Can Two Students Share Accommodation Near Coventry University Under £500/Month?

Student Query

Hi, I am from Chennai, India, and my name is Salim Malik. I am moving to Coventry this year. I shall be studying an MSc in Construction Management with BIM at Coventry University. I have a friend along with me who is moving to Coventry University around the same time as me. We are looking for student accommodation near Coventry University within a specific budget. We want the student accommodation under £500 per month. What type of student room would be perfect for us in this case? Do we need to be prepared to set aside additional money in case there aren’t rooms in this price range? Is there any criteria for two students wanting to stay together? Since this is our first time internationally, we aren’t sure of any student housing rules and regulations. Can we be guided on this?

Answer Summary

Yes, students can share accommodation near Coventry University. The main criteria for sharing accommodation is that both people need to be students. Friends who want to stay together must book dual-occupancy accommodation. These options are available in two-bed and three-bed apartments. Studio rooms are another option when it comes to sharing accommodation with another student. However, if one of the students drops out mid-tenancy, the dual-occupancy arrangement will become invalid. Since Coventry is an affordable city in the UK, students can find accommodation for £500 - £700 per month.UniAcco helped Salim shortlist AXO Sherbourne Student Village.
