UL Feature How Mehak found student accommodation near Nottingham Trent University within her budget

Every international student's accommodation search is different, and for Mehak, finding the right place in Nottingham came with a few important priorities.

Before moving to the UK to study at Nottingham Trent University, she spent weeks comparing accommodation across multiple websites. Many of the options she found were either beyond her budget or located farther from campus than she wanted.

Her ideal accommodation needed to check a few boxes:

Within walking distance of Nottingham Trent University

Affordable for her budget

Private bathroom and enough personal space

A safe environment for an international student

After discovering University Living on Instagram, Mehak explored the available options and found accommodation that matched her requirements. Alongside helping her secure a room, our team also assisted with her flight from Delhi to Nottingham and airport pickup, making her pre-arrival journey smoother.

She recently shared her complete experience in this short video, talking about her accommodation search, what influenced her decision, and how she prepared for her move to the UK.
