Accommodation costs in the UK vary depending on the city and the type of accommodation you’re looking for. Although London is the most expensive city to live in the UK, there are still bargains to be found – especially if you’re coming over as a student. We’ve teamed up with leading student accommodation specialists, Student.com to help our interns out. Talk to us and we’ll refer you to one of their experts.
