Unite Students provides 'home for success'

British universities attracted more than 95,000 Chinese students last year, increasing the demand for secure, well-managed living spaces for students. Unite Students, Britain's largest developer and operator of student accommodation, works with higher education providers to provide a home for students from all over the world who are studying in Britain.

"We provide a home that supports students' success and helps them achieve more from their time at university, whether that is academic success, personal growth or employability," says Mark Allan, CEO of Unite Students. "Location is the most critical. All our properties are close to university campuses and local amenities and we provide a straightforward and hassle-free service."

A melting pot of diverse cultures, backgrounds and experiences, Unite Students is home to 41,000 students in over 120 properties across 23 of Britain's strongest university towns and cities. Among its top buildings are Moonraker Point situated near King's College London, Grand Central in Liverpool, The Plaza in Leeds, The Forge in Sheffield and Parkway Gate in Manchester.

Unite Students' facilities are designed to provide a home where students can enjoy studying and socialising. Unlike traditional rental houses that solely provide living spaces, Unite Students offers complementary services that make students' stays more organised and convenient. A single payment scheme includes rent and all other utility bills, access to high-speed wireless internet, on-site maintenance and cleaning teams. It includes customer service and support for students 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Unite Students offers various accommodation options through its online booking system that allows students to browse, see photos, compare prices and locations, and book a room. Studio apartments are available with private living and kitchen areas, and shared flats with study bedrooms, a private bathroom and a communal kitchen. It also supplies flexible tenancy lengths, 24-hour security and pre-arrival support services.

Unite Students provides a home to students from all over the world and welcomes foreign students, particularly from China and Asia. "Almost half of our Chinese customers choose to live with us because of recommendations from former students or customers," Allan says. "We have the strongest brand in UK student accommodation. We offer high-quality service at very competitive rates."
