The place where you will live as a student studying abroad plays a key part of the university experience. It’s more than just a place to sleep; it’s finding a space that supports you emotionally and has everything covered for you.
Do you want the social buzz of a flatshare or the quiet independence of your own space?
At Vita Student, we understand that every student is different, which is why we offer both shared and private studio apartments. Both are great, but let’s be real, shared living is a classic choice for making new friends, and a studio apartment can be a game-changer. Want to know why? Keep reading.
Shared Apartments
This is the traditional flatmate experience. You get your own private bedroom and often an en-suite bathroom, but you share the kitchen and living room with a few other students. It’s great for social butterflies who want to be around people all the time and enjoy a collaborative living environment.
Private Studio Apartments
This is your own personal sanctuary. A studio is a self-contained unit with everything you need in one space: your own bedroom, private bathroom, and a fully equipped kitchen. It’s designed for students who value independence and having full control over their living environment. Vita offer these for both single and double occupancy, so you can have a private space whether you live alone or with a partner.
Finding Your Perfect Home
While shared apartments offer a fantastic social experience, here are a few key reasons why many students find a studio apartment to be the ideal choice for university life.
1. Unmatched Focus and Productivity
University requires serious dedication. In a studio, you have full control over your environment. There are no distractions, and this uninterrupted quiet is everything you need for deep work, whether you’re writing a complex essay or cramming for a final exam. For many, a studio apartment translates directly into better concentration and, ultimately, better grades.
2. Your Own Private Oasis
Sometimes, during your student years, you just need to retreat and recharge. A studio offers a space where you can fully unwind without feeling the pressure to socialise. It’s your personal oasis to read, listen to music, or simply decompress after a long day of lectures. You can decorate your room, giving it a more personal touch. This privacy helps you maintain healthy mental balance and avoiding social burnout.
3. Freedom and Flexibility
You get to live on your own terms. Want to cook a meal at 1 AM? Go for it. Need to wake up early to study without disturbing anyone? No problem. A studio gives you the freedom to create a schedule that works best for your academic and personal life, without having to coordinate with flatmates.
4. The Cleanliness You Deserve
If you have a specific standard of cleanliness, a studio apartment is a dream. You are the only one responsible for your space, so it will always be as tidy as you want it to be. You’ll never have to worry about a shared chore rota or dealing with other people’s mess.
Choosing a studio apartment is more than just a preference for a room; it’s a decision to invest in your focus, well-being, and independence. It provides the perfect foundation for a successful and fulfilling university journey, allowing you to truly thrive on your own terms.
