CHOOSING ACCOMMODATION
UNIVERSITY HALLS OF RESIDENCE
This is a popular option for first-year students and a great way to meet lots of people . Halls are usually very convenient as they are often on or near campus and students are usually expected to pay one monthly payment , including bills .
But if you miss out on a place at university halls , don ’ t panic !
PRIVATE HALLS OF RESIDENCE
Similar to halls run by universities , but owned and run by private companies .
PRIVATE RENTAL ACCOMMODATION
A good option if you have applied late in the year and halls are no longer available . Private accommodation is also great if you like your independence .
LIVING AT HOME
If you are studying locally this could be a very convenient and affordable option .
“ I wanted to go into halls , but there were no places left . My university set up a Facebook group and I met five other girls in the same position . We got on really well , so decided to get a house .”
