Look at private providers such as Unite Students, Fresh Student Living etc. and compare prices.

Ultimately, private rental + sharing with others will probably end up cheaper than university halls. With halls, you pay for not having to deal with scummy landlords, security, and proximity to the university.

It can be. and is dependent on what halls you apply for. In halls one doesn't need to worry about electricity, gas etc as it's all paid for by the university. Though if you rent privately the initial rent will be cheaper, but you would have to provide for the gas, electrictiy, wifi etc. So I think as a whole depending on what halls you apply for, you're going to be looking at roughly the same price.
