As an international student considering studying at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) in Preston, I am interested in learning more about the accommodation options available. Could anyone provide insights into the various types of housing offered by the university, such as on-campus halls of residence or off-campus apartments? I would also appreciate information about the application process, costs, and any specific accommodations tailored for international students.
Additionally, I would like to know about the location of the accommodations in relation to the university campus and the city center. Are there any particular areas that are popular among international students? How safe and secure are these neighborhoods?
Lastly, I would be grateful for any personal experiences or recommendations from current or former international students at UCLan regarding their accommodation choices. What were the pros and cons of the different options, and what advice would you give to an incoming international student?
Thank you in advance for your help and insights!
