After living in a close-knit community like halls, University of Chester students in their second year find the prospect of moving beyond the campus alone daunting.
Fortunately, living in a shared house can offer an excellent way for students to transition to their newfound independence.
Affordability
The all-inclusive nature of campus residency can leave students unprepared for the cost of living. A house share lets students divvy up the expense of household cleaning supplies, groceries and even a takeaway pizza. Many housing options also include bills in rent to simplify student outgoings.
Space
Living with others can give students access to more space. While students have a room of their own in shared accommodation for privacy, they also enjoy larger areas designed for communal use like kitchens, lounges and sometimes outdoor spaces for fresh air and socialising in the sun.
Companionship
House shares are an ideal place to make friends. Living together builds bonds and makes for fun social experiences at university. However, having people close by to count on for a chat or study support can also help students feel less isolated when they are studying far from home. Sharing a living space with other people from different backgrounds can also be a valuable educational experience all of its own.
