Housing

I am starting a masters in Dietetics at BCU in September and am trying to sort out somewhere to live before I go off travelling on October 31st. I have looked on right move but the properties seem to only be advertised just before they become available and I need to sort something fairly soon. I was therefore wondering if anyone had managed to secure accommodation and had a room available from January? However I would be open to paying rent for a couple of months before if needed. I am looking to live with other post grad students. Look forward to any feedback. Sophie
