QUB students pay less in rent than any other university in the UK
Swall?
Queen’s students have the cheapest rent in the UK, according to new findings. Our rent comes in at just £73.81 a week, well below the national average of £109.
Manchester came in at second cheapest, paying £76.48 a week, while Cardiff came third at £81.47 a week.
On the other end of the scale, Oxford student houses were the priciest, with rent prices in the historic city coming in at £135.48 a week – nearly twice what we pay. Cambridge followed close second £131.48 a week.
The findings came from Natwest’s Student Living Index, which profiled the most cost effective cities for students in the UK and ranked Belfast fourth.
The index also found that Belfast students, along with Manchester, are most likely to top up their cheap rent with part time jobs, leaving us less time for hobbies and socialising.
