Most people seem to wait til after exams.

Also, a word of warning...

...during exams, don't go knocking on random doors. There's nothing more likely to get you a smack in the face than disturbing a 3rd Years revision! :wink:

Well we've had quite a few people coming round to our house to have a look at the place already. We waited till after exams last year though and it wasn't too difficult getting a place, you just have to realise that if you like the place chances are someone else will too and it can get snapped up before you know it. I'm not saying you ought to rush into sticking with the first house you kinda fancy but once you are sure about a house, don't faff around with getting a deposit down.

Not started househunting yet because I don't know who I'm living with! One of my best friends on my course wants me to live with her and these two other girls who I don't know that well, and she thinks it's all sorted out and everything (I did kinda give the impression I would live with her because I thought my other friend might drop out but she hasn't) :redface:

but I want to live with a different group of people and, urgh, I don't want to piss my other friend off! What to do, what to do... :frown:

i lived there and it was a scumhole - odd, because when we looked around we fell in love with it. We couldnt move in for a week because it was so dirty they had to get cleaners in....and then tried to charge us....the landlords are money grabbing gimps.

Most people seem to think its better to wait till feb/march time cos at the moment houses are more expensive and later on as more come on the market it gets cheaper. But iv not spoke to anyone from halls who has started even looking.

To be honest I can't see housing being cheaper or more convenient than staying on campus so may think I will do. Only problem is that I that I have to tell the people I was going to move in with that I'm not going to be doing so anymore. aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhh (damn it!)
