Son is 20 years old and in his second year of an economics degree at Norwich uni. To get some real world experience he has arranged a placement with a firm in Stamford (Cummins) over his summer break and will be working from mid June to mid September.

Stamford is not commutable from either his uni digs or the family home near Worcester and so needs to find somewhere to stay in Stamford reasonably close to the town or a public transport link. He does have a full driving licence but as he is an impoverished full time student he does not have a car.

Reviewing options online, for many he is either too young (wanting minimum age of 24/25), his length of stay is too short (min term rent of 6 months) or too long (holiday style listings). As he will still be paying for his uni digs he is keen to try and keep the cost down as well.

Does anyone with knowledge of the area have any suggestions? All advice gratefully received.
