  • I found my accommodation through web browsing. I found my accommodation on the Uniacco website. I didnt use any groups on Discord or Telegram
  • My accommodation rent is £600/month with all bills included and an ensuite bathroom. Its typically a 3-bedroom apartment with a common kitchen and 24/7 reception to help out students.
  • Always use the web on your own to find better accommodations. Because there is a lot of scam happening regarding getting accommodation. So go on your own.
  • My accommodation is very close to my university and it is just a 15-minute walk. Most of the Indians stayed in my accommodation. Its called the Burley Road Accommodation.

  • I secured my lodging based on the recommendation provided by my university's website. Although it is a private student accommodation company known as Unipol, it operates as a non-profit organization, offering student housing that provides excellent value for the cost.
  • I resided in Grayson Heights, which was slightly further from the university; however, the cost-effectiveness outweighed this inconvenience, as there was a conveniently located bus stop nearby. Additionally, the rooms were spacious and situated in a high-rise apartment complex, providing a comfortable living environment.
  • I opted for an executive room, which was priced at £89 per week, resulting in a total cost of approximately £420 for my stay. This room was a private space with shared communal areas, including a kitchen and washroom. It was a five-bedroom apartment with two bathrooms, which was manageable.
  • Fortunately, I encountered pleasant flatmates and enjoyed my time there; however, it is important to note that if one does not find suitable flatmates, the living situation can become challenging. Therefore, it is crucial to establish clear boundaries, house rules, and agreements from the outset to ensure a harmonious living environment.

  • I used Amber Student to get my accommodation, as it was a private one. The university also has their accommodations, but I didn't get the one I liked so I chose to go for a private agency.
  • 174 pounds per week was the rent for me, all bills included. I wouldn't say it was the best accommodation. There were better places with better facilities. But moving was a big task so I chose to stay.
  • I would suggest going for university accommodations or the ones listed on the Unipol website, as they have to follow the norms strictly.
  • My accommodation was a 4-minute walk from my college. Indian students stayed in all different accommodations as they were a lot in number.

  • I found my accommodation from Spareroom website. I did an online viewing and also asked my cousin to visit the place as there are many frauds that happen in Spareroom for money.
  • I lived in an ensuite room on a first floor so my rent was comparatively higher. It was £520 per month for 10 months contract. Then I took summer let in a student accommodation for 3 months as my plan was to stay there till my course end period.
  • I would recommend to go with the student accommodation or university accommodation. No matter how expensive they are in UK. Because the british weather is harsh and normal houses are not very warm and compatible with bills.
  • I lived 500m away from the campus

  • My university has Unipol housing, which I got to know when I emailed the college regarding accommodation. My monthly rent is around £560, which includes electric, water, a kitchen bathroom, and access to the gym during a particular time for her day. It wasn't challenging to find accommodation but my parents and I had a long discussion about which one to choose. My accommodation is like a 15-minute walk to college and 5 minutes from the bus.

I stayed at the University accommodation which was quite nice. I think it costs around 9000 to 9500 GBP (around 650 to 750 GBP a month) for a year now. It was one of the better ones and had amazing facilities. The rooms are ensuite which means the bathroom was inside the room, with a common kitchen and laundry. I shared my flat with five more students. There are other options available from the university. Unipol is a good website for searching for private accommodation. Headingley, Hyde Park, and Burley Park are some student areas where you can find accommodations costing 500 GBP a month or maybe less.

I chose this university as it is one of the top-rated transport studies school in the world with amazing research output and faculty. In transport planning, Leeds Uni is known everywhere. It has a great alumni network as well. The program also had employer presentations, which helped me land a job.
