By this time we might be familiar with the term PBSA which stands for purpose built student accommodation (PBSA). In the UK it is known as the country’s golden goose. Thanks to the private developers who have emerged with PBSA as a housing, built specifically for students to live in, these are also known as cluster flats that have many bedrooms with shared facilities or private studios, both with attached leisure facilities and lots of conventional amenities like cinemas, gyms, and games rooms. With the advent of this co-housing living system, students are obviously at an advantage over others. But they should be knowing many things before they plan on or decide about living in a PBSA or student room. Here are three most important points of consideration for them.
Letter of Confirmation from the University
Students planning to move in and live in a PBSA should pay heed to the fact that you have to be a student to be able to stay in a PBSA or Purpose-built student accommodation. Any provider or landlord would be asking you to furnish a letter of confirmation of your enrollment in the university of that country where most likely you will be residing. Without that you will not be allowed possession unless they also allow tenants other than students.
Choice of Room Partner Differs
Planning to move-in with a room partner? You can give it a shot but must remember that not all PBSAs rent rooms to more than one person. Some of the rooms might already have an occupant to share a room with. So if you want to live with a partner of your choice, make sure the PBSA you choose has the provision to do so. It is, therefore, better to ask beforehand.
Adjusting to Shared Accommodation The concept of PBSA is a community driven environment that encourages you to build a community of your own so that you will not be alone in a totally new country and have friends or like-minded people to be with. Therefore, you must keep in mind that you will have to share your washroom (unless you choose en-suite rooms that have attached washrooms), kitchen, and living area in the student apartment with fellow residents. The aforementioned three points are some things you ought to know even before planning to live in a PBSA. University Living, your global partner for student housing offers newly designed PBSAs and student room for aspirants planning to settle down for higher studies abroad.
