Coventry recently made it into the Top 40, and no, we’re not talking about the top 40 music charts! Ranked 39th in the QS Best Student Cities 2017 and listed in the top 5 for UK cities, Coventry is a student city well worth visiting and considering if you’re thinking about studying at university.
When heading off to university, the time comes when we’re all excited to move out of our family home and into our student accommodation for the year. We say bye to our houses for the first time and also to our parents and family (although we do go back to see them a lot). And while it might seem daunting, it’s time to start your adventure as a university student.
Feel like there’s so much to do and so little time? We’ve all been there. But as you plough through the never-ending revision and exams in your final term of university, it’s important to remain focused. In doing so, you’ll gain the grades you’ve worked hard for and achieve what you set out to.
At Host, we’re not only passionate about providing you with a place to call home during term time, but also your holidays too. Did you know that we provide accommodation during the summer months?
Cardiff; the capital of Wales and a city with an endless list of things to do. And if you’ve chosen Cardiff as your home while you study, you’ll easily come across bars, restaurants and shops to fill your days. But if you’re not a local, it’s easy to miss some of the gems available in this vibrant city.
The Easter holidays are finally here! Even if you don’t celebrate Easter, we’re sure that you’re excited at the prospect of not going to lectures for a few weeks. But there’s still have the burden of revising for those unavoidable upcoming exams (boo)!
With St. Patrick’s Day fast-approaching, it’s time to get organised and start planning how you’re going to celebrate. A trip to Ireland for the weekend to embrace the Irish spirit and soak up the atmosphere would be amazing, but it might not be possible. So, if you can’t travel to Ireland, why not bring Ireland to where you are? Get together with your friends and flatmates for an Irish-themed evening of fun and celebrations.
At some of our student accommodation you’ll find an onsite gym where you can build up a sweat on the treadmill or tone up at the weights station. But for those who don’t have access to a gym – or perhaps the gym isn’t your thing, then how about some simple exercises and activities you can do every day to burn a few calories? Here are our top picks…
If you’re a new student in the city of Leeds – or perhaps you’ll be calling it home later this year when you start university, you’re probably wondering what it’s like. Between lectures, coursework and reading, you’re sure to have some spare time to enjoy and explore the city. And when you do, here are some of our favourite things to do:
So you’re going to university or college? Awesome. You’re probably still deciding what you’re going to study and whether you’re going to become a doctor, artist or even an astronaut. But another pretty big decision you’ll need to make is picking somewhere to live. With so many options out there, how do you decide? Here are some pretty good reasons to say ‘that’s the place’ with Host…
