I had a very good experience with Best Student Halls. They supported me throughout my accommodation search and were always available to answer my questions. They also did their best to negotiate the price and find an option that suited my budget. They also helped me with the administrative process, which made everything much easier and less stressful. I really appreciated their availability, professionalism, and support throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend Best Student Halls to students looking for accommodation.

Before you chooseCompare a few studios side by side. The gap between the cheapest and the most expensive is wide in Leeds.

The cheapest way to your own room
Non-ensuite rooms are rare in Leeds on our site, but they are among the lowest rents in the city. You share a bathroom with the flat.
Before you chooseAsk how many people share each bathroom.
See Leeds non-ensuite roomsLeeds has one of the biggest student house markets in the UK, centred on Hyde Park, Headingley and Burley, alongside a growing ring of city centre towers. The University of Leeds and Leeds Beckett's City Campus sit side by side, so most students can walk to lectures. Rooms start at around £90 a week.
Student houses Leeds is the city's biggest search after the main accommodation terms. Read about houses against blocks, Hyde Park, Headingley, Burley, Woodhouse and Kirkstall before you sign with friends.
Students on Leeds forums say many British students move into cheaper house shares in Hyde Park, Burley and Headingley after first year, while city centre towers fill with first years and international students. A house splits the bills between you, while a block bundles them. Price both over a full year.
Unipol, the Leeds student housing charity, calls Hyde Park a student heavy area a short walk from the University of Leeds and Leeds Beckett, with the Brudenell Social Club close by. Back to back terraces and Woodhouse Moor give it a busy, social feel all year.
Headingley stretches north along Otley Road, with pubs, cafes and the cricket ground. Unipol puts it about a 35 minute walk or ten minutes by bus from the University of Leeds campus. Students say the name is often used loosely to include Hyde Park and Woodhouse, so check the exact street.
Burley, west of Hyde Park around Burley Road, mixes terraced student houses with a few purpose built properties. It is a little further from campus but often cheaper, and Burley Park station has trains into town. Many students who miss out on Hyde Park houses look here next.
Woodhouse sits right beside the University of Leeds, and Unipol puts it about a ten minute walk from the city centre. Its streets of shared houses run up to Woodhouse Moor. It is the closest house area to campus, so good houses here tend to go early in the year.
Kirkstall, out along Kirkstall Road past Burley, is quieter and further from campus, with Kirkstall Abbey and a retail park nearby. A few student properties, including converted brewery buildings, sit here. It suits students who want lower rent and do not mind a bus or a longer walk in.
The University of Leeds campus sits on the north edge of the city centre, beside Woodhouse and the Leeds General Infirmary. Weigh living on the campus edge, Woodhouse, Unipol's guidance, the city centre and options for health students.
The University of Leeds campus runs along Woodhouse Lane on the north edge of the city centre, about a 15 to 20 minute walk from Leeds station. Most students want a room within a short walk, which puts Woodhouse, Hyde Park and the northern edge of the centre in reach.
The streets and blocks around Woodhouse Moor sit between the campus and Hyde Park, close to the parkland students use for sport and summer barbecues. Purpose built properties here suit first years who want the campus nearby without a city centre tower. Expect busy streets at weekends.
Unipol, a student housing charity backed by the Leeds universities, runs a code of standards for landlords and an online house search. Check that a private landlord or property follows a recognised code before you sign. The university also runs its own residences, booked through its own system.
Leeds city centre holds the largest group of student properties we list, many a 10 to 20 minute walk from the University of Leeds. Living centrally puts the station, Trinity Leeds and the Kirkgate Market on your doorstep. Rooms here cost more than in Hyde Park houses.
Students asking which Leeds accommodation is best usually weigh three things: the walk to their school, flat size and price. Woodhouse and the campus edge score on location, Hyde Park on social life and price, and city centre blocks on facilities. Decide which matters most to you before viewing.
The Leeds General Infirmary sits right beside the University of Leeds campus, where many medicine and health courses are taught. Rooms between the hospital and campus suit students with early starts. Ask about 51 week contracts, as clinical years often run beyond the usual teaching weeks.
Leeds Beckett teaches at City Campus and at Headingley, three miles out, while Leeds Trinity is in Horsforth. Here you will find each campus, the buses between them, and the arts and music colleges near the centre.
Leeds Beckett University says its City Campus is very central, spread over several buildings around Woodhouse Lane and about 15 minutes on foot from Leeds railway station. Central properties suit most courses taught there. Check which building your course uses before you choose a room.
Beckett's Headingley Campus lies three miles from the centre in 100 acres of parkland. The university says bus 22 runs straight there, while the 23, 24 and 27 stop on Otley Road nearby. A free shuttle links the two campuses, and Beckett advises allowing at least 45 minutes between them.
Leeds Arts University sits on Blenheim Walk, beside the University of Leeds and a short walk from Woodhouse. Students on art and design courses often work late in studios, so a room within walking distance matters. Several student blocks on the north edge of the centre fit that.
Leeds Conservatoire sits at Quarry Hill on the east side of the centre, near Leeds Playhouse and the bus station. Music students with late rehearsals often choose a room in the east of the centre or around the Arena. Ask about practice rules and soundproofing before you sign.
Leeds Trinity University sits in Horsforth, north west of the city, well away from the centre. Students there weigh a room nearby against living in Leeds and catching a bus or train out. Horsforth has its own station and a quieter, village feel compared with Hyde Park.
The University of Law's Leeds campus sits in the city centre, so central properties keep the walk short. Law students often study intensively on one year courses, which suits a studio with a long contract. Ask about quiet floors and contract dates that cover your exam period.
Leeds sits between Leicester and Bristol on price, with house shares cheaper and city centre towers dearer. Read on for typical rent, whether Leeds is short of rooms, the new towers, group apartments, one bed flats and couples.
Leeds sits between Leicester and Bristol on price, with a typical room at around £260 a week. Hyde Park and Headingley shared flats pull rents down, while city centre studios near Leeds Beckett push them up. The middle half of Leeds contracts runs from about £180 to £305.
Not on our pages. Developers have added many purpose built blocks in the city centre, and students on Leeds forums say demand for some house areas has eased as a result. Good houses near campus still go early, so start looking for a second year house in good time.
The streets around the First Direct Arena and Merrion Street hold some of the tallest student towers in Leeds, close to Beckett's City Campus and the University of Leeds. iQ Altus House is one example, with studios high above the city. Expect higher rents for the views.
Student apartments for four to eight friends are common in Leeds, with a shared kitchen and lounge and en-suite bedrooms. They suit groups who want house life with bills included and staff on site. Book together and check that every bedroom is the same size and price.
A one bed flat gives you a separate bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, more privacy than a studio. In Leeds they are popular with postgraduates and working students. 26 Great George Street has offered one bed apartments with the kitchen apart from the main room.
Around St Johns Road and Clarendon Road, on the western edge of the University of Leeds campus. A studio there gives you your own kitchen and bathroom in one room, with no shared queues. Asa Briggs House is one example.
