Student accommodation: days to remember

Student life in London is so much more than just studying – and your student accommodation is so much more than just a room. Yes, it’s where you eat, sleep and revise, but it’s also the hub of your student experience – having fun, chilling out, and making memories. And if you’re planning to study in the big city, you’ll also want a home away from home where you’ll find friends. Welcome to Prodigy Living, a new kind of student accommodation.

“We provide much more than just a room in a building – we build communities for our residents,” says Jeff Manno, managing director, Prodigy Living. “Each community offers exceptional social spaces to help our residents study and relax. We host regular social events to help them build their networks and friendship groups, and get the most possible out of their university experience.”

Forget the clichés about grubby student digs – Prodigy Living’s nine London properties are stylish and smart. Ideally placed in central London locations, including trendy Notting Hill and cutting-edge Spitalfields. Residents can make use of superfast Wi-Fi, free gyms and, in some cases, even a cinema.

All the houses are safe and secure, with on-site maintenance and management teams ready to sort out any problems at any time. There’s a simple payment structure, all-inclusive hassle-free rent, and no UK guarantor is required for overseas residents. Prodigy Living properties aren’t just in London, either – you’ll also find them in other student cities across the UK.

Alvin, from India, stayed at Woodland House, Islington, for a year and will be returning. “I must say it has exceeded my expectations,” he says. “My greatest experience was the management staff. Every staff member greeted me. They keep residents feeling homely and part of the family.”

Great facilities were key for Rae Lim, from China, who lived at Great Suffolk House, Southwark. “It’s the perfect combination of a great location, a social space and a student hub,” she says. “The management team are faultless and the facilities are continually improving.”

There’s no time quite like being a student. Whether you’re leaving home or your home country for the first time, you’ll want to make the most of these precious years. At Prodigy Living, you can be sure of a warm welcome, the space to achieve your personal and academic goals – and the time of your life.
