I agree – if you share with non-students then the property will be liable to council tax and this is something you should try and avoid.

I would add to this list:
1) When choosing a major, be sure to consider whether you can get a job in that field later. College education is expensive for most people and you want to make sure your degree will open up some solid career choices for you.

2) Don’t take out more student loans than you absolutely need. $5k here and there really adds up, but you might not realize it until after you’ve graduated and it’s time to pay the bills. So evaluate your financial priorities. Ask yourself: If you’re taking out loans for your education, can you really afford a cable TV subscription, sorority membership, or smartphone?

Good article overall, though.
