Hi,
In January 2007, I will begin my PhD in UK. Now I am searching for accommodation in Manchester. I am checking some internet sites for flat sharing such as www.flatshare.com , www.clickflatshare.com. Firstly, I would ask are there any other sites for finding shared flats especially offered for PhD students?
And there are some points that I cant understand on this site.
I guess for the rent “pw” means per week, and “pcm” means per month? what is letter c in “pcw”?
While sharing a flat, is there a official procedure(such as signing some documents and giving them to an official bureau)? or is it all informal? As an international student, what I have to pay attention most in this documents?

Here are a few more sites for you...
www.spareroom.co.uk
uk.easyroommate.com
www.studentaccommodation.org
PCM = Per Calendar Month and PCW = Per Calendar Week
When renting you usually need to sign a Tenancy Agreement and pay somewhere in the region of a months rent as a bond/deposit which you get back once you leave the property (this money will be used to pay for any damages that you may cause while living there)
Here is a quick guide to renting :- http://www.ukstudentlife.com/Life/Accommodation/Guide.htm
