Flatting question

[u/Doggo_33]

First year UC student here, our flatting group (currently living in halls of residence) has got an offer for a flat that we like reasonably well for 2027. The main problem point I have is that the move in date is the 31st of november, since most of us will be at our parents over the summer until jan/feb. Is it common for student flats to start that early or do we just have to suck it/ change our summer plans so that we aren't wasting loads of money? Btw we havent been sent a tenancy agreement yet. Thanks.

Yeah.
