Comparison between off-campus apartments and on-campus apartments for studying in Britain

In recent years, there are more and more students studying in the UK, and there are many ways to stay in the UK. So, is it better to study in Britain or live in an off-campus apartment? Next, I will bring you a comparison between an off-campus apartment and an on-campus apartment for studying in the UK.

First, the similarities and differences between the two

1, same point

1) is only rented to students, and the environment is relatively simple. With government subsidies, security is relatively guaranteed.

2) A unified official makes life convenient. Water and electricity are cut off, the network is cut off, and the toilet is blocked. You can call the property to repair it, which is very convenient for friends studying abroad.

3) The student apartment has security system and access control 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can enter whenever you want, not whenever you want.

2. Difference

Off-campus student apartment is a new form in recent years, which changes students' passive renting into active renting. On-campus student apartment (school dormitory) is your voluntary choice, and you can't control who you live with, while off-campus student apartment is your own choice, even the orientation, price, facilities and other needs of the house can be chosen.

Second, the matters needing attention in overseas students' apartments

1, don't pay the full amount before the visa comes down, just pay the deposit. Although the risk of visa is very low at present, the avoidable risks should be avoided as much as possible.

2. This year, the rental prices in some cities such as Manda, Guerra and Liverpool fluctuated, so be sure to ask the price clearly when signing the contract.

3. After booking the apartment for international students, some students took a fancy to another apartment and wanted to change rooms. When changing rooms, they must greet the original landlord before they can move in. According to the contract, even if you don't move in, the price will be charged according to the original payment when the contract comes into effect. If you don't pay the full amount, your credit in Britain may be affected.

Be sure to take the original photo when you check in, otherwise it will be difficult to get the deposit when you check out. There are many examples of being cheated, and some students don't pay attention to it. When you check out, the unfriendly student apartment does not refund your deposit in the name of damaging room facilities, which is sad. If only you had taken a good photo when you checked in.

5, the price should be comprehensively compared. Although renting a house outside is very cheap, it does not include utilities. There are many levels of student apartment prices, some are lower than schools, some are higher than schools, and some are several times higher than schools. Choose a house according to your needs.

In addition, the peak of apartment selection for international students is in April-May, and it is difficult to choose what you like later, so friends can start booking.
