► Housing
Finding the right place to live is important to your well-being. Do your budget - can you afford to pay the rent? Always read through the tenancy agreement before signing and never sign without seeing the property. If you don't understand anything in the contract come and see an FXU Adviser. Who are you going to live with? Take time to think about this. Bear in mind that friendship groups change, especially in the first year. Once they have been signed, tenancy agreements are legally binding. So you may be stuck with that house-mate who never does the washing up, hasn't washed themselves since the first week and only seems to get up when you want to go to bed.
