University Accommodation
This type of accommodation is owned, managed, and maintained by the universities in what they call halls of residence, ideal for first-year applicants, who usually have priority enabling them to settle into the community. Students will have a private room, while spaces such as kitchen and lounge area will be shared in an apartment of anything between 4-8 students. All bills, including wi-fi, are included in your rent.
Private halls accommodation is similar but owned by private companies and can be more expensive.
Private Renting
Renting privately from landlords is a good choice if you want more independence, although finding landlords, can sometimes be challenging. Students tend to share a house, having a bedroom with/without an ensuite bathroom to themselves and again sharing the kitchen and lounge areas. Tenants are responsible to pay all the bills for the property separately.
Host family
Host families are carefully selected and monitored by student feedback. A host family can be an individual, a couple, either retired or with children at home, who opens their home to an international student studying in the UK. Host families are genuinely interested in offering a home-from-home experience and a great way to improve your English language. All bills, including wi-fi, are included in your rent.
With all types of accommodation, bedrooms may be with or without their own bathroom. Deposits or payment upfront may be required, I will be transparent in what is requested by the accommodation provider. Accommodation is generally for 12 months, however attaining shorter terms are possible.
