How to look for accomodation?

I am a student and I am just overwhelmed about the things of finding a place to live in the UK and job... Can anyone help me over this?

I can as I am looking for someone who is willing to replace me as Tennant. Although, I am unsure what your preferred weekly rent will be.

It can feel overwhelming at first—try starting with student housing services at your university and sites like SpareRoom or Rightmove. For jobs, check Indeed, LinkedIn, or your uni’s career center. Take it step by step, you’re not alone in this!

I would look at the accommodation your university offers (halls of residence) as this is where most students go for their first year to meet other students and get used to the area before looking for somewhere more private in your second and third year.

If you don't like the universities halls of residence, most places also have private accommodation which is a bit more expensive but isn't tied to that exact university, often these have bigger rooms or better facilities as well since they are more expensive.

You could get a flat or house share, a good website to use for the UK is spare room. You can filter the search results as well if you have specific requirements you are looking for.

Social media also had a lot of forums where people discuss housing and get together to rent somewhere. Facebook is very common, your university should have a page and you could post an advert on there.

Hope this helps and best of luck!
