Securing your place at University is an achievement in itself; all of your hard work paid off during college and you’re about to set off to study something you’re (hopefully) passionate about. But even if you’re enjoying your course, you may not be in love with where you’re staying. Pads for Students want to make searching for your student accommodation simple and easy enough to help you find your perfect pad.
Types of Accommodation
First years are usually offered student accommodation by University run properties. There are other options available for you though, whether you’re first, second, third or fourth year. There are plenty of student houses, private halls and flats for rent, that offer great accommodation for students all over the UK.
Private Accommodation
Having the same benefits of University run halls of residence (inclusive bills & social opportunities), private student accommodation may seem more attractive as they are usually recently developed with new facilities and furniture. Studios and self contained flats are also available; which is great for those who can only deal with a certain amount of socialising. They can be more expensive than other options too but are going to be as close, if not closer to campus than other rental properties for students.
Student Houses/Flats
Whether owned by parents of students or a private landlord, UK student houses and flats for rent carry a lot of negative connotations of dirtiness and dilapidated. And while there are bound to be a few cases of such, most houses are more than acceptable and can be often found in clusters on the same streets; providing a community feel like halls, but with more independence and privacy.
Short Term
For those who are looking for short term accommodation whilst studying at university, hostels are a great budget choice for many; including international students or those with specific religious or personal needs-such as being a student with a family or a post graduate.
Once you know which type of student accommodation you’re hoping to get, get browsing on PadsforStudents.co.uk for an up to date database of accommodation for students nationwide. Start by selecting which type of accommodation you want and then refine your results after searching using City, University or postcode by adjusting things such as proximity to your initial search (the map to the side of each property has handy pins for the property & university campuses close by!). Setting a budget range can help reign in your options and omits any pad that is unaffordable or less than what you were planning to spend.
Still struggling to find that perfect pad? Head over to the Housemate section of our site, where you may just find a student advertising something that suits your needs! Putting an advert up yourself may help you secure your ideal accommodation and with our heavily active social media streams, we can help push your request out to thousands of students and landlords who have just that.
