accommodation
Most people associate University with Halls of Residence,
However there are other options for you if you don't wish to live in
University managed halls.
1. You can rent a room, flat or house from a private landlord and live
with other students.
Or
2. You can rent a room in a privately-run hall of residence, where
students from other universities and colleges live together.
Whatever accommodation you decide its essential that you view it
before you accept.
