Types of Student Accommodation Near Regent College London

Stoke-on-Trent student accommodation options are mainly available in Ensuite rooms, non-Ensuite rooms, studio apartments, and accessible apartments. Here's what each one actually means for your day-to-day life.

1. Studio rooms give you a private bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette all to yourself, with no sharing at all.

En-suite rooms offer a private bedroom and bathroom, a furnished shared kitchen, and a living room with communal amenities. Most include all bills, and the social aspect of shared kitchens suits students in their first year particularly well.
3. Non-en-suite rooms are the most common in Shelton's private shared houses, with a private bedroom, shared bathroom, and shared kitchen. Non-en-suite rooms provide a standard single room with a furnished shared kitchen, bathroom, and living space in each flat. They come in at the lowest weekly cost and work well for students who are comfortable with shared bathrooms in exchange for lower rent.
4. Shared apartments and houses put you in a property with other students, sharing most facilities. Four-bedroom houses have been the most popular property type in Stoke for 2026–27, given their easy access to campus.
