ACCOMMODATION

You need to confirm where university/college is offering you to stay
Is this be university owned or in the private sector?
University usually provide
University Hall (en suite bathrooms are in built)
University Hall (not en suite)
University house or flat
Private house or flat

Is the accommodation is out side the university how far is it from the university?
Is there any bus service if available is it free or not? And if free from where you will get the free card?
Is the place they are offering you is safe and warm or not (this point is very vital for female students coming from Pakistan)
Does place have internet access usually it does but you must have some Place which have internet access
Usually the contract of accommodation is for 6 months so make sure you tell them you are staying in summers even if you are not in case you need it.

Note for female students: For female students it is better to go for university halls its more like our hostel system in Pakistan. University flats or houses are the place where boys and girls live together. Nothing to worry about the places are fully secured the point of mentioning is if you once get the place it’s very tough you can change it than other point is what if you get house mates who love partying? Again the issue is not security it is the noise you can not avoid and will not be able to study properly.
Usually the halls have the facility of laundry in them while if you have houses or flats you need to go the halls to use the washing facilities. This rule is not strict for every place.
