Second year housing

As I have applied for a second year transfer at another university, I am struggling to find a replacement for the upcoming housing year 2025/26 and wondered if there was another way that I could advertise around or find soon to be or current students that would be interested.

If you're looking for help you probably need to state the university or town to which you are moving.

Couple of tips:

1.

Contact your new university accommodation department and ask for a list of providers and ask to go on the waiting list for uni halls.

2.

Check if there are any Facebook groups for accommodation for the university as there will be postings on there.

3.

If you had accommodation at the old university, see if the provider has a place in your new location and seen if you can transfer your contract (Downing students, Sanctuary, IQ, Scape etc.) as they have locations around the country.

4.

Spareroom.com or Rightmove.co.uk are also options.
