Accommodation Arrangements

Generally, there are several types of housing for adult international students in the UK.

School Dormitories

School dormitories also come in various types, such as single rooms with attached bathrooms, single rooms without bathrooms, and more. Generally, school dormitories are relatively more expensive compared to renting outside accommodations. For example, when Ten Liang Miao first moved into the school dormitory, it was a shared housing arrangement with several people, sharing the kitchen, living room, and bathroom. The price was over 600 pounds per month. However, outside accommodations may offer individual rooms with private bathrooms at a similar or slightly lower price. Speaking of safety, some school dormitories are built by the school itself, while others are operated in collaboration with private companies. Some are located right next to the school, while others are quite far away. Safety also depends on probabilities.

Student Apartments

Student apartments are relatively more expensive. They offer single rooms, single rooms with attached bathrooms, single rooms with attached bathrooms and kitchens, and so on. These are commonly known as international student apartments. The prices vary, and there are pros and cons. For example, the advantages include some apartments having been in operation for many years with access control systems and surveillance cameras. They may also provide shared facilities like gyms and recreational activities. The disadvantages include relatively smaller room spaces and instances where multiple people throw shoes and other items into the shared laundry machines. There have been cases where staff members entered rooms without students' consent while they were absent and took valuable belongings. Reporting to the police afterward may not be of much use, and there have been incidents of surveillance cameras suddenly malfunctioning or not capturing evidence. It all depends on the conscience and responsibility of the student apartment owners and staff.

Renting Outside Accommodations

Renting outside accommodations usually involves renting apartments and villas, which are relatively cheaper. However, one needs to be careful of scammers as there are many of them. Some agents can be quite deceptive as well, so it's advisable to check ratings and reviews on Google in advance. In some cases, universities have their own rental agents, which may be relatively more reliable. It is recommended to research the crime rate in the area before deciding to rent a house. Our website directory has a guide specifically on how to check the crime rate.

It is recommended to make arrangements for accommodation in the UK or temporary accommodation in advance from China and prepare necessary documents such as reporting time, accommodation address or contract, and payment proof.
