Fancy-pants! London students have some oh-so luxurious digs

If you thought the shortage of housing in Dublin was a nightmare, then you should maybe hear about the issue London is dealing with.

In Dublin, plenty of the city’s finest residences are occupied by the super wealthy who have come to study here. London also has a history of oligarchs and sheiks snapping up some of the finest real estate on the market.

Estate agents EJ Harris have new data with shows that super-rich students are filling up some of the city’s finest rental spaces.

Rent in some of the most sought after addresses, Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Kensington, can cost up to €2,000 a week.

The estate agents have noted that "smoking tends to be the only common vice" amongst the students. Otherwise they are almost the perfect tenants."They tend to be quiet, hard working and tidy.”

This is certainly a far cry from what we normally think of when someone says 'student accomodation'. 

How many of your friends floor to ceiling windows in their college houses? 

Do you think any of these students spend their winter nights huddled around the one working radiator? We didn't think so either.
