Renting in the UK Guide
✅ On-campus dormitories
Advantages: Cheap prices
Disadvantages: Outdated facilities, may not be able to choose desired dormitory, and the dormitory may not be in the same campus as your classes!!!
✅ Student apartments
Advantages: Bills included, friendly for newcomers in a foreign country, secure with access control
Disadvantages: Relatively small space; if it's an ensuite, there is uncertainty about roommates (consider finding good roommates as if I didn't mention it)
✅ Private apartments
Advantages: Large space, various room types available (2b2b, 2b1b, etc.), relatively more freedom in coming and going
Disadvantages: Bills not included, expensive deposit
