How much do you pay for your accommodation in the private sector? [POLL]

Enjoy repaying your loan you cretin !

This is what happens when some genius decides to build a university in South Kensington

How much would you pay for bills per month? because £360 for rent is a pretty sweet deal. Not having to pay for rent in july and august is also great as well, but don't you have the hassle of moving all your stuff out each year?

I assume you go imperial. Have you considered not living in zone 1?

I think you could probably get a rent price of around £5000 or less in zones 2-3, certainly outer those as well

You assume correctly

I did look into Fullham and Hammersmith, but they weren't that much cheaper I'm afraid. The issue with going further out is the added travel cost (and possible safety issues). I managed to get a 39 week contract as well, so the price isn't too bad for Earls Court.

Oh yeah I forgot about the travel costs, I think an annual zone 1-3 travelcard would cost over £1000

I'm assuming you're from Imperial too then. Whereabouts are you living?

Looking at the poll results, I'm surprised how cheap most people's accommodation is, but then again most of you aren't studying in london or bristol. Do most of you have full 12 month contracts?

I live in Brighton and it's might expensive down here. But I'd still prefer to be here than anywhere else.

Yeah I heard brighton's another expensive place. Seems like the more 'yuppy' a place is, the more expensive it is. How much do you pay by the way?

This year is £82 a week but next year is £95 a week. But next year's house is much nicer.

£95 a week, not inclusive of bills?
