If you now feel at home in Leicester and have made a good bunch of uni friends, you might have decided that it’s time to move on from your halls of residence and find a privately rented house to live in.
There are lots of good reasons why renting privately as a student is a good move, including the fact that it means you can share your living space with less people, you’re not on the doorstep of your university all the time and you can have only the people you want living there.
When it comes to private student accommodation, Leicester has some lovely places available and the secret is to get in there fast before they get snapped up!
The benefits of Private Student Accommodation
While halls of residence can be comforting when you first go to university and start out living on your own, after a while you might find yourself craving a little more independence and this is one of the great benefits of private student accommodation.
Not only can you ensure that you’re living with friends, but you can also choose the area you live in too. So, depending on what it is that you want nearby – be it sports facilities, great bars, or places to visit – you can make that choice yourself. And, if you’ve already lived in Leicester for a while, there’s a good chance you’ll know the area by now and have an idea of where’s the best place for a student like you to be.
It’s a great opportunity to gain some independence away from the umbrella of the university and will give you a chance to feel like you’re part of the real world. With private rented accommodation, there’s also the possibility that you can have flexibility on the tenancy length and move in pretty quickly too.
