somewhere for yourself, then you can make arrangements to
rent privately – you’ll find a wide choice of
accommodation available and it won’t cost you an arm and a
leg.

this to what you pay in Halls, remember that you need to
add the full range of household bills to these basic
prices.

been inspected by the University, local Council or
Students' Union and will have up to date gas and
electrical safety certificates.
