Rent depends on where you are in the country – The only real downside of moving out on your own and into student accommodation – you have to start paying for stuff.
Rent is the biggest expense – what you pay for student accommodation depends largely on where you’re studying. The general rule is that rent in the north tends to be cheaper, while London is the most expensive place to be a student – but of course there are always exceptions.
Remember to get a TV licence – Whether you’re in halls or a house, if you have a TV you must pay for your TV licence. The licence is currently £145.50 per year – in halls you will need one each, but in a shared house you only need one between all of you.
Exempt from council tax – As students you are exempt from paying council tax – though try and avoid living with non-students or part-time students as they are not exempt, and asking one person
to pay the entire council tax bill is a little excessive.
Other student accommodation expenses include bills such as gas and electricity.
