I understand, but is it that such a larger saving over the amount you earn that makes it palatable to rent a bed in a shared room?
I don’t know how life is in England. I have been in plenty hostels and really enjoy hostels when travelling; but I’d never consider them an option to live in.
I stayed in a hostel in Heidelberg for 6 weeks while looking for accommodation on my year abroad. It was the best hostel I stayed in, mainly because the kitchen/dining room was big and well-equipped and there were quite a few other students in the same position so from a social point of view it wasn’t bad. But 6 weeks of limited privacy, loud snorers and room changes every few days, along with the uncertainty about being able to book a room in busy seasons took its toll. There’s no way I could do that full time, especially not for £30 a night.
