Student Wellbeing
Reception and security staff are onsite so there’s always support and advice available – if you need it. You want to achieve your independence and we are committed to helping and supporting you to do just that.
In The Biscuit Factory we promote the mental, physical health and emotional wellbeing of all staff and residents. We actively encourage students and staff to look after their mental health and encourage residents to discuss any issues relating to emotional wellbeing without fear of stigma.
Security staff are available throughout the night to address any issues which may arise outside of office hours to provide additional advice and assistance to residents as required.

The payment plan options available to you will be dependent on whether you have a UK Guarantor or not.

UK Students Guarantor Information
In order to be eligible to pay rent in instalments, UK students need to provide the details of someone who will act as their guarantor. The guarantor is usually a parent or guardian, but can be a sibling or a family friend, as long as the person named is also resident in the UK and is prepared to accept the obligations of being a guarantor. This means accepting that they are legally bound to pay any outstanding rent if you (the student) fail to do so for any reason.
The accommodation owner may need to verify the identity of the proposed guarantor and can refuse to accept any guarantor who cannot be located on the electoral roll. However they will not verify their residence status or income and so any adult UK resident is acceptable as a guarantor in most circumstances.
If you are a UK student but you don’t have someone who will act as your guarantor, you can use the Ulster University Guarantor Service
Students Outside of UK Guarantor Information
This includes students living in the Republic of Ireland, Gibraltar, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. If you are resident outside the UK but have someone in the UK who is prepared to act as your guarantor, it is possible for you to pay in instalments.
If you are unable to pay in full Ulster University is proud to partner with Housing Hand for the Ulster University Guarantor Service to help UK, EU and International students, provide a qualifying UK Guarantor.
Payment Plan Options

1. Pay in full in advance (payment must be recieved before check in dates)

Testimonials
"I have been living in LIV for about 3 months now. I am really enjoying living here, it is so close to campus and I really loving the social and community vibe going on here, everyone is so friendly and get on so well. The best thing about LIV is the events that are run, they normally run a big event every month downstairs. They are always really good and it’s a great way to meet new people. I am in an ensuite room which is great for me as I like my own personal space where I can chill out and have some time to myself, but I also enjoy socialising with my flatmates in the shared kitchen which is good as well. I would really recommend staying here if you are thinking of staying in student accommodation. It is such a good experience; you get to meet so many new people and it’s a lot of fun"
Testimonials
"I have been living in student accommodation for about half a year now. I love living in LIV because all of the bills are included in the rent, it’s only a 10–15-minute walk away from the city centre and there is also a Tesco downstairs. The best thing about living in LIV is the staff, they are great, especially the ResLife Coordinators, they are always there is you need a chat, you can even pop in after a night out. I live in a Bronze Studio with my partner, it is great for couples as it provides privacy and plenty of space. If you are thinking of living here, I would 100% recommend it, I have loved my time here so far."
