Booking your accommodation for next year now is probably the last thing you want to do. After the New Year, you’re likely busy with coursework, revising for exams, going out with friends, etc. Sparing a few moments to decide where you’re going to live in the next academic year can be challenging when you have a full social and academic life.

However, even though this is probably not at the top of your list, it’s worth doing it sooner rather than later. After all, you want to be able to get great accommodation at amazing prices and enjoy life at uni to its fullest!

More Availability

The best places always go first. That’s a fact. No matter how early you think you’ve started hunting for accommodation, there’s always someone who got there first! This is why you should never leave it for a later time and should, in fact, start now. Booking your accommodation for the next academic year right after New Year might not make a lot of sense at a first glance; there’s still loads of time left, or so it seems.

In reality, many students are keen to sort everything as soon as possible, which means that rooms are quick to go, so finding the one that best suits you can become challenging. Finding a room with the best facilities, well located and at the best price is a true treasure, and there aren’t many of those around!

So, don’t wait until your window of opportunity closes; book your accommodation now.

Peace of Mind

Imagine how good it will feel when you can put the stress of house-hunting behind you… if you decide to book your accommodation now, you can push it to the back of your mind and focus instead on your studies and social commitments.

When the time to move finally comes, you won’t be stressed out or anxious about it – you only need to pack your possessions and start a new academic year in the place you picked well in advance.

Great Offers and Incentives

The best offers and discounts are not available all year around. On the contrary, companies want to rent out their rooms as early as possible, so that they don’t have to worry about empty rooms later in the year.

This means that, as a student, you’re much more likely to find great incentives and rates the earlier you start your search. If you leave it for later, you might have to get last-pickings at a price you didn’t want.

Leaving your student accommodation booking for last minute might not be the best choice. Fantastic rooms and houses are a limited commodity, so start now and easily find the place of your dreams!
