I’m in the same boat, the uni accommodation provided is so expensive, when looking I’ve seen that the private accommodation seems to be cheaper and better value for money. The St Luke’s view accommodation seemed to be a similar distance to the true students accommodation when I went to look around last week and I think that the true students one seemed more isolated than the St Luke’s view. Also the Kaplan one seems to be quite close to all uni buildings, but that one was more expensive than other private ones I had seen.
