Sheffield student accommodation for UoS and Hallam students
Sheffield's two universities sit on opposite sides of the city centre: the University of Sheffield to the west around Western Bank, and Sheffield Hallam by the railway station. Rooms on our Sheffield pages start at around £70 a week, cheap by any big city standard, and most include bills.
Where do University of Sheffield students live?
University of Sheffield students traditionally live west of the centre, in Crookes, Crookesmoor and Broomhill. Read about the campus and its tram stop, those areas, the Endcliffe village, quieter Walkley and Netherthorpe between campus and town.
The campus and its tram stop
The University of Sheffield has its own Supertram stop, named University of Sheffield, and buses 120, 51 and 52 stop on Glossop Road and Western Bank. Most of its buildings sit along Western Bank and Leavygreave, so rooms to the west and north west keep the walk short.
Crookes and Crookesmoor house streets
Crookes and Crookesmoor sit uphill from the university and are classic second year house areas, according to local students. Expect steep streets, terraced shared houses and plenty of takeaways. Crookesmoor is the closer of the two, a short walk down to Western Bank and the Students' Union.
Broomhill is not Broomhall
Students on Sheffield forums warn newcomers not to mix up Broomhill and Broomhall. Broomhill, west of the university, has shops, cafes and many student houses. Broomhall, just south of the campus towards Ecclesall Road, has more purpose built blocks and older flats. Check the postcode before you book.
The Endcliffe student village
The University of Sheffield's own Endcliffe village sits further west, near Broomhill and Ranmoor. Students describe it as bigger than the city sites but further from shops and lectures. Private rooms nearer campus suit students who want a shorter walk without giving up a social first year.
Walkley for a quieter base
Walkley, north of Crookes, is suggested by local students for anyone who wants a less studenty street while staying close to the university. It has independent shops along South Road and views across the valley. Expect a steeper walk home and fewer purpose built options.
Netherthorpe, between campus and town
Netherthorpe sits between the University of Sheffield and the city centre, with a large cluster of purpose built student properties on our pages. Campus and West Street are both a few minutes away on foot from here. Rooms here range from en-suites to studios.
Which area suits Sheffield Hallam students?
Sheffield Hallam's City Campus sits beside the railway station, with health courses at Collegiate Campus off Ecclesall Road. Weigh the station side of town, Ecclesall Road and Sharrow, Park Hill and Norfolk Park, and the Cultural Industries Quarter.
Hallam's City Campus by the station
Sheffield Hallam University's City Campus sits beside the railway station. Travel South Yorkshire lists the Sheffield Station/Hallam University and Castle Square tram stops for it, plus buses into Arundel Gate Interchange. Rooms on the east side of the centre keep your walk to lectures short.
Collegiate Campus for health courses
Hallam's Collegiate Campus, off Ecclesall Road, is home to its health, wellbeing and life sciences courses, while most other teaching runs at City Campus. If you study health, a room near Ecclesall Road or Broomhall cuts the trip. Check your timetable before you choose a side of town.
Ecclesall Road, trendy and dearer
Local students describe Ecclesall Road as trendy, lively and a little more expensive, and it is popular with Hallam students. Bars, cafes and supermarkets line the road, and buses run into the centre often. It suits students who want a neighbourhood feel with nightlife close by.
Sharrow for Hallam students
Sharrow, just south of the city centre and next to Ecclesall Road, is often suggested for Hallam students on a tighter budget. Its terraced streets hold shared houses and a few purpose built properties. Both Hallam campuses are reachable on foot or by a short bus ride.
Park Hill and Norfolk Park
East of the station, Park Hill's restored flats now include student studios sized from small to large, and Norfolk Park beyond is quieter and green. Local students suggest the streets off Park Grange Road for a calm base. The station and City Campus sit a short walk downhill.
The Cultural Industries Quarter
The Cultural Industries Quarter, between the station and the city centre, mixes old workshops with music venues, cinemas and student blocks. It sits right beside Hallam's City Campus, so it suits creative and media students. Expect some late night noise near the venues, so ask for a room away from the street.
Where do students hang out in Sheffield?
Sheffield city centre holds most of the student properties we list, spread from West Street to Kelham Island. Here you will find West Street, Kelham Island, West Bar, Highfield, where students go out and Broad Lane between the two universities.
West Street and Division Street
West Street runs from the University of Sheffield into the city centre, and with Division Street nearby it is where many students go out. It also holds one of the biggest clusters of student properties on our pages. Rooms here put lectures and nights out on foot.
Kelham Island by the River Don
Kelham Island, by the River Don north of the centre, is known for converted works, craft pubs and street food. Its student properties often have some of the lower full year rents on our Sheffield pages, in exchange for a longer walk to either university.
West Bar and Shalesmoor
West Bar and Shalesmoor sit between Kelham Island and the city centre, with several newer student blocks. Many quote a walk of about ten minutes to each university, which suits students with friends at both. The Shalesmoor tram stop is close for wet days.
Highfield, south of the centre
Highfield, just south of the city centre along London Road, has a mix of older streets and student blocks. London Road's restaurants and takeaways are on the doorstep. It is a short walk to Hallam's City Campus and a longer one up to the University of Sheffield.
Where Sheffield students go out
Students asking where to hang out in Sheffield usually hear the same names: West Street and Division Street for bars, Kelham Island for pubs and street food, and the Students' Unions at both universities. Living near any of these keeps your walk home short.
Broad Lane, between both universities
Broad Lane and the streets around it sit roughly between the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam. Properties here quote short walks to both, which helps friends at different universities who want to share. Check the walk to your own building, not just the campus name.
What is the average cost of student accommodation in Sheffield?
Sheffield is one of the cheapest big student cities on our pages. Here you will find typical rent, the cheapest rooms, contract length, rows of shared houses, apartments with cleaning included and one bed flats.
What Sheffield rooms usually cost
Starting prices on our Sheffield pages average around £110 a week, and half sit at about £105 or less. That makes Sheffield one of the cheapest big student cities we cover. Studios cost more, from around £155 to over £300 for the largest city centre layouts.
The cheapest student rooms in Sheffield
Sheffield's lowest rents start at around £70 to £85 a week, usually en-suites in larger flats around Broad Street and Broad Lane. The Pinnacles on Broad Street regularly sits near the bottom of our Sheffield price list. At these prices, check the flat size and the walk to your campus.
Why the shorter Sheffield contract can win
In Sheffield a 44 week contract often has a slightly higher weekly rate than a 51 week one, yet costs less in total. On a room at around £80 a week, the gap can be a few hundred pounds. Multiply rent by weeks for every option you consider.
A row of student houses
Some Sheffield properties offer shared houses in a row, with four bedrooms per house, a shared kitchen and lounge, and bills included. Bramall Court is one example. It gives you house life without a private landlord, which suits friends who want to stay together.
Apartments with cleaning included
A few Sheffield apartments for three or four include a free fortnightly clean of the kitchen and bathrooms, which takes the arguments out of shared living. Rooms in these cost from around £115 a week. Ask what the clean covers and how often it runs.
One bed apartments in Sheffield
Sheffield one bed apartments of about 20 square metres start from around £175 a week, with a separate bedroom and kitchen. Cosmos is one property that has offered them on 41 or 48 week terms. They suit postgraduates and students who work from home.
