Tips on how to find the perfect student Residence

Student accommodation is an important factor to consider along with your child's tertiary education. Few things are as stressful for parents as setting their child up for tertiary education. One of the top items on that to-do list is finding accommodation once they’ve been accepted for the following year’s study at an institution far from home.

“The student lifestyle is multi-faceted and accommodation should offer all the facilities that students need. For many, this would be their first experience of living away from home.

Here are some tips to make it easier to identify the best location:

All above board : 

If you are engaging with a student accommodation landlord, check that they are recommended by the institution you’re engaging with. This way you can be sure that rentals are fair, the accommodation is suitable and that you are dealing with a reputable landlord.

Safety and security : 

Students should feel as safe in their accommodation as they do when they’re at home – so check that the facility you’re considering has suitable security, both to protect the student’s belongings and to protect the student.

Pricing versus value : 

Shop around for the best deal to make sure you have considered all the potential costs involved.
