Ans: It is beneficial to apply for student accommodation early around 5-6 months before your course start date. Most of the student accommodations get booked fast and thus, if you wait till the end moment to make a booking, you might not find the room of your choice. Uhomes assists you with the entire booking process and paperwork so that you can secure your desired accommodation in time.
