5 luxurious student cribs you won’t believe are real

22 May 2017

As you sit eating baked beans on toast for the third day in a row, it’s hardly likely you will be heading to your in-house jacuzzi to chill before starting on that assignment.

For regular students, student dorms are basic stuff: a bed, desk, sink and a cupboard all crammed into as small a space as possible. If you’re lucky, you get a dusty shelf or two.

But for the “irregulars”, student living isn’t about stretching every penny and slogging away at summer jobs – it’s about living large and loud… because no way are these lucky folk giving up on the creature comforts of home, just because they are foreigners studying abroad.

“Some wealthy overseas students in Mayfair from the Middle East, North America, Asia and Africa can afford to pay over £2,000 per week for luxurious apartments in Mayfair,” a London property agent, Weatherell was quoted to have said back in 2015 by The National.

But London isn’t the only city with opulent properties for the well-heeled college student.

Check out these 5 luxurious student properties from all over the world:
