Additional rent considerations

The first instalment is due before you arrive. You will not be able to use your student loan to pay this, as you won’t receive this until after you have enrolled on your course.

Payments can be made by debit card or credit card (although there is a two per cent surcharge on credit card transactions) or by direct debit. You can make a bank transfer if you have no other ways of paying.
