Alright so I was foolish and went with the first uni accommodation that was shown to me on open day. Signed the contract and a while later find out there are much better options. My mistake of course however when I called the university to see if there is an exit fee I can pay to void the contract I am told the only way out is to find a replacement.
This seems very odd to me and I don't really know why this is the only option to switch. If anyone has experience with this I would love some advice or insight. Uni in question is Southampton and accommodation being their own.
