I believe Wales may give more generous loans than England which isn't very fair as we are one country and pay the same income tax but there you go....
On the questions:
"How do you find the Living Accomodation?"
The above is easy. Once you have your preferred offer in the Spring of the year you are going there is then a deadline for applying on line for what is usually in the first year university owned halls of residence. My sons who are in year 2 now chose in year 1 halls with breakfast and dinner provided. Some people prefer to cook their own meals and pick self catering places. We avoided anywhere you might have to share a room.
At Bristol the deadline for accommomdation applications is set out on line. You may not get your first choice (although my sons both did) and the deadline is after the date when everyone will have had their offers for places (subject to A levels).So you apply on line around April ish time, may May? My children have never applied for their seocnd choice university accommodation just the first.
Then in August you get your A level results and if they are high enough you get your place confirmed and told your accommodation.
" Do we have to find a deposit etc or is there a Student Loan to cover that?"
In the first year you usually go into halls of residence and there is no deposit for those. I believe if you apply for hte loan in time the money comes in time to pay the university and that you pay each term or twice a year.
By about December of year 1 however in many places they wll be looking for a year 2 house so you might need some kind of deposit for that - from memiory one of my sons paid abotu £130 in the Dec for starting the rented house from 1 July 2018 or something like that. You have to rent those year 2 houses over the summer even though you won't be there.
Some universities are different and some you are in halls/college accommmodation all 3 years.
"Does the rent normally inc all bills" - halls of residence which are a nice way to go from home to university life rather than some random rented house - include all bills although my son did insure his mobile and laptop separately for £6 a month as they were brand new. in year 2 which my 2 are now in they pay about £46 a month for bills each i (no council tax, but gas, electric, wifi is in that sum).
"Do most students try and find a job to fund living costs or is it the norm for parents to support ? "
It is very hard to generalise. I am very unusual. I pay the £9250 fees, halls of residence or house rent plus a weekly allowance. So ignore me. Lots of parents pay the rent and let the student live off the maintenance loan which I think goes from £4k for the well off to about £7k for the worse off - Wales may be different. Others the child finds the cheapest halls or house they can and hope to live on the difference between the maintenance loan and the rent perhaps taking a job too but it is very hard to generalise.
What is important is to check the maximum maintenance loan as that is basically what the state thinks parents should make it up to. (outside London not living at home £8944 for example - in some places that may be enough for your rent and your food etc.
If you just get the minimum maintenance loan of about £4k and your parents do not make it up to the full one then you have to try to find a job. ../
pause to check wales - yes as i thought - The Welsh pay the same taxes as England but their children get a better deal. It is not fair at all.
There we are:
"Maintenance Grant
All eligible students can claim a minimum £1,000 grant to assist with the living costs of going to university. This is regardless of household income, nor does this have to be paid back.
Students from lower income households will be eligible to receive higher grants. The maximum amount available (for students from households with an income of £18,370 or less) will be £10,124 for Welsh students studying in London and £8,100 for those studying in the rest of the UK.
These higher grants will be means-tested in order to assess how much students should receive, so they have the appropriate support. Again, this does not have to be paid back. "
