Many British universities have guaranteed that they can provide accommodation for overseas students, especially freshmen, for the first year of school. Generally speaking, there are two kinds: sef- catering and catering. In addition, due to the difference in room prices, schools usually divide rooms into different types. The following three kinds are more popular with students.
Suite This room has a separate bathroom and toilet, but the price of this room is relatively expensive. Generally, the cost of a week is more than 1 10. If students choose to cook by themselves, it is better to share the kitchen with students from other countries on the same floor, which can be relatively cheaper.
Single room There is only one bathroom in this room, so everyone should share the bathroom with students from other countries on the same floor. This room will be much cheaper, about 70-90 pounds a week.
Family accommodation is mainly for students with families. For example, some students are accompanied by students when they are studying for a master's degree, so it is more appropriate to apply for this kind of dormitory. However, the cost of this kind of room is not low, generally more than 160.
British universities usually guarantee accommodation for international students in the first year. When students are admitted, most colleges and universities will send you a set of accommodation materials to introduce all kinds of accommodation provided by the school.
I would like to remind you to apply for a dormitory as soon as possible. Although the school promises all international students to guarantee the dormitory for the first year, if the application is late, the students will not have a wide range of choices and may not be able to live in their own satisfactory dormitory.
British accommodation mode 2: private renting off campus
Most universities will provide a list of private rental houses. Students can call according to the list provided. It is best to go to the scene to see the house together, feel the environment, and consider safety issues and convenient transportation. Some private houses are shared by several students, and some are student houses invested by developers.
Advantages: you can make whatever you like at will; You can choose the rental area at will; You can live with your partner; You can control some expenses.
Disadvantages: often live with people in the same country; Inertia is easy to breed, and sometimes even rice can't be eaten on time; Friends often visit, which hinders study.
UK Accommodation Mode 3: Family Accommodation
Advantages: you can directly experience the cultural life of the British and understand the daily language; You can get to know more British people through British families, such as neighbors; Prevent inertia; Although the cost is higher, it also gets a lot.
Disadvantages: it is a painful thing for British students who are not used to eating English food; The room rate is higher than the cost of renting a house by yourself.
