Student Cribs provide student housing of an exceptional quality, in shared houses and flats across 23 UK cities. We are the largest provider of accommodation to 2nd and 3rd year students in the UK, shaping the market with excellent customer service and consistent process innovation.Charlie Vaughan-Lee founded Students Cribs in 2003 while at university in Britsol, frustrated that letting agents refused to let him and his friends quality accommodation as they were students. Rounding up investors, Charlie purchased and renovated 3 properties, which he then let to very happy friends. Charlie’s vision that students should be afforded a better standard of living while enjoying the peace of mind that they are living somewhere secure is now alive across the UK, and instilled in the team’s central London headquarters.
