Around this time every summer, there is prompted one of the most frantic scrambles in the life of any student: the annual rush for accommodation. The realisation that the new academic year is fast approaching and you have invariably failed to start looking for somewhere to live inevitably leads to a state of unbridled frenzy as you are forced to contemplate a year of sleeping on the couches of benevolent friends and ascertaining which of the local hedges look the cosiest.
Luckily, there are some decent student accomodation options coming on stream, and the Fresh Student Living accommodation at Blackhall Place could be the solution you were looking for.
