LOVE LIVING WITH HOST? Rebook for September 2025
As providers of student accommodation, we live and breathe accommodation; so we wouldn’t think twice about how to go about finding somewhere to live at university.
However, we know that for students preparing to embark on their university journey, finding accommodation can be another minefield to conquer. There are so many questions to answer and things to consider; when do you start looking for accommodation? How do you go about finding accommodation? What type of room do you need? How long do you need it for?
So, to help you on your accommodation journey, we thought it would be useful to share the experiences of other students with you. Through a series of video interviews with students who have been where you are now, hear first-hand how they came to find their perfect student room.
Learn how Patrice, a second-year student at Plymouth College of Art, found her accommodation, why she chose to live with Host and what advice she has for students applying for university.
Staying in Plymouth, but this time Liane, a first-year student at the University of Plymouth, talks about her journey to finding accommodation and what moving in was like too.
If you’re an international student travelling to the UK to study, you may have even more questions about finding accommodation. In this video, Inês, a third-year student in Sheffield gives insight into her accommodation experience in the UK.
If you’re starting university in September, why not take a look at our accommodation? We have quality, affordable student accommodation in 20 major university cities and towns across the UK and Ireland; so, we’re sure to have a room for you.

Show me all newsWhen it comes to choosing student accommodation in the UK, most people focus on price, amenities, or whether it's en-suite or shared. While these are important factors, one element that can make or break your student life is location and commute time. It's more than just a pin on a map - it's about how your daily life will feel.
It might feel like you’ve got plenty of time before uni starts, but trust us - when it comes to student accommodation, early birds aren’t just getting the worm. They’re getting the best rooms, the best deals, and peace of mind long before the chaos of results day kicks in.Each year, thousands of students scramble to find the perfect place to live - and by the time they get around to it, the most popular rooms are already long gone. So if you’re heading to university this year, here’s why getting your accommodation sorted early might just be the smartest move you’ll make.
