Finally, all our rooms come with workspace storage in the form of spacious drawers and shelves for your books, lamps and other study accessories that you may need to keep on hand.

Dedicated study areas

Sometimes it’s nice to keep work and personal enjoyment separate. You might want a break from studying in your room where you will be spending a lot of time anyway. Our accommodation amenities include communal study areas if you need a change of scenery to get your head down and focus on your studies.

Communal study areas at Unite Students offer a variety of options for everyone who’s looking for to focus better when studying:

Whether it’s finding academic materials, attending online classes or beating homesickness by calling your folks, connectivity is vital to your success at uni.

All Unite Students properties offer great Wi-Fi availability with high-speed internet. No more problems with buffering, choppy video calls or slow document uploads.

Remember, connectivity charges are included in your rental cost, so you don’t need to worry about paying internet bills.

Proximity to campus also plays a huge role in your studying experience at uni. Regular trips to libraries, quick and easy access to classes and a better connection with both your uni mates and professors can give you an edge in your studies.

All Unite Students properties are in prime locations to provide you with convenient commutes to uni, whether it’s a quick walk or public transport. Never miss an important class or event when you live with us.

Explore our accommodation to find a spot that suits your needs – whether it’s close to uni campus, the hospital (for medical students) or your faculty.

3 top tips for studying at your student accommodation

Set your desk up properly

You’d be surprised how often a lack of prep can cause problems for your workspace. But having the right study setup will help you focus when studying. Here are a few quick ways to get started:

• Keep your main desk space clean with only the essentials

• Organise resources such as textbooks and notes in drawers

• Keep a variety of tools and stationery on hand (cables, pens, markers etc.) You never know what you might need!

• Make sure your monitor, mouse, keyboard and desk chair are at a comfortable height to prevent back, neck or wrist pain. A laptop riser can help with this.

We offer spacious desks and drawers in all our rooms so you can create a setup that suits your work style.

Minimise distractions

Constant phone notifications, doom scrolling through social media and FOMO when you can hear your mates in the kitchen – it’s easy to get distracted when you sit down to get some work done. Minimising distractions will help you focus better when studying. Here are a few pointers:

• Shut your door

• Put your phone on airplane mode

• Play a focus playlist on Spotify

• Tell your flatmates you’re studying and ask them not to disturb you

• Head to a quiet study pods or study room

Give yourself regular breaks

Going all in on studies for hours on end is never the right option for your mental health. Remember, a good balance comes from regular study sessions with breaks to give yourself a well-deserved rest. Make some tea, try meditation, socialise with friends, or take some scheduled time to decompress so you can remain centred and avoid burnout.
