Once you’ve been accepted to university or college, it might feel like it’s time to sit back, relax and wait for September to roll in. But nope! After you’ve secured your place, you’ve got to start on the real work: sussing out the nightlife, preparing for your course and, perhaps most importantly, finding somewhere to live!
