About
Everything students spend on, in one honest place.
Everything Student lists where to live, eat, drink, train, shop, get a haircut, bank and insure in every UK university city. And we move and store your things over the holidays. 8,465 businesses across 46 cities, independents first.
Starting at a new university usually means a dozen tabs open. One for the letting agent, one for the good coffee shop, one for a gym near halls, one for the supermarket that delivers, and one for a way to shift a room's worth of things home for the summer. Everything Student pulls all of it into one place so the next thing you need starts with a single search.
Who we are
Everything Student is operated by UniMove, a working student storage and moving business founded in 2014 and part of the same group as PianoSpeed. The operating company is UniMove Student Storage, based at Unit 4, Uffington Trading Estate, Faringdon SN7 7QD. We do not hide that. A directory that moves and stores students' things for a living knows student cities from the inside, and being open about who runs it is the only honest way to do this.
Because we run our own storage and moving, that one service funnels to UniMove. Everything else, the accommodation and the places to eat and drink and everything in between, is listed on merit with no stake of ours involved. The line between the two is drawn on every page and set out in full on our disclosure.
What the directory covers
We list the things a student actually spends on:
- Accommodation and student lettings, independents first.
- Eating out, cafés and coffee, pubs and bars.
- Gyms and fitness, supermarkets and grocery shops.
- Barbers, hair and beauty salons.
- Banks with student accounts, and insurers for contents, gadget and travel cover.
And we run the heavy, awkward part ourselves: collecting, storing and returning your things over the holidays, door to door.
Verified, not scraped wholesale
Base details are seeded from OpenStreetMap, which is open data under the ODbL licence, then checked and refined by hand. Owners can claim a listing and put their own details right. We never invent a business, never fabricate a detail, and never pad the numbers. A blank field means we have not confirmed it yet, which is an invitation to the owner to fill it in, free. The full method is on how we list.
Independents first
Where two listings are equal on the facts, the independent comes first. Chains and large groups are still listed, but shown as what they are. If you wanted the nearest national chain you would not need us, so the directory leans towards the owner-run places that are harder to find and easier to lose.
How we keep the lights on
The storage and moving business pays for the directory. On top of that, the local businesses we list can claim their listing free and, if they choose, pay for a Featured placement. Featured is clearly marked as paid inventory and never lets a weaker listing outrank a better one on merit. Any affiliate arrangement is currently dormant and will be disclosed the moment it goes live. We never sell rank.
Your things over the holidays
UniMove collects your things from your room, stores them safely over the holidays and brings them back when you return. Door to door, packed and labelled, one price paid up front. UniMove work across UK university cities in England, Scotland, Wales and Belfast, with a scheduled collection day each week. One all-in price covers collection, storage and return. See it before you pay. The booking tool is the single source of truth for your day and your price.
Who runs Everything Student?
Everything Student is operated by UniMove, a UK student storage and moving business founded in 2014 and part of the same group as PianoSpeed. The operating company is UniMove Student Storage, based at Unit 4, Uffington Trading Estate, Faringdon SN7 7QD. We say so openly so you know exactly who is behind the directory.
Is Everything Student independent of the businesses it lists?
For the places we list, yes. We are not affiliated with any landlord, letting agent, restaurant, café, pub, gym, supermarket, barber, bank or insurer. The one part we run ourselves is student storage and moving, which goes to UniMove, and that is disclosed on every page where it appears.
Where does your data come from?
Base details for accommodation, eating out, cafés, pubs, gyms, supermarkets, barbers, banks and insurers are seeded from OpenStreetMap (ODbL) and refined by hand. Owners can claim a listing and correct it. If a field is blank, we have not confirmed it, rather than guessed.
Can UniMove store and move my things?
Yes. UniMove collect from your room, store your things over the holidays and bring them back when you return, door to door, across UK university cities on a scheduled day each week. Enter your details in the booking tool to see your collection day and one all-in price before you pay.
