Student accommodation comes in the form of halls of residence, student homes, student flats or student houses, but which is the best?
This completely depends on the university, the conditions of the halls of residence and the student housing in the local area. Some students are luckier than others but there are increasing amounts of landlords taking advantage of the student market and therefore increasing the choice and the standard of student housing. Of course the price and value for money is important factor and again differs depending on university and location.
Halls of residence carry the advantage of allowing students to be close to 100's of other fellow students but there are other 'external student properties' that offer this advantage now including London's Nido building, which has been described as a 'campus-in-a-box'.
Resisdents include students typically from Imperial College, London School of Economics (LSE), University College London (UCL), City University and King?s College. Although they are from different universities the residents still have the 'communal experience' students get on campus and in halls of residence.
For information on halls of residents at your University it is best to see their website or contact them directly and for student housing see Accommodation for Students.
