What are the types of renting houses for studying in the UK?

As we all know, Britain, as a big country studying abroad, has always maintained a world-class standard in student accommodation.

Student accommodation is generally divided into three categories:

Accommodation (apartment provided by the school);

Private housing (housing ownership);

Family accommodation

All students are arranged in single rooms to ensure their privacy and independence. General apartments are provided by schools and are divided into self-care and self-care.

Partial meals: students eat in the school cafeteria, including breakfast from Monday to Friday and dinner (lunch or dinner) on weekends.

Self-care: There is no doubt that students can cook in the kitchen by themselves. Kitchen facilities can be shared, but students should bring their own kitchen utensils, pots and pans.

The following is an introduction to the accommodation (apartment) room types, and the specific room types are compared as follows:

* Basic facilities include beds, mattresses, desks, chairs, bookshelves, wardrobes, etc.

2. Suite room

This is another type of single room. There is only one difference between it and the basic room: the room has a separate bathroom and bathroom. Similarly, the suite will also provide facilities such as beds, desks and wardrobes. The kitchen is public. Because there is a separate bathroom, the price of the suite is a little more expensive than the basic room.

3. Studio

It is generally called a single suite or a single apartment, similar to the studio we are talking about now. Studio is a very common room type, with an area ranging from 12 square meter to 30 square meters. The room will provide facilities such as bed, desk, wardrobe, bathroom, bathroom and kitchen. Studio's kitchens are all open kitchens, but there is an area with kitchen equipment as soon as you enter the room. This kind of kitchen is not suitable for cooking such as Chinese cooking. Studio is one of the more expensive types of student apartments, which is more suitable for students who are well-off and like quiet life.

If an apartment has only one room, then this apartment is called 1.

An apartment usually has a public door. After entering, there are many rooms, each with a door, and each room is a suite.

Room, many students enjoy the kitchen and living room. This is similar to the university dormitory in our country, but the room facilities and the number of people staying are different. Many student apartments offer group reservations. If you want to live with friends, you can apply for this apartment together. This apartment is suitable for groups who like to be lively and social.

Privately owned accommodation (private accommodation) includes apartments, houses, boarding, living and bedroom accommodation. The price also varies greatly. Compared with student dormitories, this kind of renting is risky. When there is a dispute between students and landlords, it is difficult for the relevant office of the school to intervene in housing matters.

If you share a room, it will be cheaper than school accommodation, but there will definitely be many people sharing a room. Even if the roommate who just moved in is good, there is no guarantee that there will be substitutions, and there is no guarantee that substitutions will occur. The most important thing is safety. After all, people who share a room will usually find foreign students to share a room together, and there may be many problems that prevent you from studying hard.

Host family provides housing and basic living facilities (mostly local families) for international students in the form of paid services, aiming at improving their living ability in the study countries.

Boarding, as the name implies, means living in a place other than your own home, such as school or other people's homes. Here we refer to living in a foreigner's home; A host family is a family that provides accommodation for foreigners except their own family members; Family boarding is a matter of living in a foreigner's home.

Family boarding has a history of several decades in developed countries. Mainly in order to solve the accommodation conditions, improve the level of foreign languages, promote the understanding of foreign cultures, and better integrate into foreign society, international students live in local families for a short or long time.

Many foreign students in our country also choose this kind of accommodation abroad. Especially in the European and American countries where family boarding originated, family boarding has become commonplace and popular.

In 1970s, with the rapid economic development and the increase of foreign exchanges in some Southeast Asian countries, such as Japan and South Korea, family boarding was widely accepted. (These three paragraphs are from Baidu Encyclopedia)

Students can rent one of the private houses and live with the owner or family. The kitchen is fully equipped and can provide three meals a day. Although this kind of accommodation enables students to be accompanied and supported by others, on the other hand, they will not be able to live completely independently. This will be cheaper than a student apartment.
