Student let
STYOO-dent let
Neutral Neutral
What it really means
A property rented specifically to students, usually on a 12-month joint contract starting in summer, advertised from autumn the year before. Landlords expect a guarantor for each student. The rush to sign early is often exaggerated — good houses remain in spring.
Chinese explanation
专门租给学生的房源，通常是从夏季开始的12个月联合合同，前一年秋天就开始招租。房东一般要求每个学生提供担保人。"再不签就没了"的紧迫感常被夸大——春天仍有不少好房。
Example conversation

B: Don’t panic — plenty of good student lets are still around after Christmas.
A：才11月，大家都开始签明年的房子了！
B：别慌——圣诞节后仍有很多不错的学生房。
