If you’ve already explored CampusKey, you’ll know it’s about more than just “free Wi-Fi and really good coffee” it’s about creating an environment where students can live, study, and connect in one place. Below, we break down the most frequently asked questions about CampusKey facilities so you know exactly what to expect.
Is parking available at CampusKey?
Yes, parking is available at most CampusKey locations! It works on a first come, first serve basis so be sure to add parking when you apply for your room to secure your spot. Limited bays available!
Parking is often one of the first things students ask about especially in busy student cities. Because CampusKey buildings are located close to major universities, many students choose to walk or cycle, but if you are bringing a car, applying early is key to securing a bay.
Does CampusKey provide me with meals?
No, CampusKey does not provide meals to students. However, our students have the facilities and choice to cook either in their own room, or together with friends and fellow students in the shared kitchens. 4 of our locations also boats with an on-site cafe, CK mini, where students can pickup hot coffee and fresh lunches.
This setup is intentional. CampusKey is designed to give students independence while still creating opportunities for connection. Whether you’re cooking solo or hosting a pasta night with friends, the shared and private kitchen options allow you to choose your vibe.
Will my room be cleaned?
Only our Platinum Room Types include weekly cleaning of their rooms. For the other rooms, the students are responsible for cleaning their individual rooms.
This ties into the different room experiences CampusKey offers. As highlighted in “We’ve got the perfect room for every student”, each room type is designed around how you want to live whether that’s fully independent, slightly social, or more serviced and hands-off.
Are there storage space for my bags or suitcases in my room?
Yes. There is storage space in your room, under your bed and on top of your wardrobe.
CampusKey rooms are designed with functionality in mind. It’s not just about aesthetics it’s about making sure your space actually works for student life. Smart storage means less clutter and more room to focus, relax, or host your friends.
Does CampusKey offer on-site laundry facilities?
CampusKey has on-site self-help laundry facilities on each campus, operated by pre-paid washer and dryer tokens.
Having laundry on-site is one of those small conveniences that makes a big difference. It means no extra trips, no wasted time just easy, accessible living within your building.
Where do I store my bicycle?
We are bicycle friendly! Bicycles can be stored in the secure biometric access bicycle shed provided at each campus.
Safety and accessibility go hand in hand at CampusKey. With secure access systems and designated storage spaces, students can move around freely while knowing their belongings are protected.
