Tell you something that pisses me off. My son went off the uni last year (in Edinburgh of all places). He was in halls, comprising 5 individual bedrooms sharing a kitchen/sitting area. EACH of the five rooms needed its own TV license!!! None if them had a TV but they needed a license because they all had laptops that could stream iPlayer if they wanted. It’s a total rip off. I’ve also been waiting 2 months for the refund I’m due as he’s only there 9 rather than 12 months. Utter rip off!

That rings a bell - something to do with being behind a locked door (or that's the rumour I remember from my first year which wasn't yesterday).

They'd not have needed it just because they could stream though - only if they actually wanted to/did.

Agree with the principle though that it should have been 1 license for the flat.

From a student union web page....

You'll probably only need one licence between you if you have a joint tenancy agreement for the whole house – this is the most common type of shared house arrangement. You might need your own licence if your accommodation is self-contained – if you have exclusive access to washing facilities, or your own entrance to the property. You will also need your own licence if you have a separate tenancy agreement for your own room. If you're not sure,*check our advice for tenants and lodgers.

Won't my parents' licence cover me?

Your parents' licence will not cover you while you're away at uni, UNLESS you only use a device that's powered solely by its own internal batteries and not connected to the mains power supply.
