Leicester Uni 2016/17 postgraduate accommodation

I am studying Secondary Geography PGCE at Leicester Uni next year, and I am looking for people to share accommodation with. I am just finishing my undergraduate at Leicester, and therefore know the city very well and can look round any houses!
Give me a shout if you are interested!

Hey!
Where are you studying at the moment? Glad i'm not the only one! It all feels very last minute, that's why I wanted to see if anyone else was in the same boat

I Graduated last year, from University of Hull. I volunteered for three months in Ghana until December. So I am very, very last minute.
Where have you been looking at for accommodation?

Wow that sounds cool!
I have had a look on a few websites and there are lots of houses/flats still available! The best location in Leicester would be Clarendon Park I think, which is near to where I am living now. Hard to look though when I don't know how many bedrooms I will need!

Sulets is good, there are still loads of houses on there, most of which are 3/4 bedrooms in the Clarendon Park area :smile:

You should try CODE and UNITE as well. I think they're quite common for masters students and some undergraduates. I suppose that they're 'hallsy' but less noisy than actual student halls because it's mostly 3rd years and postgrads.

I've been looking at Regents Court, which is run by Sulets, and it looks pretty good. It is a bit 'hallsy' but the majority are 3rd years/postgrads and it is only £89 per week all inclusive.

Here is a link :smile:

Thanks, I'd appreciate that. I was talking to Sulets, Regents Court. They reckon go with the 4 bedroom, much more spacious and bright than the 5/6 bed. For an extra 6 pound per week it may be worth it !

I too am an international student in the MSc Clinical Crim program and I am looking for accommodations off campus, away from the noise and not shared.
