Costs, contracts, and how to avoid deposit scams as an international student.
Earthlink Editorial • 18 February 2026 • 1 min read
University halls: safest first-year choice, £150–£350/week including bills. Private PBSA (Unite, iQ, Chapter): £180–£450/week.
Private house-share: cheapest at £400–£800/month plus bills, but requires a UK guarantor or six months' rent upfront.
