                                                                          Bristol Houses – Rented Student Accommodation

 

Bristol has a student population in excess of 40,000 with a large proportion arriving from outside Bristol to take up their courses and in need of accommodation. The first imperative is that they secure their accommodation well in advance since good Bristol Student Lets are always in short supply and leaving it late will incur more expense and possibly result in inferior accommodation. There are various ways to find suitable Bristol Lets from single catered rooms to private house share.

 

Bristol University accommodation office is certainly the first place to start if you are about to attend Bristol as a student. For your first year’s accommodation Bristol University will guarantee a place in their managed accommodation, either self catering or catered rooms. These rooms will also be let, if available,  to undergraduates not in their first year, postgraduates and families. Bristol University manages a large range of property from small houses to large catered and self catering halls of residence. Prices range from £75.00 to £185.00 weekly but one must apply early with the best time being very soon after receiving your placement at Bristol.

There are many Bristol Letting Agencies but only a small number exclusively deal with students and it will pay you to use these agencies as the landlords know what they are getting. Many private landlords will not take students as they fear for the standard of care lavished on their properties by a house full of students (parties etc).  These Letting Agents in Bristol will have a variety of properties available from single rooms to large houses to share. Some agencies will put students together who are new to Bristol and would like to share a house with similar like-minded students. The tenancies will either be on a joint tenancy basis or individual tenancies. These can be great places to be away from home for the first time but it does carry certain responsibilities with it as well, such as paying the rent and bills on time especially if you have a joint tenancy agreement.

 

Weekly costs for renting your student accommodation in Bristol vary from a house share in Clifton at £80 - £100 to shared accommodation in Westbury on trym at £55 - £65 but always take transport costs into account if living on the outskirts of Bristol. There may be travel passes available and as a full time student you will not pay Council Tax.

 

Rough estimates for a total year as an undergraduate in Bristol including all cost from accommodation and food to Bristol University course and booze are –

 

£7,000 - £8,000     Self catering in Hall of Residence

£8,000 - £9,500     Catered in Hall of Residence

£8,000 - £12,000    Private landlord single room or house share.

 

Imminent increase in tuition fees not included above.
