In this section, I like to look at what student accommodation there is in Twickenham. This is student accommodation that isn’t owned or managed by the university.

It can come with a lot of added extras, some of these are:

- Free coffee
- Free breakfasts
- Bikes to use
- Contents insurance
- En-suites in flats
- Bills included

There are many more that I will have missed, however, not every student accommodation will be able to offer everything on the list due to money and space in the accommodation.
There isn’t a lot of student accommodation directly around St Marys University, however, there is university-managed accommodation which makes life a little easier as you could stay there.
