In most cases, yes. Most of the halls and PBSA blocks accept advanced rent payment or a guaranteed service rather than UK-based one. Private shared houses require a UK guarantor much more often.

In almost all of the university halls and PBSA, such as iQ The Pad, The Garage and Hox Park, one has to pay only one weekly bill that includes electricity, gas, water and WiFi. The only exclusion is private HMO houses where one needs to clarify everything about the payment beforehand.

One should start looking from spring if his/her course will start in September. The rooms around the Founder's Building and Englefield Green are the quickest in booking, however, there are PBSAs who accept applications even after the period.
