alternative accommodation in London.
Resources to help students find suitable
accommodation include:

– an Accommodation Handbook (available
on eGo > Applications) with information
about different types of accommodation,
including private halls and homestay,
lists of useful websites and recommended
estate agents, and information from
student surveys about where students
usually live, what they think of the area,
how much they pay in rent and when
they found their accommodation
