We are proud to be the provider of an independent ratings and review resource for students looking to stay in private halls, and as a result we have developed a certain level of expertise when it comes to accommodation.


Yet we find ourselves answering all manner of enquiries regarding the student experience, from how to navigate the London tube, to where best to go out dancing in Bolton!


One request for help we noticed popping up time and again from international students was advice regarding visas.


We weren’t fully aware of all the particulars of the UK visa system, and our crew manning the helpdesk were sometimes reluctant to advise on such a complicated issue. So that’s why we made the decision to invest our time in a research project to get right to the heart of the matter. After studying the literature provided by the home office it soon became apparent why it was so confusing to people; although the information was comprehensive it wasn’t very accessible.


That's when the concept came to us of creating a user friendly app that could assist in the process. We were fortunate that one of our live chat operators, Oscar, was also a computer wizz and together with our content team embarked on putting together the UK Study Visa app.


After much painstaking work here it is; a free gift to all who want to download it. It is a companion tool for all you prospective students around the world considering study in the UK, and Hallbookers way of welcoming you to our little isle, which just so happens to be full of excellent universities!
