During your stay in the UK, you will have many accommodation options available to you. Your choice will largely depend  on whether your college or university has dormitories, what city you're in, and what your monthly budget is. Various options include dormitories, independent housing, apartments/houses.

Flats/ Houses 

Apartment/House Usually, students live in dormitories during their first year because it makes it easier for them to adjust to school life  and helps them make friends. During their second and third years, some students choose to move to a house or apartment unrelated to the school. If you  move into an apartment or house, you will need to sign a lease, which is a legal document that describes the terms of your stay. Make sure you  understand the terms and issues of the contract and if you  have any doubts, speak to your international student advisor who will be able to help you. An apartment or house is probably the most expensive option and you may have difficulty finding housing close to campus. However, many students enjoy the freedom to live where they want, live with who they want, and choose the type of place they want to live. With dorms, you don't have that flexibility.

Halls of Residence

Halls are a great way to meet new people. They are large buildings, sometimes divided into flats where you will have either a single room or share with another student. Your room is likely to be basic, and if it does not have an en-suite bathroom, communal ones will be provided. Halls provide standard furniture such as a bed, desk, and chair. Anything more is supplied by the student. Most halls of residence have a canteen with food for students (usually at a fixed cost). As an international student the food may be unfamiliar, but eating at the canteen would be good way to immerse yourself in the culture of the UK. Halls are either single or co-ed, so if you have a preference for either you will need to inform your university from the beginning when choosing where to live.

Self-Catered Halls

Many international students prefer the self-catered option because it allows them the freedom to cook their own food and on their schedule. Self-catered halls are similar to standard halls of residence, but there includes a communal kitchen available to hall residents. These kitchens so frequently used by students do have a reputation for becoming unsightly when not kept up, so try to do your share in cleaning behind yourself and encouraging the same of others.
