A guide to student accommodation for
first years

creator Posted by creator in Student Life 1 min read

Our undergraduates advice hub has expert guides on accommodation for undergraduates.

Beginning university is one of the most exciting moments in many young people’s lives. There is so much to look forward to, and lots to think about. One of the biggest concerns for any first-year undergraduate student is accommodation, as this is often their first experience of living away from home.

If you’re starting university and are wondering what your accommodation options are, there’s no need to be nervous—we’re here to help. While a lot of freshers opt for halls of residence, this isn’t the only option and you may find something much more suited to you in private accommodation.

In this guide, we’ll discuss some of the accommodation options available for first-year students and outline some of the things to consider when looking for a place to live in your first year.
