Can prospective students rent student accomodation? ( at a different uni )

I am a prospective student holding offers from my universities, I've been accepted for student finance so all I would need to do to go to university is get the grades and my offer accepted.

Would this be enough for me to rent student accomodation that is being sublet as it is generally cheaper and I feel more comfortable around people my age, as only students generally can rent student accomodation that is being sublet.

Thanks in advance

Hi there,
You will be able to apply for accommodation but I would recommend checking the cancellation policy of the accommodation you apply for. If you do not end up attending the university you have applied for, you would need to make sure the cancellation policy allows you to cancel if you are no longer a student at that university/in that city. Otherwise, you would likely be expected to find a replacement tenant.

Hey thanks for replying.

I meant more as in renting student accommodation just over this summer until like the end of july/August, and probably not at the university I would be going to, it's not where I would be staying while I'm studying, it's just general accomodation over the summer.
