With the academic year coming to an end for many students, it will now be time to pack up and find somewhere new to live in September if you are going back to university. RGU ResLife<\/a> shared with us five top tips to finding accommodation in Aberdeen to make the process less daunting.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Decide on the type of accommodation<\/h2>\n

There are different options for student accommodation in Aberdeen depending on what you\u2019re looking for. You can decide to live in RGU Halls, even if you\u2019re not in first year, in private student accommodation, or in a rented flat.<\/p>\n

We have four accommodation sites for RGU students, either in the city centre, on campus, or in between. Living in RGU halls means you can stay with your current flatmates if you wish to, or move in with new students, with excellent support from our ResLife team.<\/p>\n

Living in private halls can create a diverse dynamic, as you will likely be living with other students from RGU, the University of Aberdeen and North East Scotland College. But please remember that, contrary to RGU accommodation, not all private student accommodation will release you from your lease if you decide not to enrol at university or withdraw during your studies. Always check details of termination conditions in your lease document.<\/p>\n

Finally, you can choose to look at the private rented sector. If you like your privacy and want to live alone, that could be a great option, but you can also get a rented flat with a group of friends, providing you all agree on location and budget.<\/p>\n

2. Choose your preferred area<\/h2>\n

Speaking of location, finding where you want to leave should be next on your to-do list when looking for a new accommodation!<\/p>\n

Do you want to be in the city centre close to the shops, nightlife, and part-time job opportunities or would you prefer a quieter area near the RGU campus? Looking at the following postcodes can help narrow your search:<\/p>\n
