Why Book Accommodation Early

The UK is one of the world’s most popular destinations to study higher education. With more than 500,000 international students enrolling each year, the best accommodation gets booked up extremely fast.

So, starting the search early can takes the stress out of finding accommodation. Most providers offer a wide range of choice available pre-Christmas as bookings can peak in January. Doing your research now and making a booking before the New Year, means you can pick the best room available.

At university, you have a million things on your plate. Meeting deadlines, preparing for presentations, revising in the library, and that is not to mention the socialising. Organising your accommodation can slip way down your priorities, and leave you stressed out with it looming over you for months.
