There are many issues which you will need to consider while searching for rental accommodation. Price and location are possibly the two most important factors for many students; however, you should also read over the information on sharing with others, living skills, pre-booking accommodation etc.

It may be useful to prioritise the different issues which may influence your decision – e.g. is location more - or less - mportant than price?
