can you live with a student as a non student?

There’s 3 of us going to bristol, only 1 of us will be in uni, should we do private student housing or rent a normal apartment? I know you can do university accom as a non student, but can you do it in private student accoms? has anyone done this?

Most private halls won’t allow this due to council tax rules.
If you share a house then the non student will be liable for the entire council tax bill for the property (albeit with “single person discount” of 25% because students are exempt).
