Student moves at affordable prices
If you decide to get a higher education you probably will have to relocate to a student campus. Very often studying is associated with a change of location because many universities have been established in specific areas. In most cases they are far away from small towns and villages and are situated on the outskirts of bigger cities or in their centres. 
For example there are quite a few Universities in London. On the other hand there are only a few Unis on which professors are lecturing on particular fields of science you may want to study. Sometimes there are some subjects that enjoy a high demand and there may not be any availability. In such situation students to find a free spot must travel there where they get what they want.
Student housing support
The starting point for the student, when moving, is a real estate that will help him to find and let a house. A full removal can lead to high costs: new furniture, rent a van, etc. The right place is a student letting agency. From there, grants and loans may be obtained. You could get some money for the removal van and also if you lucky for the rent. Because the demand for the student support is high there are certain criteria and conditions must be met. The calculation includes the rent and operating costs to the living costs. The money for the relocation of a student can be granted but it is an unusual requirement and agencies decide on each case individually. Your chances increase if your parents are unemployed or have a low income. You can also contact different organisations such as Caritas, Diakonia or DRC. It is a good idea to visit each charity and agency, and talk face to face to people that may be able to help. Such meetings are worthwhile especially if the student is from a with many children family.
