I&#8217;m an international postgraduate student studying Music Education at the University of York. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I started in January 2021, there was a housing shortage both on and off-campus. Despite this, the university managed to provide me with accommodation in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/colleges\/constantine\/\">Constantine<\/a>. However, my lectures were on Campus West which I believed was too far from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/map\/#locid98\">Constantine College<\/a>. In the end I decided to find accommodation outside the campus which I thought would suit me better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this blog I&#8217;m going to share my off-campus accommodation experiences and provide top tips on how to find the right place for you.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to find off-campus accommodation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the internet, there are many websites like <a href=\"https:\/\/uniacco.com\/get-in-touch?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=src-generic-core-city-york-geo-all&amp;utm_term=student%20housing%20york&amp;utm_content=housing-exact&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAvaGRBhBlEiwAiY-yMPCbbhvUHQz4GOajTUixnn472dau1T6w9YqDFIYPyJJXihlpfWlRZRoC-WIQAvD_BwE\">UniAcco<\/a> with information about off-campus accommodation for international students in York. You can use these sites to see which off-campus student accommodation is available. Once you&#8217;ve found your favourite place you can make a reservation from its corresponding official website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>My accommodation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was a tenant at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellostudent.co.uk\/student-accommodation\/york\/foss-studios\/\">Foss Studios<\/a> which is a property of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellostudent.co.uk\/\">Hello Student<\/a>. They also own  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellostudent.co.uk\/student-accommodation\/york\/percy-lane\/\">Percy\u2019s Place<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellostudent.co.uk\/student-accommodation\/york\/samuel-tuke-apartments\/\">Samuel Tuke Apartments<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/wechatimg64478.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/wechatimg64478.jpg?resize=711%2C525&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Foss Studios apartment block.\" class=\"wp-image-9889\" width=\"711\" height=\"525\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Foss Studios accommodation in York (Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellostudent.co.uk\/student-accommodation\/york\/foss-studios\/\">Hello student<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my opinion, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps?q=foss+studios+york&amp;rlz=1C1GCEU_enGB977GB977&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj6tZKC-bj2AhWkolwKHdcMBoYQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw\">Foss is the best located student accommodation in York<\/a>. It&#8217;s perfectly located between the city centre and Campus West where the Department of Music is. I can walk to either within 15 minutes. I can also get to Morrisons (one of the biggest supermarkets in York) in 10 minutes and there\u2019s a park named Hull Road Park nearby. It&#8217;s convenient to shop in the city centre, go to class, buy groceries and stroll in the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foss Studios only provide studio rooms with different sizes and prices. They don&#8217;t require a deposit and accept Bank of China cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/wechatimg64625-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/wechatimg64625-1.jpg?resize=712%2C442&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Studio flat in Foss Studios.

However after seeing the church next door under the blue sky, and heard birds chirping, my exhaustion and drowsiness washed away. At that moment I felt my teenage dream had simply come true. I was in the UK with the nature!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/wechatimg1772178.jpeg?resize=1280%2C960\" alt=\"St Lawrence Parish Church next to Foss Studios\" class=\"wp-image-9869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/wechatimg1772178.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/wechatimg1772178.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/wechatimg1772178.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/wechatimg1772178.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/wechatimg1772178.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>St Lawrence Parish Church<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also loved the local cat called Felix who often came to visit. She is very friendly to everyone there and I often saw her on my way to and from class. She would come through the side gate and walk around and between my legs.

I for example, put some paintings on the wall and decorations in my room that reminded me of home. I also surrounded myself with lots of friends. We cooked and had meals together and often went into the city together. Those experiences actually reduced my loneliness and gave a lot of warmth to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Advantages and disadvantages of off-campus accommodation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my opinion these are the advantages and disadvantages of living off-campus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-More housing options<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Closer to the city and large supermarkets<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-You can choose roommates and arrange living facilities <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Disadvantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Price may be higher<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Further from the university<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Precautions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When renting off-campus accommodation, you need to pay attention to the information given by the accommodation providers or landlords.
