So when I decided to go to university, one of the things that had a bigger impact than I thought would be living in rented student accommodation. I live close enough to the university to be commuting from home however I really wanted the "full university experience" by living in halls in my first year. I nearly ended up living in halls for my second year until a course mate asked me if I wanted to live in a shared house with her and a few other people, which is what I did and now going into my third year I decided to live with my boyfriend. Now the transition from living in halls to private accommodation wasn't as bad as I expected it to be, the main difference most people have is that you have to pay for your own bills and do the research into bill providers yourselves.
