News flash! Applicant days 2023
Applicant days are an essential step in your university journey. They are subject specific days which give you the opportunity to learn more about your chosen university and court.
How do you find student accommodation for university?
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.
