justwise: Not exactly sir, who wouldn't want to save some reasonable cash. I tried using the studentpad of my school to search for off-campus accommodation but the amount I was seeing was still expensive, I think the least I saw for a decent(not fantastic but just OK) shared flat of 5 occupants was £90/week, some including utilities some not including. I also tried other sites like rightmove.co.uk and a few others but what I saw was similar. If you could direct me to another website where I could get something cheaper I would be extremely grateful, I don't mind breaking my contract by December when my school allows it. |

HudsonBanks: Try gumtree and select private landlord |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by spikesC(m): 1:04pm On Aug 24, 2014 |
HudsonBanks: Those would still be costly because they tend to make their prices a little bit cheaper than the uni's |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by HudsonBanks(m): 1:22pm On Aug 24, 2014 |
justwise: Okay thank you, just tried as you suggested and here is my findings; Only 5 recent postings(i.e within the last two months) and the best out of all 5 is a single room for £90/week including utilities, same flat has a double room for £130/week and its a flat of 4. Guess I'm just unlucky with the town my uni is located. I'll do some house hunting still when I get there & will hopefully find something reasonable. |

spikesC: Yea I figured. Even Gumtree isn't favourable for my uni town |

HudsonBanks: Please my oga's here any idea about how much i can get studio flat in Birmingham city centre because privacy na the koko oh |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by justwise(m): 6:17pm On Aug 24, 2014 |
HudsonBanks: Where is your uni? If you don't mind me asking. |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by worry359(m): 6:43pm On Aug 24, 2014 |
Bambamzzzz:British people tend NOT to live in the city centre. Also Birmingham is huge. The GOOD NEWS is that there is a very good bus service along all of the main roads. (Not Ocadas! ) Proper busses tht have fixed routs! Some areas are white folk, many are Indian, Pakistan (as black you should avoid these) Some Muslim areas. Some afro-caribean areas (lots of drugs and naughty ladies!) Tell us which University and college (part of uni.) then we might advise. |

justwise: lol.. if you call £85 a week daylight robbery, what will you call £530 a month which is what i am going to be paying at Oxford |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by chivitech: 9:07pm On Aug 24, 2014 |
HudsonBanks: I feel you bro. Mine is even worse. its £530/month and it is not even ensuite. All the ensuite were gone before I applied for accommodation |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by HudsonBanks(m): 9:38pm On Aug 24, 2014 |
chivitech: Ahh you see! Same South east England . Mine is £510/month but yours that isn't ensuite is horribly expensive my good gracious! If you can cancel your contract early I suggest you also find off-campus housing once you are on ground. |

Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by justwise(m): 1:00am On Aug 25, 2014 |
HudsonBanks: Posh area and the uni ranking increases the rent price for students but pay for one semester and when you get there and get to know the city you will find cheaper accommodations. 2 Likes |

Bambamzzzz: You have a lot to look at here http://www.gumtree.com/flatshare/birmingham |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by worry359(m): 9:46am On Aug 25, 2014 |
Bambamzzzz:Your school is just outsite the main city centre (10 minutes walk) Below are some bus maps to help you see where you can look for accomodation. Aston area is good for students but many are at another university. Lots of cheaper housing on bus routes but most will only advertise locally. You may need to book hotel while you look for somwhere suitable. Many, many shops selling african and indian supplies nearby. http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/bustravel http://www.networkwestmidlands.com/nmsruntime/saveasdialog.aspx?lID=1734&sID=97 On this one your school in in square D7, you need to be looking at places outside the centre for accomodation. |
