Leeds rentals, nine issues to be aware of!

“1. Generally, after booking a dormitory, students have to live in the room they are assigned to (randomly assigned). Some students are not satisfied with the room they are assigned and ask to change it. Unless someone is willing to switch rooms with you, or switch Leeds student accommodation areas.

2. Keep the keys of your school dormitory and do not presume to say that you will get another pair. The English letters on the top of the school keys are legally required in the UK, and no place that dispenses locks has the right to copy such keys, which also ensures the safety of the dormitory.

If a key is lost or damaged, you will generally have to pay about 50 pounds, and the price will vary according to the requirements of each school. When you go to the kitchen, you should bring your keys with you. It often happens that students’ doors are unlocked, and the dormitories have wardens who can assist in opening the doors. However, there are generally rules on the number of times you can do this, and you will be fined if you exceed them.

5. Chinese cooking fumes will be very big, usually when Chinese people cook, some foreigners will hide because foreigners are used to eating in the kitchen and the fumes are so choking that they can’t eat. Most of the Chinese students will eat in their own house after cooking while surfing the internet, but they don’t know that the fumes will remain in the house after people leave.

6. The kitchen of the school dormitory is cleaned and the garbage is also cleaned by someone, but it is recommended that Chinese students should probably organize themselves after cooking and not to get too dirty. The garbage should be sorted, and glass bottles and cans should not be put together with the kitchen garbage, but in the designated place.
