What are students looking for?
Students are looking for comfortable rooms which are well lit and adequately heated. Most students have their own personal computers and expect internet access.
Location is important. Although some students have cars, it is best if the property is near to public transport, either on main bus routes or near railway stations. Ideally the property needs to be close to good transport providing easy access to campus sites.
