House/flat Share
Many universities offer a housing arrangement whereby the student can rent out a room from a private landlord, with the liaison between the two parties tackled by the university. This accommodation option offers the more independent feel that many university students crave, with the simultaneous safety net of university-led contact between student and landlord.
Such an arrangement is the customary choice of university students, more so amongst second-year students, as many live out their first year in Halls before transitioning into this arrangement. Adjusting into a University-liaised house-share after a year in Halls can make a smoother transition for the younger student, however if you are not given the opportunity to live in Halls, or choose not to, the fact of sharing with a group of other university students can be just as much of a comfort.
Private sector halls of residence
Brought about by the huge demand for accommodation for university students, private sector halls of residence are a relatively new attachment to the plethora of lodging options for students. Private halls tend to be based on the same principles as those of University-owned halls of residence – communal areas, shared bathrooms etc. – except they are not limited to students from specific universities.
Private Flat/House
A small portion of students choose to rent out an entire flat for themselves. Students who opt to rent out a private flat/house may seek a lifestyle of more privacy and independence, or may have suffered negative experiences through having shared a house or flat with other students.
Despite the upsides of living alone, the main deal-breaker is the often extortionate prices associated with renting out a private flat; such accommodation often turns out to be the most expensive option for students.
