According to the latest figures from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), there are around 21,395 students in Southampton studying at the University of Southampton and Solent University.
Student Roost offer studio and en-suite student accommodation at Vincent Place. Dual occupancy is available if you'd like to live with a partner who is also a student.
There is short-term and summer accommodation available in Southampton with Student Roost - whether you'd like to stay for a semester or two, or across the entire summer.
From pub crawls to visiting the New Forest, there's something for every taste. Whether you're a night owl or looking for something more cultured, Southampton will have you covered.
Yes, it is. We offer dual occupancy as an option for some of our studios and apartments in Southampton, so you can rent and live together as a couple. You’ll also save some money on rent, compared with renting two separate rooms.
Yes, you can. We welcome students at all stages of their studies. While we don’t have postgraduate-only accommodation in Southampton we do have a selection of rooms for you to choose from.

Congratulations! You’ve got a place on a course through clearing and you’re going to university; but what happens next?
Well, the first thing you need to do is accept the offer of study sent to you by the university. You’ll need to do this via UCAS. Once this is done and it’s all confirmed, you’ll also need to let your student finance provider know if there are any changes to your original application, such as a change in the university you’re attending, the course you’re studying, and the length of the course.
It’s also important that you find and confirm your accommodation. Options for last minute accommodation can be limited, so let us help you take away the stress. At Student Roost, we have accommodation in 21 UK cities. Upgrade your student living and become a part of our student community.
One of the first things a student should do when exploring outside of their student accommodation in Southampton is to explore the city’s maritime and aviation background. The SeaCity Museum opened in 2012, on the 100th anniversary of RMS Titanic’s departure from the port, where you can learn all about it and so much more. Head to the Solent Sky Museum afterwards to discover all about the aviation manufacturer Supermarine, which produced the famous Spitfire fighter plane. Finally, head to Tudor House and Garden, the first museum in the city, to learn about the people who lived and worked in Southampton through the centuries.
There’s also a lot going on when it comes to culture and the arts, so you’ll have plenty of things to inspire you outside of your Southampton student studio. The Southampton City Art Gallery is a gorgeous space housed in an art deco building. It holds a ‘Designated Collection’ of 5,000 works that span eight centuries! Be sure to spend an afternoon there and look out for works by masters like Edgar Degas and Auguste Rodin. For an evening of entertainment, snap up tickets to one of the shows at the Mayflower Theatre, it hosts theatre productions and musicals alongside the occasional opera and comedy act.
Southampton really does have it all - from art to music and theatre, and most of all movies. The annual International Film Festival has transformed this city into a main player on the cinema front. Enjoy everything the city has to offer close to your Southampton university accommodation.
Finally, stretch your legs by heading to the Southampton Common, rich in wildlife, waterways, woods, and grassland. The Sir Harold Hillier Gardens is another green space to explore, complete with a cute tearoom. Feeling peckish? You won’t go hungry in the city – it’s full of traditional pubs, lovely restaurants, and food markets too. You can even learn all about how beer is made at one of two nearby breweries.
