Im living with 3 others at the mo and the bills have all been really varied so i dont really know how to estimate it! If anyone is living on their own at the mo can they give me a rough idea of how much their monthly utility bills are ie. gas, electricy, phone etc. so i can work out how much i can afford rent wise!!! Thanks Alaina :)" (by miniminogue)

I've been lucky enough to get myself a one-bedroom flat in James Watson this year, for £400 a month all-in. It's bigger than I was expecting, but probably not the sort of size flat that you might be looking at.

I have no idea how quickly they go, but if you're willing to consider living in halls, then it might be worth talking to student housing. ]]> http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,26,3534.htm#3534 thegumqueen Sat, 14 Apr 2007 11:54:01 GMT Student Life: support & advice > Student accommodation http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,26,3533.htm#3533Just a question of finding out how much i can afford now but im looking forward to the peace and not having to worry about cleaning up after everyone else, lol

Ive been looking for AGES now. The best place ive found is to go on www.rightmove.co.uk cos it searches loads of different estate agents or get the local property paper (think its out on a tues or thurs, but not 100% sure). Prices are really varied and it seems that the majority of flats are unfurnished so ebay here i come!!! I think its a case of going down Albert Road and just popping in to the estate agents down there cos a lot of them dont have websites, eg Devonshire Estates and Austin Bond.

Just a question of finding out how much i can afford now but im looking forward to the peace and not having to worry about cleaning up after everyone else, lol! ]]> http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,26,3532.htm#3532 miniminogue Sat, 14 Apr 2007 10:26:55 GMT Student Life: support & advice > Student accommodation http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,26,3531.htm#3531
I heard there are some good flats in Southsea but I think most of the places are like £90-125 a week so it can get pretty expensive.

That's not incl bills ]]> http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,26,3531.htm#3531 skribla Fri, 13 Apr 2007 23:42:35 GMT Student Life: support & advice > Student accommodation http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,26,3530.htm#3530
Not sharing a house next year sounds like a good way to get some much needed peace 'n quiet!
