The next day the Brat moved into his student accommodation. It was a two bedroom apartment about a 5 minute walk from the university.

It wasn't a bad apartment but he was sharing with 3 other guys! There was an empty lounge so there was no where to sit except the dining room table.
He shared a bedroom and a tiny bathroom with 2 of the guys. He was the first to arrive so chose the best bed which was slightly apart from the other two and even had a sofa on his side of the room. The 4th guy had the other bedroom to himself as he had paid for a single room. His 3 flatmates all came from India. One of them was doing the same course as the Brat and they became quite good friends. There weren't many windows in the apartment, and only a skylight in his room, and the Brat started feeling quite claustrophobic.
When he returns (next week
) he's sharing an apartment with a girl from Amsterdam, who he has made good friends with. We are paying slightly less than we were paying for the student accommodation, he will have his own bedroom and bathroom, and they can invite friends over whenever they want, which they weren't allowed to do in the student digs. And if we, or friends, visit, we can stay with him and not have to pay for extra accommodation!!
It is nice and modern with big windows, and it's still only about a 5 minute walk to varsity, so definitely a bargain!!
