You don?t have to be stuck in cramped and damp student accommodation when there are lifestyle living options, says Agnes Jumah
So it?s August 2017 and you are looking forward to starting university. There?s a problem, though ? you?ve traipsed around town looking at everything from fleapits to flatshares but still haven?t found your home for your first year. At the back of your mind is the horrible prospect of ending up in a whiffy bedsit with wonky furniture, a threadbare carpet and lit only by a bare lightbulb ? like a scene from 1970s comedy Rising Damp. But it doesn?t have to be that way ? if you research, plan and apply early you can get the home you want.
High quality
That particular cliché of 1970s student digs (probably) no longer exists because these days there are plenty of options, especially in larger towns and cities. One is a private, purpose-built, high-spec building designed with students in mind, with everything you?ll need during your time at university. This is important when you?re leaving home for the first time because it gives the peace of mind you need to begin living independently. One provider of such accommodation is iQ Student Accommodation, which has apartments at 26 locations across the UK. The company aims to provide the best living quarters in secure buildings, all-inclusive bills and first-class amenities.
Whether it?s through a game of table football, a cuppa in the kitchenette or reading in your bedroom, there are plenty of ways to relax
