Totally bizarre. Do students really pay £600 a month rent these days? Ten years ago we baulked at more than half that PP, though given the tripling of other university costs I wouldn't be too surprised.
I suppose it depends how close to the university and in which town. In 2014 my son was paying £375 per person per month about 1/2 a mile from Univerity of York.
8 of them with 3 bathrooms and a cloakroom. Large kitchen with double of everything, and big table.
It had a lounge and a brick built cycle shed with power.

Luxury Living, HAS TO BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED !!!
Also, are students born in the 90’s going to get a reference to an 80’s TV show?- Fully Furnished to a High Standard Throughout
- Has to be seen to be believed - well worth the extra £££'s
- Stunning Mezzanine Style Entrance Hall - You'll think you're in Dallas !!

Despite the lack of floor plan, it looks, on the face of it, a good set up for a student HMO.(I pay €530 / month for a large furnished room in a shared apartment (3 others) in Strasbourg for my daughter.)

Have a hmo next to my in laws being built. Not sure it'll get approval to be an 8 bed, so assuming 6 and the current rent request it works at at £700 a room. In Bristol, just off of filton avenue so a mile walk from nearest uni.Madness.

90s? Students moving in to this would have been born after 9/11.Looks like it could turn into an American style frat house, which could get messy. Those sofas look exactly like those I have seen in a prison visiting room, sensible as they are probably cheap and could be bought in bulk, but it is hardly like being in Dallas.

Ah, thought so, downstairs "extension" is a conversion of garages - https://goo.gl/maps/KXCSxtpd3mHmVdM29

What I concluded is there's a Reading in every region. Unfortunately.
