The benefits of living in a larger group as a university student

As you embark on the exciting journey of house hunting for the upcoming academic year, we suggest considering the numerous advantages of living in a larger group as a student. Sure, the prospect of sharing a house with a large group may seem daunting at first, but trust us, the benefits far outweigh any initial reservations. As a renowned student letting agency in Leeds, we're here to guide you through the perks of opting for a larger student home.

 


Budget-Friendly Bliss

 


Let's start with the pocket-friendly aspect – who doesn't love saving a few pennies? One of the most significant advantages of living in a larger group is the cost-effectiveness. For students, the rent per person often become more affordable as the size of the house increases. By choosing a bigger property and splitting the costs among more housemates, you can enjoy more spacious living arrangements without burning a hole in your student budget.

 


Shared Responsibilities, Shared Success

 


Living with more housemates means sharing responsibilities, and this can be a game-changer. From cleaning and grocery shopping to organising social events, distributing tasks among a larger group makes everything more manageable. Plus, it fosters a sense of teamwork and cooperation, essential skills that extend beyond the university years. Our top tip is to create a rota amongst all house mates, to make sure everyone is pulling their weight fairly and all chores get done!

 


All-Inclusive Comfort

 


Stress-free living is the dream, right? Well, it can be a reality when you choose one of our larger student houses. Many of our bigger properties have the option of bills included, meaning you don't have to worry about juggling multiple payments for rent, utilities, and internet. This all-inclusive package not only simplifies your financial planning but also ensures a hassle-free housing experience. Say goodbye to bill-related stress and hello to peace of mind!

 


Built-In Support Network



Living in a larger group provides you with an instant support network. Whether you need someone to proofread your essay, a cooking buddy, or just someone to share a laugh with after a long day of lectures, your housemates are right there with you- and you all have shared experiences! It's like having your own built-in community, ready to support you through the ups and downs of university life. After all, who understands the struggles of student life better than your fellow students?

 


Unmatched Social Life

 


If you're looking to enhance your social life, a larger group setting is the way to go. With more housemates, there's a higher chance of finding people with similar interests. From movie nights and dinner parties to impromptu gatherings, the opportunities for socialising are endless. Living in a larger group creates a vibrant and dynamic living environment, ensuring that your university experience is not just academically fulfilling but socially enriching too.
