What to look for in halls and accommodation at university 


Liking where you live can make all the difference when it’s your first time moving away from home, so researching the halls and student accommodation situation at a university is worth the effort. Looking into the amenities available and included in your rent is a wise move when starting your search. Not only will you need to think about whether the actual accommodation, whether on campus or outside of it, offers good value for money, you’ll also want to think about where it’s located. Is it near a supermarket? Is it near the university itself? You’ll be living there for up to a year or maybe more, so it’s smart to take the time to look at your options.
