FAQs
What’s the difference between Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) and university managed accommodations?
The main difference is that university managed accommodations are allocated by the university accommodation office. Booking usually requires an offer and contacting the office by email, and dorms are typically reserved for first-year students.
PBSAs on the other hand are more flexible, can be booked even without an offer. You can choose your own room and receive instant booking confirmation.
