Increasing large numbers of oversea students are seeking to pursue their higher education in Great Britain. As a result, they are confronted with a serious accommodation problem. In order to remedy this situation, we need to explore the problem and try to figure out what we can do about it.

First of all, the colleges and universities in UK provide quite limited on-campus accommodations. Therefore, most of the international students have to find houses and flats off campus. In particular, this makes it more difficult for the freshmen to start their oversea college lives.

Furthermore, the rents of the houses close to the campus are intolerably high due to the competition on the house rental market. Thus, it is extremely challenging for the students to enjoy a cheap and desirable accommodation during the days in the UK, especially for those living in flourishing cities, such as London.

In addition, the property in the room is usually poorly furnished or even unfurnished, which demand the tenants to buy furniture themselves. This, undoubtedly, raises the cost of housing and increases the living pressure for the international candidates.

In consequence of the above factors, it is necessary for us to place great emphasis on the accommodation of the foreign studiers. On the one hand, the tertiary colleges should supply early for on-campus accommodations. On the other hand, relevant institutions should build effective platform for the exchange of information about renting a house, so that the students could find a group to share the cost of housing with.
