Most people associate University with Halls of Residence,However there are other options for you if you don't wish to live inUniversity managed halls.
1. You can rent a room, flat or house from a private landlord and live with other students.
Or 2. You can rent a room in a privately-run hall of residence, where students
from other universities and colleges live together.
