Celebrating Excellence in Purpose Built Student Accommodation
Based on feedback from 50,000+ students
About the awards
The National Student Housing Awards are unique. We don’t take written nominations and there are no ‘expert’ judges.
All our awards are based 100% on direct feedback from tens of thousands of home and international students across the UK and Ireland.
Universities and private accommodation providers can participate in the Awards free of charge through the Global Student Living Index.

The 2021 Finalists
Most awards are based on student feedback from the Spring (Exit) wave of the Index.
However, the Best Booking Experience and Best Moving In Experience awards are based exclusively on the Autumn (Arrivals) wave.
Congratulations to the 2021 finalists in these two vital categories!
The winners will be announced alongside all other categories at the end of summer 2021.
