• •Safety. The site has CCTV, secure key card entry, a fire system and a 24/7 on site team, and Raglan Street itself is a well used student route with steady footfall through the evening.
• •Green space. Gosford Green and the Lady Herbert's Garden are both within a short walk, and the Coventry Canal Basin gives you a proper towpath walk when you need to leave the ring road behind.
• •Who is around. The residents are largely Coventry University students with a strong international presence, particularly from India, Nigeria and China, which shapes both the social scene and the local shops.
• •What is around. FarGo Village is the standout, with independent food traders, vintage shops, a barber and events at weekends, all a few minutes on foot from the front door.
• •Everyday errands. Coventry city centre is roughly twelve minutes away, giving you supermarkets, banks, the market, West Orchards and Lower Precinct without ever needing public transport.
• •Noise. Proximity to the ring road and city centre means constant low level traffic sound, so ask for a room facing the internal courtyard if you are a light sleeper.

What you should know before your child signs

• •All bills are included. Wifi, heating, electricity, water, gas and contents insurance sit inside the weekly rent, so there are no separate utility bills to manage.
• •No cleaning service is provided. Bedrooms and shared kitchens are the residents' responsibility, which is worth discussing before your child moves in.
• •Bedding is not supplied. Duvet, pillows, sheets and towels all need to be bought or brought, ideally before the first night.
• •A UK guarantor is usually expected. Where there is none, an advance payment plan is normally offered, so ask about this early in the process.
• •The site has 24/7 staff. There is CCTV, secure entry, a fire system and an on site team, which is a meaningful reassurance for first year students.
• •Cancellation cover exists. Documented visa refusal or missed grades usually allow release from the agreement, provided evidence is submitted promptly.

• •Arrival. Birmingham Airport is about twenty five minutes away by train and taxi, and Coventry station is roughly eighteen minutes on foot from Raglan Street. Book a check in slot before you fly, and arrange a taxi if you land late with luggage.
• •No UK guarantor. Most international students will not have one, and that is expected here. An advance payment option is normally available in place of a guarantor, so raise it with your adviser at application rather than after signing.
• •Visa safety net. The No Visa No Pay policy releases you from the agreement when a visa refusal is properly evidenced. Keep the official refusal letter and submit it immediately, since these claims carry time limits.
• •Setup. Open a UK bank account in your first fortnight, get a pay as you go SIM from Lebara, Lyca or Giffgaff, register with a GP, and buy a Type G adaptor before you travel rather than after.
• •Home food. Foleshill Road is Coventry's South Asian grocery and halal butcher hub, roughly fifteen minutes away. Bestplus and Wah Yan Hong cover East Asian staples in the city centre, and Coventry Market has affordable fresh produce.
