hello everyone and welcome to the channel so this video is going to be a proper accommodation guide
for any of the new students who are trying to study in the uk here i'll be talking about what
are the different accommodations available for a student what does it mean by a private student
accommodation what does it mean by university accommodation how you can find this student
accommodations and how you can find a house for yourself in order to rent so in this video
i'll be essentially going to a specific website and i'll be showing you how you can essentially
book an accommodation for you yourself so without further ado let's straight away get started with
this video right now i'm just on my computer screen i've just written down university of
strathclyde accommodation if you have applied for a different university you can just write
university of x like university of birmingham whatever university of glasgow essentially
and just ended up with an accommodation and essentially on the very first link in this case
it's the accommodation university of strathclyde just click that link and it will be just taking
you to the accommodation portal the accommodations which are available in their specific university
now sometimes there's a distinction in the accommodation between the undergraduate
students versus postgraduate students let's say there's a university they've got four different
buildings for student accommodations the two buildings will be dedicated for undergraduate
students and the two buildings will be dedicated for postgraduate students so there will be
this kind of distinction uh depending upon the university if applied for so i've just selected
accommodation for undergraduate students and you can see that they offer three different types
of room which is a standard room you just get a single room and the other one is the standard room
with wash hand basin and other one is a standard in sweat room which which is a single room but
just called your private bathroom also so you can see that the rent really differs depending
upon the room you select for example it's one to four pounds per week for a standard room
for the another one it's 110 pounds per week for this one it's 141 pound per week in my opinion
i would say you especially in glasgow since i'm staying in glasgow my personal opinion would be
110 pounds per week is a decent rent if you're looking for an accommodation in glasgow itself so
this was all about the university accommodations these are privately owned and in order to apply
just click on this apply now button and you'll be able to register yourself for a specific room
essentially so this is how you kind of book an accommodation which is owned by the university
so now in the second part i will talk about how you can book a private accommodation for
yourself now essentially uh like before in 2018 when i came that time you used to search for an
accommodation let's say university of strathclyde private competition close to it try to use to
go to google and do the specific search whereas now there's a platform called amber students
which has really made life simpler for the students essentially there's a link mentioned
in the description box below and this is the way i will myself preferred in order to book a
uh accommodation because right now i'm staying in private accommodation i'm not staying in a
university accommodation and okay i'll make it clear because university accommodation
my personal experience is the rooms are very small in the university accommodation
even the ceiling height isn't really decent in this one you can do a big decent ceiling size
there's a big spacious room and essentially the rent for this room is 110 pounds per week
but i also get a privately owned washroom whereas in the university combination i had to pay
141 pound per week which is expensive so the private accommodations are generally more cheaper
with more better facilities and secondly uh in my experience in the uni university commemoration
which i personally stayed it had the living room and the kitchen in the same place and that was
very very congested whereas here the living room and the kitchens are really really spacious and it
can you know kind of uh for example we have four people who are staying sharing we can comfortably
manage ourselves we can distribute like okay this company is for you this company is for you
there's uh fresh spaces for you and sacramento so i definitely recommend private accommodation
so in order to find a private accommodation as you can see on your screen i'm on the
i'm on the website of amber students essentially click on my link in the description box below
you'll be able to get to this accommodation and it is just a marketplace essentially for
you okay they have put all the accommodations for you in one specific place so here let's
say i'm looking for an accommodation in glasgow okay i just put glasgow over here
and i can just see okay this black fails available this hawana house available
there's like a lot of accommodations which are available so as you can see like this
is accommodation which is kind of really cheap which is 112 pound per week and if you remember
in the university we got an accommodation which was 110 pound per week which gave us
hand wash basin now let's have a look on this one i'll explain you what's the magic so now this
accommodation which is just 112 pound per week i mean most of it is sold out so i mean because
i'm recording this video in the month of uh may if i can remember correctly yes it's me and and you
know the main thing about private accommodation is make sure you book them as soon as possible but
i mean if you have booked this accommodation on time for 100 pound per week you'll be also getting
your privately owned washroom this is a room which i'm personally staying in right now at the moment
which is in my university accommodation i was being charged the same price but i was
not getting the private com a private bathroom for private bathroom i had to pay 140 pound per peak
so you can see what i talked just in action over here so this was just an example of one private
accommodation which has been sold out for example you cannot book it for 50 one week or 33 week
so because you know this is one of the cheapest accommodation also but whereas if you go to let's
say some other accommodation let's say say mungos you'll be able to see yourself a room so for
example you can book 44 weeks 51 week contract and essentially click on this button called book now
and you will be able to book the accommodation and the other good thing about the ambassador in
the reason for recommending this is it also gives you personal assistance for free
especially if you just click my link as i said in the description box below and you can just
fill in your name email address country and you can just submit so they will be able to get give
you personal assistance also they they can help you which accommodation is more suitable for you
if you've got some special requests that i want this kind of room that kind of prove i want some
of my friends to be in that specific accommodation they will be more than happy to help you with with
the personal assistance which is again available for free and they just respond within one hour
so again this is again another kind of uh kind of the way you can look for and private
accommodation which is owned by private company not owned by university but this is the private
accommodation is something which i'll be kind of recommending you to go ahead and book so
the third way of finding an accommodation is through a website called spare room and this
is a way how you can find a house for yourself let's say if you want a room in a specific house
how you how you can find this is through spare room because i've got a decent experience of
spare room because last year i went to newcastle to do my placement internship for one year and i
was able to find my room the house through spare website and i would say it is kind of trusted
website it is like uh it is like secure i will say you because i personally use it myself okay
so essentially what you can do is you can do your search based upon the area or postcode let's say
your university is in london or glasgow but london or glasgow but my recommendation would be
uh you should be knowing that west of university and filter down
uh you are such based upon the post code okay let's say you go to google you go to university
strathclyde will be showing you the address there will be a postcode i'll write down that postcode
over here let's sg for ods just a random one and search for it so you can see again
a large double bedroom available for rent in a house which is 500 pound per month
and again there will be another rooms which are available this is two room available in
west and flat so you can see there like a lot of different advertisement which the landlords have
kind of advertised there's a cosy room available in spacious stronghold flat gave 335 pounds per
uh month so again these are again great offers which you can look for in order to get a house
so this is the third way which i wanted to like show the guys who want to actually book in house
in the uk and spare room is a website which you can go and book an accommodation
well these were three different ways i want to explain you about the certain accommodation how
you can find them and the other other base could be you can go to the facebook you can
unless you can write accommodations in uk and there are a lot of people who actually advertise
that there's a room available in a house there's a private accommodation available again you can
join their specific uh groups on the facebook and you'll be able to find an accommodation
and also i want to mention here that if you are in the very first year of your university if you're
if you're going let's say it's a master's degree my personal recommendation from all these three
different routes will be the private accommodation okay because in the private accommodation first of
all sm paid to strength accommodation it's more cheaper it's got more facilities sometimes in
the private accommodation you can also get a gym you can get indoor gaming facilities you
can get a cinema you can get a library also not library essentially silent zone where you can
study with your friends and the mates so i will definitely recommend you the private accommodation
from all of these different routes which i have explained over here however if you've got a very
really kind of narrow tight budget then go for a room in a house which you can find through spare
room website so with this i hope this video was fruitful this video was informative again check
out the link which is mentioned in the description box below for amber students i hope this video was
informative we'll see you in my next video make sure to like comment and subscribe cheers bye
