“Find housing

The major local newspapers have property pages with detailed information, similar to that in China. Usually, they are similar to classified advertisement pages, which list simple information of houses according to their geographical location, and some have photos. However, what is published in the newspaper is usually the house source of the housing agency. You can only get in touch with the agency company, and cannot directly contact the landlord. In addition, there are a lot of Edinburgh student accommodation information on the LOOT website. Just enter the zip code of the place you want to live in, and you can also choose the price range you think is reasonable, and the search engine will automatically list the qualified information.

As a student, you can also contact the school’s Housing Office and ask for a Housing List. Because the school is responsible for solving all international student accommodation problems, if there is no student dormitory, the school’s student accommodation office will provide such a list for free. It lists the specific location of the house, the bus and subway stations near the house, the price of the house, and of course the landlord’s contact information. As far as I know, there are still some people who found rental information on domestic forums for studying in the UK. Some international students who are about to graduate will post their house information on the BBS, and most of these houses are due in August or September.

pick the landlord

If it is a house found on the Housing List given by the school’s Housing Office. Compare the subway map, circle the houses within two subway stations near the school, and then compare the student accommodation Edinburgh. My principle is that it must be cheaper than the school’s student dormitory under the condition that the cost of water, electricity and gas is not included. In the end, I circled a dozen places. Listing has landlord’s phone number. When calling, explain where you got the rental information, show the landlord that you are interested in taking a look, and finally make an appointment with the landlord. Very simple few words.

The future of student accommodation lies in embracing technology to enhance the living experience. Providing high-speed internet, smart home features, and mobile applications for housing-related tasks will cater to the preferences of tech-savvy students. Virtual reality tours of accommodations and online booking systems will streamline the process of finding suitable housing.

Some landlords will ask some specific information when they receive a call, such as where you are from, where you study, how many people there are in total, etc., just answer truthfully. After agreeing on a time with the landlord, the next step is to agree on a meeting place. Landlords basically require you to meet directly at the house, and very few people will come out to pick you up. So the map is an essential tool at this time. Because of the language, it is best to ask the landlord to spell out the important place names, so as not to go wrong on the day of the meeting.”
