Personal comments
There is a government sceme CAF which will aid students with there rent. Try to get in contact with people who are studying there who may be able to leave there furniture, appliances etc. If not there are plenty of second hand furniture stores normally situated outside of the town. Also many foreign students are given the opportunity to become language assistants to earn some extra cash.
