When comparing student rooms, dig deeper than the listed rent by factoring in utilities, internet, and contents insurance, which can add £20–£50 per week. Also consider hidden costs like travel passes if you're far from campus, or mandatory cleaning fees in some halls. A cheaper room with uncovered bills might cost more overall than a slightly pricier all-inclusive option.
