Looking for accommodation? Here are 10 important points to keep in mind when searching for accommodation now or in the future!

1. Manage expectations and be patient, you may not get your first preference, however, there will always be options.

2. Stay proactive and persistent, it will take time and effort to find accommodation, so the sooner you start your search the better.

3. Keep in mind - the demand for student accommodation is incredibly high at the moment, and there are very limited places and options at this time.

4. Ring landlords if this option is given instead of emailing as they will have their inboxes full of similar queries.

5. Begin your accommodation search as soon as possible for the next year. Many complexes open applications as early as December-January.

6. If possible, know your budget well in advance and narrow down your options depending on this.

7. Have a back-up plan: the outcome of the Campus Accommodation lottery is unpredictable, so have a back-up accommodation well in advance within your price range incase you are not successful in the lottery.

8. Keep your mind open to all accommodation options, such as private complexes, private rentals, digs and owner-occupied houses.

9. Try to connect with other students in shared accommodation, you will end up spending lots of time together, and this may ease the transition of living away from home.

10. Always view a place either in person or through a video call with the landlord before handing over any money!
