Because in hotels you usually get half the space of a rental yet end up paying more in the long run. You won't have a permanent to have things mailed to; it will go to the front office where they can see everything you recieve. You won't have a telephone in your own name, and you'll have to press a 9 almost everytime you want to call out. You won't have a full sized refridgerator and stove/oven unless you are renting an efficiency hotel. You'll have to deal people coming and going all the time at a hotel, you'll never acquire rental history at a hotel, and you'll never know when the rates will change and you'll have to pay more at any given time.

generally you can rent basement suites in a house for less than you can rent a smaller apartment.\nis this a permanent arrangement?  I hope not because it is terrible for kids to live in apartments without room to go outside and play.....\n1 adult can sleep in living room, 2 can share 1 bed room, kids in other room.....\n\nneed to save save save so you can buy a proper house.

There are a million sites to go to. I have been many times and it is like home to me- doing everything I can to move there. You know how after it rains and the sun is setting everything turns kinda a gold color? Imagine that color for most of the day. The land always smell sweet, even when its winter and nothing is in bloom. The food is always piping hot. The sound of galic, scot-english is a soothing music to your ears.(I know it all sounds corney, but its the way I see and feel it) expensive- yes, a bit. the exchange rate is a bit high, but not too bad. and you can stay in a hostel for rather cheap ($15-25 a night) food and beer is quite inexpensive but retail is high. would I go again? duh- yeah

Gotta live there.  The only way.  Many places seam great when you visit but once you live there, it is a whole new reality.  Trust me I have tones of experience.

Mari had the right idea but she got it backwards.  When renting a home, you are usually doing so on a month-to-month basis.  You miss one rent payment and you can be booted.\n\nLeasing is more long term and you sign a paper saying how long you are required to be in residence for and then pay rent to the landowner. The landlord of the house cannot kick you out before the lease is up unless there is a very good reason (usually decided by a court).

When my husband and I moved in together we rented a town house in a town that has 20,000 people, double that with college students. We moved into a town house that doesn't allow college students, the water and garbage was included. It was a 2 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath, not sure of the size, but it was decent. It cost us $550 a month. Then after that we moved to a house about 15 miles away in a town of 800, it was a 3 bedroom house, 2 bathrooms, 1 car garage and a really nice fenced in yard, it was about twice the size, but none of the utilites were included and we only paid $310 a month...It just shows how much cheaper a place is in a smaller town. By the way we live in west central illinois, about 1 1/2 from the Mississippi river...

You probably spend more time there than at home anyway might as well meet people. Also probably more people your age there. And most likely more things to do.

We own our house. It's just a small one (2 bedrooms) but we had an awful experience with renting. Our landlord was over every day without telling us, he used our utilities, he was really creepy and would stand outside the window and stare in at me and he would never fix anything plus the house was practically falling down and infested with mice but because it looked nice from the outside we were paying a fortune. After that we decided that we'd have a little home built on my Mum and Step-Dad's property (they have a huge propery & we're WAY down the back) while we save up for our dream home.

Leasing is long term, and has a contract.  Renting is short term, and sometimes has a contract, and sometimes don't.\nOtherwise there is no real difference

Well it really depends on how long you're planning to stay.\nI'm an ex-erasmus myself and I strongly advice you to go and live with the locals in order to appreciate the experience.\n\nLiving in a hostel, even the University hostel could be interesting, depending on the state of the place ! \n\nIn Scotland however, people often share their appartments.\nYou could then rent a room in a house with 3 other students.\nThe accommodation office of the university will provide yo with a list of potential rooms. You simply phone and visit. \n\nOnce again it depends where you're going : Glasgow, Edinburgh, aberdeen ??? The prices aren't the same !

I live  in las vegas and its great, you choose how to live your life, if your into the night life it's here for you, and if you just want to live a quite life it's also here for you,some people choose to have a quite week day and party it up during the weekend, what ever you like it's here.\nI myself live a very quite life with an occasional partying every couple of months.

Well, houses are good if you have one. You have to start with everyone, from within, doing their part. People are quite adverse to this.

Renting would give you the most flexibility. Your cash would also be available for investment, emergencies, etc.\n\nIf you rent you don't have worry about upkeep on your home and maybe no yard work. \n\nThe down side, less control over who your neighbors might be. Probably less privacy.

renting vs buying depends on your goals. <br />\ngenerally thinking is that buying is better b/c the payments that would go into the rent start building equity in your home. the govt also incentivizes you to buy by making your property tax payments and mortgage interest payments tax deductible.\nhaving said that current housing status in the bay area is such that housing cost to purchase is relatively high and rental prices (compared to ownership cost) are relatively low (relative to the rest of the country). it makes lese sense to buy vs. other places.\nbottom line you should base your decision on whether you think the market will keep going up or not. the other numbers tend to even out, the main gain or loss in buying comes from appreciation/depreciation.

Yeah, I collect horror films. Hostel was pretty good. I tend to go for the classics though. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The hills have eyes, The last house on the left, Suspiria, etc. (The originals).

Most Housing Assc. dont rent to individuals any more or rather they dont accept them onto the waiting lists.  All the ones I've ever tried only take recommendations from those on the council waiting lists and in need of housing xxx

Owning your own housing is better in the long run.  The payments are fixed if you have a 30 yr loan, where as, an apartment could and most likely will increase each year of the lease.  Banks are more than willing to loan young Dr's or residents for housing purchases because they know they have a very good future ahead of them!
