I am poor and studying the final year of a degree in england. It's only til next year when I finish but until then I have to live in shitty houseshares and I can't do this shit anymore! Most co tenants are young, messy, and up til 4 in the morning. Bills can never seem to be split properly unless its me that foots most or all of the bill. Landlords never seem to know what they are doing and don't play by the rules, and think its ok to kick people out or dick around with the tenancy agreement. I've got to find another place to live AGAIN and hope that I can survive until I finish my degree but all I can afford are weird houseshares or student lets with teenagers. Next year I should be able to get a salary job and my own flat or teach in another country for a few months. until then I have to put up with living with strangers and dodgy landlords and it SUCKS!

I shared a house at Uni. It wasn't terrible. In a few years, you won't remember it. Yeah, landlords can be complete homos, one landlord I had just invited himself in a lot of the time. Just buckle up an apply yourself, get that grade, it's all that matters at University.

I suggest you realize, that not all communal housing relationships are so lax and uncomfortable for renters. A lot of landlords keep a tight ship on pay expectancy. I would suggest maybe a new start at looking at rental communities in your area.
