Where you choose to live can make all the difference to your university experience. And it’s not just about having a place to sleep, eat, study and repeat – it’s about building a community, making lifelong friends, and creating memories that last long after graduation.
Vita student accommodation is an experience you take with you for life. Our spaces and experiences are carefully designed to help students like yourself thrive academically and socially.
We’ll show you why our student accommodation is the perfect home away from home and why we should be at the top of your list when considering where to live for the next academic year.
Let’s get into it.
How Vita Helps You Build a Strong Social Network
Moving to a new city or a new country can be daunting. That’s why we go the extra mile to create opportunities for our residents to make friends and build lasting relationships.
From day one, we organise exclusive events tailored to bring people together.
These events include social mixers, craft workshops, cooking classes, and fitness sessions in our fully equipped gyms. We understand that not everyone is a natural social butterfly, so there’s always something going on that makes meeting new people easier.
What makes this even more special is that our Vita Student residents come from all corners of the globe, so you’re sure to meet students from different backgrounds, allowing you to build a global network that could come in handy later in life.
Did you know…
In a survey of over 4,000 Vita residents, students agreed that Vita gave them countless opportunities to meet people and form meaningful friendships.
Vita’s alumni network of over 2,000 students continues to stay connected well after graduation, with events taking place in China, Manchester, and London – proving just how strong the connections made at Vita can be.
Here’s what one student had to say:
“Vita has given me many opportunities to build meaningful relationships, which I aim to carry forward in my life while providing a safe and comfortable environment for someone who has never lived alone before.”

Vita’s Shared Spaces: Where Friendships Are Made
One key aspect of student life at Vita is the shared spaces, which are perfect for both studying and socialising. Vita isn’t your typical student accommodation where you are confined to your flat, and that’s it; it’s a dynamic environment with modern communal spaces and study rooms.
These common areas are designed for students like you, providing an ideal backdrop for project collaboration, casual catch-ups, or even spontaneous study sessions with your newfound friends and acquaintances.
Our shared kitchens and living areas also add to the social buzz, creating a community feel that’s essential for students adjusting to life away from home. For international students in particular, these shared spaces make it easy to bond over shared experiences and, of course, food!
One of our residents in Belfast said: “From the moment I moved in, I knew I had found more than just a place to stay—it’s a vibrant community I’m proud to be a part of…The regular events and activities organized by Vita Student have made it easy to meet new friends and create unforgettable memories.”
Making Friends at Vita Student
So, why is Vita Student such a great place to make friends?
If all of the above wasn’t reason enough, our amazing staff are always there to lend a hand. Take the experience of students at Vita Student Cardiff, for example. Students there spoke highly of the many social events, from coffee mornings to group yoga classes, that helped them quickly break the ice.
By the time classes started, many students had already formed a solid network of friends.
One of our residents said, “It’s been a really comfortable place to live, especially in my final year. I’ve made lots of friends and had a really great time, but I’ve also been able to concentrate on work when I need to.”
