## Are Your Visa Requirements Correct? Before you can even start thinking about student accommodation, you have to make sure your visa is correct. This is a vital point on your checklist as if you don’t have the right one, you might not even get through the airport when you land in the UK. Check your requirements via the course, and the UK Government website will have more information to ensure you’re on the right visa. ## Choose The Right Course You probably have a good idea of what course you want to do and that’s great! Give the course materials a thorough read through first to find out if there are options for things like work placements. These course material will also let you know if your course assessment is exams, coursework or a mixture of both. Courses differ between universities too so if you’re applying for a Journalism degree at 3 different universities, they could all be hugely different. It’s definitely worth doing your research! ## Pick The Best All Inclusive Student Accommodation IconInc, in Leeds and Liverpool, is the best all inclusive student accommodation both cities.
