Hello United Kingdom
Living in the UK is an experience thousands of people dream of. Students have an opportunity to discover themselves here, in a culture of freedom and independence. Britain’s history and tradition, along with its pub culture, are unique. Together, they create an unforgettable experience at all levels.
Universities in the UK are different. Here, they teach you to think critically for yourself. Instead of preparing you in a memory-based, heavily theoretical way, universities open your eyes, they develop your thinking skills and so you acquire and create your own knowledge.
One of the most exciting aspects of studying in the UK is its melting pot of worldwide communities. The diversity of the people you study with allows you to see the world from different perspectives. As British universities are at the forefront of academic research, and you have all the ingredients to soar above your highest expectations - while having the time of your life.
We’ve recently started offering student accommodation in these cities in the UK: London, Manchester, Nottingham, Leeds, Cardiff, Sheffield.
London is a city where you will never run out of things to do. The capital of England is well known for its famous, iconic landmarks such as the Big Ben, St. Paul’s cathedral, amongst thousands and thousands more. Then there’s the British cultural heritage, best displayed by its impressive architecture and the huge museums.
However, we know that students also care a lot about a city’s nightlife and atmosphere. This city never sleeps! Pubs, bars, clubs, warehouse afterparties, you name it: London has it all.
When it comes to finding a place to live in London, you know you can count on Uniplaces to help you!
The city of Manchester is northern England’s cultural hub. Going from the Curry Mile in Rusholme, to one of Britain’s biggest Chinatowns, Manchester is all about diversity.
Students can also make the most of this city’s huge sports culture, featuring the National Cycling Club and the largest martial arts club in the nation. To top it off, Manchester has two of the Premier League’s biggest clubs: Manchester United and Manchester City.
If you’re looking for a place to stay in Manchester, then don’t hesitate: Uniplaces is here to help you!
Studying in Nottingham is great for thousands of reasons. The city is made famous by the heroic outlaw Robin Hood, but that’s not all it’s known for. Nottingham is a vibrant city with a great student atmosphere, which often hosts several international artists at its venues.
The coolest thing about Nottingham is how great the nightlife is. Most of the spots are close to each other, and you’ll always find students enjoying the great music over a few drinks. Of course it also helps that you can enjoy this place to study for just a fraction of the living costs of London!
Located in the middle of Great Britain, Leeds is one of the fastest growing cities in the country. Not too small but not too big either, the perfect size to make you feel right at home. It has a lot going on for students, from events and parties to music festivals, and of course plenty of bars and discos for the exciting (even if sometimes rainy) night outs. If you want to master your english, do your Erasmus or even master’s degree, make sure to check out what Leeds has to offer.
Its position will make travelling around the UK very easy so if you’re one of those spontaneous people that take night trains to cross the country and spends some hours in another city, Leeds is the perfect homebase to do so.

The capital and commercial centre of Wales, but also one of the most important cities in the UK.
