When comparing student rooms, look past the weekly rent. Check if bills like electricity, water, and internet are included, as these can add £20-£30 per week. Also consider location—a cheaper room far from campus might mean higher transport costs, while a slightly pricier place near uni saves time and bus fares. Don't forget hidden fees like deposits or admin charges.
