🇬🇧 Studying abroad! How to choose accommodation without getting overwhelmed? 😩 Let me share my 3 years of studying experience and guide you on how to choose. [You can do it! 💪]
1. Location: For a lazy person like me, nothing beats minimizing walking distance. So, a house closer to the school is definitely my precious gem. Plus, course schedules in London can be quite scattered, so living too far away is not conducive to studying.
2. Amenities: Many daily necessities that we take for granted back home become rare pandas 🐼 abroad, like washing machines and receiving packages. So, before renting a house, use your brain a bit more! [Thumbs up!]
3. Safety: It's best to choose a wealthy area or one close to it abroad to maximize our safety and ease our mothers' worries. I've summarized some key emergency contacts 🉑 and self-check websites for you. Quickly take note, my friend, it's always good to be prepared.
