- Who is eligible to book with AXO Student Living?
Any full time student can live with AXO. If you are unsure as to whether you quality please call us on the relevant reception number to discuss your situation.
- If I am doing an internship / placement year, am I allowed to live in an AXO property?
As long as you are still registered as a full time student and your placement is part of your degree/course then yes, you can still live with AXO Student during the academic year.
Outside of the academic term, some of our properties are able to accommodate non-students and part time students on a short term basis – so do get in touch if this is something you require.
- What happens if I change my mind after booking the room?
You have a 7 day ‘cooling off’ period from the point you pay your deposit as long as the 7 days lapse before the tenancy start date. Once the tenancy has started, you are not able to cancel.
If after the tenancy has started you want to leave, you will need to find a replacement to take over your room. We can advise you with this. Just speak to reception if this is something you require.
- What is a deposit protection scheme?
By law, if you pay a deposit to your landlord or letting agent then they must protect it in a government-authorised tenancy deposit protection scheme. It applies to all landlords and agents in England and Wales who have an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) agreement (the contract) with their tenant.
It was introduced to ensure that you are able to get your deposit back from your landlord or agent when you move out.
- What are the payment options?
There is a range of payment instalment options available to choose from, ranging from 1-10, depending on which property you choose to stay at. If you need more flexible options or any dates need to be changed due to delays in your student finance, then this may be considered pending you provide evidence of your confirmed payment dates from SFE.

Students can pay using our online AXO Portal.
- Can I make special requests on my application such as living in an all-female flat?
Yes. On our online application you will find a section for additional information. In this section you can state any such special requests. Although we are not able to guarantee every request as it does depend on specific requests, the number of people making requests and the fact that we do not actually allocate rooms until a few weeks before tenancy start – we do try our best to make sure as many requests as possible are met.
However in the vast majority of cases, we are usually able to successfully accommodate requests such as same gender, postgraduate or undergraduate flats. Its a good idea to contact sites to discuss.
- Are the room pictures on the website of the exact room I would receive?
The room pictures on the website are only indicative of the room type and not of the actual room you may be allocated. The reason for this is firstly we have so many rooms across the country, that it is not possible to put an image of every single room. Secondly, we receive many room preference requests from students i.e. female only, postgraduates only etc that we must wait until close to check in to allocate an exact room to make sure we do our best to meet resident requests. However you will of course be allocated the room type you have selected.
- Will I get a chance to meet new people and make friends at AXO?
Yes, definitely! As part of our AXO Life program, we run an extensive events calendar across all our sites. An aim of this program is to allow residents to meet each other and make new friends.
