Vita Student:
the complete guide
for 2026/27

Yes. Every room at every Vita Student residence — Classic, Premium, Deluxe and Ultimate — includes a private kitchen and a private ensuite bathroom. There are no shared bathrooms at any tier. Some Vita properties offer "Shared" rooms at select buildings (where you have a private ensuite but share a kitchen/lounge with a small group), but the standard product across all Vita properties is a fully self-contained studio.

All utility bills, superfast Wi-Fi (150mbps, up to 10 devices), weekday breakfast, fortnightly professional housekeeping, 24/7 gym access, free-to-use bikes, contents insurance, GP access (UK buildings), private bookable study rooms, regular social events and access to the career and alumni programme. Deluxe and Ultimate bookings also include a complimentary airport pickup service worth up to £250. Laundry is the one cost that sits outside the rent at most properties.

Vita is particularly well-suited to international students. The community brings together students from 100+ nationalities, which creates an unusually diverse and internationally minded environment. The all-in model removes the admin of setting up utility accounts, and the included GP access is especially useful for students unfamiliar with NHS registration. Deluxe and Ultimate bookings include an airport pickup service. See our international students guide for more.

Vita's career programme includes access to career talks from industry speakers, CV workshops, networking events and an exclusive alumni community. This connects current residents with Vita alumni who have gone on to graduate employment. It's a genuine differentiator — no other PBSA provider offers career development as a standard resident benefit — and it's particularly relevant for international students looking to build networks in the UK.

This is the right question to ask. Weekday breakfast at a café costs roughly £5–7 per day, adding up to £30–35/week. A gym membership runs £15–25/month. Fortnightly professional cleaning would cost £40–60 per session on the open market. Add contents insurance and GP access on top. When you factor these in, the effective gap between Vita's rent and a comparable private studio with no inclusions is often much smaller than the headline figures suggest. Use our accommodation cost guide to run the comparison.

Yes. Vita offers dual occupancy at most buildings, with an additional charge of 20% on the room rate. Deluxe and Ultimate rooms are best suited for this given the extra space and the king size bed. Contact the specific Vita property directly to confirm dual occupancy availability and pricing for your building and room type.

Vita has on-site teams at all residences available 24/7. Contact reception or the team directly to report maintenance issues. The housekeeping team also cleans communal areas twice weekly and will flag any room issues they notice during their fortnightly studio clean. The high-touch model means maintenance issues are typically identified and resolved faster than at providers relying solely on a resident-reporting app.
