Why Choose DIGS Student Accommodation?

We know students expect more than just a roof over their heads.

All DIGS properties are managed by South Street Asset Management, one of the largest student accommodation managers in the sector. South Street works with several institutions as either preferred supplier or by nomination agreements and here are some of the reasons that our partner institutions have chosen us:

We have the best facilities management in the business.

South Street are partnered with Sodexo, one of the world’s leading facilities management providers. Sodexo carries out all of the “hard” facilities management, taking care of everything from security and CCTV to cleaning and grounds maintenance. This means DIGS staff can invest a great deal of time into helping students settle into their accommodation and provide the best possible student experience. South Street and Sodexo staff work as one team in the same office so the service to the student is completely seamless.

We keep in touch with students by keeping up with them.

We were the first student accommodation provider in the UK to embrace social media. “DIGS” uses Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and blogs to communicate with students and to make sure we’re giving them the support they need, when and how it suits them. The fact that we communicate so clearly and so regularly has helped us to build up a very strong reputation amongst students. Proof of this is the number of students who not only come back year after year, but also recommend us to their friends.

We’re student accommodation specialists.

Unlike some property managers, student accommodation is all we do. All of our staff are specialists in the market with long careers in the student accommodation sector. That means we develop our service based on years of combined experience and we anticipate problems before they happen. Our market-leading student database Occam Room Service manages every aspect of the student accommodation cycle without any fuss or disruption.
