The perks of living at iQ

Uni life should give you your best years yet. That means having the right space to meet the right people, to make uni life easy, and to build an experience to remember.  

We know what students want. We’ve asked thousands of you across the UK and beyond so that we can give you the things you need for the student life that’s right for you.   

Here are some of the ways iQ helps you to get the best out of your uni experience.  

Close to uni locations 

With over 70 buildings across 29 UK towns and cities, you’re never far from the action. The majority of our sites are in city centre locations that give you an easy journey to uni and plenty to do when you’re not studying.  

You can get to plenty of unis with just a short walk from your room, making early alarms a thing of the past. iQ Brighton is just a 2-minute walk to the Uni of Brighton’s Moulsecoomb campus while iQ Bloomsbury is a 4-minute walk to UCL and a 9-minute walk to SOAS, for example.  

When a site isn’t within walking distance to class, you’ll have great transport links close by so you’re still making the most of the time you have at uni.  

Your own private bathroom 

We know that your privacy matters. Almost all of our rooms have en suites, so you never have to wait for the shower. If you choose an en suite room, you’ll have your own bathroom but a shared kitchen, so you can still make the most of a social buzz with your mates. For full independence, a studio will give you a bed, bathroom and kitchen all to yourself.  

In some cases – iQ Stephenson House and iQ Knight House, iQ The Arcade - clusters of flats will share bathrooms. These are great-value options that still give you your own private room.  

All-inclusive bills 

Nobody likes bills. We include them as part of your rent so you don’t have to worry about them. You’ll know exactly what you’ll have to pay upfront thanks to our fixed rent, so you won’t need to worry about price changes and surprising bills.  

Onsite social spaces 

You know the feeling. You want to hang out with your mates but you don’t want to get dressed up and journey out. With onsite social spaces, you never have to go far to let off steam. From study lounges and cinema rooms to roof terraces and even climbing walls, there’s a space for everyone to feel at home.  

Exclusive events & iQ Clubs 

Social life, sorted. Find your people as you enjoy events exclusive to iQers in the social spaces onsite. Meet likeminded students in our Clubs, whether you’re into books, cooking, gaming or fitness. Take part in events, make mates in our groupchats, or win big in our monthly giveaways. The stage is set for you to find your friends for life.
