Studio Choices and Prices
Types of Studios You Can Pick
The Cube Ealing offers five different studios to match your budget and space needs. Each one comes with a bathroom and a kitchen of your own, and all you need to live on your own.
- Standard Studio: At £369 each week, this room is small but has all basics like a desk, a place for your clothes, and your own cooking area. It’s good for students who want their own space without spending too much.
- Standard Plus Studio: This one costs £379 every week and gives you a bit more space. It has all the good features of the standard, but the extra room is nice for studying a lot or having friends over.
- Premium Studio: For £389 per week, this room is more comfy with new stuff and big windows. The layout lets you keep sleep, work, and cooking areas apart.
- Premium Plus Studio: The biggest option at £399 a week. It has the best stuff, more places to store things, and lots of room. It’s ideal for students who have lots of stuff or spend a lot of time in their room.
- Twin Studio: A room for two at £275 each person each week. Both share the room but still get their own bathroom and kitchen. This is great for saving money and making new friends.
All, except for the Twin Studio, are meant for just one person to make sure you have a private and comfy place to stay.

Costs to Think About
Most things are in the weekly cost, but some extras are:
- Laundry: You pay as you use. Jin, one person living there, said:
"The laundry is a bit too much."
- TV Licence: If you watch live TV or stream, get your own TV licence.
- Bedding Packs: These you pay extra for.
- Room Changes or Cancellations: Switch rooms or cancel late? There’s a £100 fee.
Clear prices, easy pay ways, and good extras make The Cube Ealing a smart, worry-free pick for student homes.
Study and Meet Friends
What You Can Use
The Cube Ealing is made to help students do well in school. It has very fast 250 Mbps Wi-Fi everywhere so you can trust it when you do research, go to online classes, and more. Each room has its own desk and chair, making a spot with no noise for your study time. If you like a switch of view, there’s a shared room for group work and a special quiet zone for hard study.
Your rent each week pays for all services – Wi-Fi, warmth, power, and water – so you don’t have to worry about extra costs.
Meet and Learn With Others
The Cube Ealing isn’t just a home – it’s a place to meet others and enjoy school life. Events every few months, like movie nights, game matches, and themed parties, bring people together in a fun way. There’s also help for student groups and clubs in sports, arts, and culture.
If you want to mix meeting up and learning, working together in study groups and getting help from academic support teams are good ways. Events to meet work pros and past students give you a look at work choices.
It’s easy to stay in touch with special groups like WhatsApp, which help people plan things and chat.

"The Cube Ealing has truly felt like a home away from home. The sense of community and the varied social activities have helped me settle in and enrich my university experience."
Looking at a 4.0/5 from the people who live there, The Cube Ealing does well in both school help and fun social life. It makes a place where UWL students can do their best.

How to Move In
Steps to Apply
To start is easy, but you need a few key papers. Be sure to have a valid photo ID and proof you are in UWL. If you are using the "No Place No Pay" rule, hold on to your uni offer or letter. This rule helps if your school plans shift.
To lock down your room, you must pay a £255 deposit. This cash will turn into your refundable deposit once you sign your stay deal. Then, fill out the form on the Student Portal and sign your stay deal online.
For rent, you can pick from many ways to pay that fit your case. If you can pay all your rent at once, you need no one to back you and might even get a cut in how much you pay. If you want to pay in 2, 3, or 4 parts, you need a guarantor from the UK. Your guarantor must be over 18, live in the UK, have good credit, and give papers like their income proof, photo ID, UK home proof, and work proof like pay slips. If getting a guarantor is hard, there are paid services for this.
For students from outside, be sure to have all you need for your UK visa ask. The "No Visa No Pay" rule lets you drop out with no fee if your visa ask fails. Once your spot is set, you can plan a smooth move-in day at The Cube Ealing.
Preparing for Move-In Day
Moving in can seem big, but some prep makes it easier. Before the big day, learn about the campus and how to get to The Cube Ealing.
When you get there, the on-site team will help you check the property list. This step marks down how your studio, furniture, and tools look. It’s smart to snap photos of the list for your files – it helps keep your deposit safe.
Your rent covers all bills, including Wi-Fi, heat, power, and water, so no extra costs. The team will show you how to join the fast Wi-Fi and tour the building.
Pack what you need for a few days – like bed stuff, basic kitchen gear, and study stuff. While your space has furniture, adding your own touch makes it your home. After you’re in, look around at local stores and help.
The team is there all day and night to help with any needs, from getting into the building to meeting other people who live there. Coming a few days before school starts lets you settle in.
Lastly, joining resident WhatsApp groups is a great way to meet your new neighbors and feel part of the community at The Cube Ealing.
