2. Matters needing attention in applying for an interview in the UK
First, the content of the interview for studying in the UK
First, a more formal interview. Usually, this type of interview lasts from 30 minutes to 1 hour and is presided over by one (in a few cases, more than one) teacher. The content usually depends on the major you apply for, such as English major, the teacher may discuss a poem with you, and the math major may ask for the equation in the interview;
The second is a question-and-answer interview, which is more casual. In some cases, this type of interview may also be an opportunity for students applying to know their major and ask questions before the university has decided to accept them. Students who want to send an admission notice through the interview should not be admitted;
The third is the English test (in most cases, it will be part of the first one). The goal is that some universities hope to take this opportunity to test whether the applicant's English level can meet the university's expected communication, answering and academic expression ability.
Second, the matters needing attention in the UK study interview
When interviewing, you should take the initiative and don't be led by the interviewer. You should have a clear understanding of the interview and know how to deal with the interviewer's various questions. When the interviewer asks you, you can also ask him for some supporting materials about related schools and majors. You should know that the interview is two-sided, so that the school can understand you and you should know more about the school.
Wear formal clothes during the interview, especially for some students who interviewed by video. Don't wear too much clothes during the video interview. The admissions officer will think that you don't pay attention to this interview and leave a bad impression.
During the interview, you should let the admissions officer feel your enthusiasm and excitement for studying this major, understand your major and have a general study plan. During the interview, you should pay attention to clearly knowing every question asked by the admissions officer, and then organize the answers, try to show your own characteristics and impress the admissions officer.

4. Guide to Accommodation Arrangements for Studying in the UK
I. Host families
At first, it was a form of guardianship for underage students, but now it has developed into a more common accommodation option. Students of all ages can submit their own accommodation applications through schools or institutions.
The family will provide accommodation for students, there will be catering services to choose from, or everyone can apply to use the kitchen to cook for themselves. If they can get along well, they will have the opportunity to participate in family gatherings and social activities, which is very beneficial to everyone's adaptation.
But there will also be some troubles, because foreign students, as outsiders, can only adapt to the rules within the family. At this time, we should actively communicate and ensure that our opinions can be directly conveyed and we will get along more friendly.
Second, the school dormitory
Dormitory will be the first choice for freshmen, and everyone's application will be given priority. Basically, as long as you receive the offer confirmation, you can formally apply, and there is a great possibility of success. Everyone can check in smoothly.
Dormitories are generally double rooms and multiple rooms, some need to share bedrooms, some will have separate bedrooms, but generally need to use bathrooms. While they can have a good relationship, they also lose some privacy, but on the whole, there are still many benefits.
Third, renting a house off campus.
Because living on campus does not have much advantage compared with renting a house, it may even be more expensive, so most students will choose to move out after their freshman year. The difference is whether to rent alone or share with others.
Looking for a house must be obtained from a reliable platform. Schools and friends are very good introductions. You can also go to a professional rental agency to get effective information. If you have money, you can find a more suitable house. Of course, we can also consider sharing.
The advantage of renting a house is that there will be a relatively private personal space. Even if you share a room with others, you will have your own bedroom, and the kitchen is the standard for renting a house. You can cook for yourself and save money.
