Published
Last updated

Thinking about where to live next year? The best move is no move. Here are 10 reasons to stay right where you are.

No boxes. No guesswork. No goodbyes. Staying at Scape means more of what you already love, and none of the headaches of moving. Scape residents get first pick of 2027-28 rooms before anyone else can book. Grab yours before this exclusive window closes. It’s risky leaving it any later, as rates go up and the most popular rooms start filling up.

Residents get the best rates

Scape is really popular and rooms don’t hang around for long. Luckily, current residents get first pick of all the best rooms, before anyone else even knows they’re up for grabs.

Keep your same room or upgrade to something bigger. Either way, booking early gets you a £1,000* rent discount and our lowest rates, with no new deposit to sort.

Don't sleep on it. Once the exclusivity window closes, rooms go live to everybody and they’ll go quickly. You could lose your spot, along with your discount.

Award-winning student living

Scape is next-level student living, with the awards to back it up. We’ve won Student Accommodation Operator of the Year four times, in 2025, 2024, 2021 and 2019. Scape Leeds also scooped Outstanding Residential Design and Best Student Housing Design in 2025, and we took home Property Manager of the Year in 2026. This isn’t a fluke, it’s a pattern. The standard doesn’t slip, no matter how long you stay,

 

We’re also proud leaders in sustainability, ranking #1 for student housing in the UK and Europe. Proving that student living can be both beautiful and responsible all at once.

Unbeatable value for money

You’re not just paying rent. You’re investing in a (much) better student experience. Sure, Scape London or our award-winning Leeds student accommodation might cost more than basic halls or private flats. But you get what you pay for, and the difference is night and day.

Forget look-alike halls and bare-bones amenities. Being stuck in a random room on campus, sharing a bathroom, and dreading if someone's going to blast the music at 3am.

Staying with Scape means keeping everything you already love, including award-winning comfort, unbeatable convenience and a community that feels like home. The freedom to live on your own terms, with a team on hand to support with whatever you need.
