Flexible Payment Options

We understand student finances, which is why Athena Hall offers two convenient payment methods for your Ipswich student housing.

• Pay in Full: Complete your payment upfront and enjoy peace of mind knowing your accommodation costs are settled. This option often appeals to international students or those preferring to handle expenses early.
• Student Finance Instalments: Our instalment plan aligns perfectly with student finance payment schedules, making budgeting easier throughout the academic year. These payments spread your accommodation costs, helping you manage your university expenses effectively.

UK Guarantor Requirements

For students choosing the instalment payment option, a UK-based guarantor is required. This standard practice for student accommodation near University of Derby provides security for both parties.

Don’t have a UK guarantor? No problem. Roman House partners with Your Guarantor, a professional guarantor service that acts on your behalf, ensuring international and UK students alike can access our flexible payment plans.
