to SEDA College are: D1, D2, D3, D7 and D8. If your accommodation is in postcodes such as D4, D5, D6 and D12 you
can get to the school by bicycle or by bus in about 20 minutes.

3. If you are looking for shared accommodation choose SHARING from the menu at the top.
ĘÑŅŎǾÑŒPMǾPÒŌŊŘŎÞǾŒÑMǾŃOŅŎǾshared accommodation (SHARING) or entire houses/apartments (LETTINGS),
specify the area where you want to
4. After choosing the region you can select more options like minimum and maximum rent, accommodation
type and so on. After you’ve made your choices press SEARCH.
You will then see ads for accommodation that fits your search criteria. By clicking on these options you can
get more details about (for example, the number of people already living in the accommodation, their
nationality etc). You will also see a map showing the exact location of the property. On the right hand-side
you will normally see a phone number for the person who placed the ad, and also a form which you can
use to send them an e-mail.
5. If you are looking for an apartment or a house, rather than shared accommodation, choose LETTINGS
from the menu at the top. You can then select the desired location of the property, your price range,
number of bedrooms and type of accommodation.

Generally when it comes to lettings you will deal with a lettings/real estate agency. But some
properties are advertised by their landlords (owners).
6. The process of finding accommodation on other websites is very similar to that described above.

liked the place and would like to rent it let the landlord/agent know as soon as possible to guarantee that you get
the accommodation. Always try to get as much information as possible about the accommodation from the
people living there already: ask about your transport options, availability of shops and other facilities in the area.
If you have any further questions talk to SEDA College’s student support team.
