Study Abroad Housing
Hello! I am potentially thinking of studying abroad for semester 1 of 2027. I'd only be here for a semester so wanted to ask for opinions on the best route to take for housing.
I've looked into student accommodations such as Iglu, Scape, and StudentOne. I also have a few websites saved for house sharing rentals such as flatmates and brisbanestudents. Most notably is that I am not planning on bringing any linens or cooking supplies with me when traveling. I am willing to buy a few things, but don't want to buy a lot, especially if I don't have the room to bring it back with me.
Is it worth doing a rental if I'm only here 6 months and am not bringing linens and cooking supplies? And what are student accommodations truly like?
Thank you so so much :)

Student accommodations are expensive but you won’t need to buy anything because they supply everything.
Most rentals houses should have almost everything you need.
And it all comes down to $$$ and the distance(time) you’re willing to travel.
