If you’re toying with ideas of where to live for the next academic year, or you’re looking ahead to accommodation for your first year at university, then Leicester student studio living should definitely be a consideration.
There are just so many benefits to living in a studio apartment, such as the opportunity to have everything to hand, the chance to live in a better location, because the rent is cheaper and a space that’s all your own for those times when you want to close the door on the rest of the world.
It’s important to take your time when picking the right place, because you want to be sure it will work for you for the following year at least. As such, there are a few things to consider when looking to get your own student studio in Leicester.
Things To Bear In Mind About Student Studio Living
While Leicester student studio flats can often be found in areas such as the heart of the city centre, making them a perfect location for nights out and shopping, it’s always worth thoroughly checking out what will be around you. Ask yourself, is that area safe to walk through at night, is there plenty of security onsite and what are the neighbours like?
One of the potential downsides to Leicester student studio living can be the close proximity to other people, so would this be something you’re happy with? If there are communal areas, are your neighbours-to-be the sort of people you could share a kitchen with? If they’re pretty messy and you’re a clean freak, then perhaps not. If they love loud music and you like peace and quiet, then the same applies (unless the walls are three feet thick).
The last thing you want to feel is unsafe, unhappy or uncomfortable in any type of student accommodation, so rule number one is to get a really good feel for it before you make your decision.
The Practicalities Of Leicester Student Studio Living
On top of checking out the safety and suitability of the location, there’s the practicalities to think of. A lot of Leicester student studio flats are based on campus, or extremely close to it, which makes things highly convenient for lectures, but if the place you’re looking at isn’t close to where you need to be, then find out whether there’s public transport nearby, if you use it, or parking if you need a car.
On top of that, while the rent for a student studio flat may appear really cheap, it’s worth bearing in mind the bigger picture of how much everything will cost, so tot up all the bills (including rent, food and utilities), then make sure you have something left over to enjoy yourself with.
Where To Look For A Leicester Student Studio Apartment
A great tip when looking for Leicester student studio accommodation is to find out if it’s in an area where a lot of students live already. This is a good indicator that it could very well be right for you.
Many Leicester studio flats have been built with students in mind, so they’re likely to come with everything that you’ll need, for example, being close to the shops and fun things to do, while feeling like it’s in a safe area at the same time.
