Moving into your own space is a huge step for any student starting their tertiary education journey. It is always advisable to start your hunt for accommodation as early as possible because thousands of other students will be doing the same.
Whilst the idea of having you own living space is exciting there are certain crucial things students need to consider when looking for accommodation
For example:
- Location – When selecting an accommodation ask yourself these questions – can I walk everywhere? Am I near to both university facilities and the local shops? Is public transport easily accessible from here?
- Safety and Security – it is important to ensure that the accommodation you are selecting is safe and has efficient security measures. it is advisable to check with the accommodation management what security measures are in place when doing room tours or site visits.
- Costs – Before deciding on any accommodation, make sure to check all the costs that are required, whether the rent amount includes the cost of utilities or is it separate ect. Keep in mind that prices vary depending on the location and what facilities and amenities are offered.
