Five reasons to book a semester stay at iQ 

Choosing where to live for a whole year can be too big of a decision for some – so why not make it easier and book a semester stay instead? From all the same perks to spicing things up a bit, here’s everything you need to know about why you should book a semester stay at iQ. 

1. You’ll be super close to where you need to be 

Our city centre locations put you in the perfect spot for getting to uni in over 29 UK towns and cities. You’ll be well connected to uni, but you’ll also be right around the corner from all the best hotspots that everyone’s talking about.  

If you’ve got a part time job, placement or work experience, a semester stay can give you a home in the centre for just the time you need.  

In London, we’ve got 18 locations dotted around the city, so whichever uni you’re headed to and whichever vibe you want, you’ll find the perfect place to settle into. 

2. You can try out a few different locations 

Some of us find it harder making decisions. Maybe you can’t choose between a little more quiet and a lot more noise. Or maybe you want to live in a studio for a few months and then have a shared kitchen for some others.  

Booking a semester stay gives you that extra flexibility to try out a few different things. In a lot of cities, we’ve got a few different locations, so you could even move around to make the most of the different social spaces we have onsite. Karaoke room and games arcade in the winter, courtyard and rooftop terrace in the spring. Take your pick.  

3. You’ll get all the same perks as a year-long stay 

When you book a semester stay at iQ, you get access to all the same perks, just in a shorter package. That means bills, wifi and onsite spaces on us, plus all the insider info you need to make the most of the city around you.  

You’ll still be able to download the iQ app where you’ll get exclusive offers, delivery notifications and more. And you’ll still be able to join in with our events and iQ Clubs 

4. You’ll have the perfect place to study 

Living at home and have a brother who just got a little bit too annoying? Booking a semester stay can give you the peace and quiet you need to study at the most important points of the year.  

Each of our rooms comes with a dedicated study desk and chair, so you’ve always got a relaxing place to get your best work done. A lot of our locations also have social study lounges if you prefer a bit of company instead. Our wifi will keep you connected, and your comfy bed is just a few steps away when you’ve been hitting the books too hard.  

5. You’ll meet some great new people 

If you’re a people person, booking a semester stay gives you new neighbours to say hello to. Uni’s as much about having a great social experience as it is about bettering yourself and your future career. A room with a shared kitchen will put potential mates right outside your door, but our events and Clubs will put them just around the corner too. Whether you’re a gamer, foodie, reader or just curious, check out iQ Clubs for how to get involved – and how you can win some freebies each month too.
