Accommodation
Accommodation is always a worry; where you'll live (and perhaps, more importantly, with whom) is one of the biggest concerns when you set off on your year abroad. How to choose from the hundreds of websites out there? Which can you trust? Are there any hidden fees? These questions are bound to be buzzing around your head.
We've compiled a list of some of the best websites out there, adding to this section as and when we find something we think you should know about, be it finding lodgings, sorting out home insurance, or just finding like minded people to share with (if that's what you want to do).
