UK students: have you secured university accommodation?

As the beginning of the academic year approaches, we want to speak to students in the UK about their experience securing university accommodation.

Are you about to begin your first year without a place in halls – or did you obtain yours without issue? If you haven’t got accommodation, what do you plan to do? Are you able to commute? Or are you looking for non-university accommodation?

We’re also interested in hearing from those further on in their studies about their housing situation this year. Have you got a place lined up or are you still scrambling?

Are you worried about the cost? Do you have any other concerns?
