Sheffield Student Accommodation

Student Accommodation in Sheffield

Ecclesall Road/ Hunters Bar: the golden mile of Sheffield accommodates the majority of student life within the city. Ecclesall Road leads out of the city centre and is littered with bars, pubs, restaurants and shops. Sat just behind the main road are the three catered halls of residence for Sheffield Hallam University, clustered around the collegiate crescent campus. Most 2nd and 3rd year students opt to stay in this area for its bustling way of life and its close proximity to the city centre. It is on a central bus route and is within 15 minutes walk of Sheffield Hallam’s city campus and Psalter lane campus, and also the main Sheffield university campuses. The student accommodation in Sheffield makes up the core of the area and student houses are not hard to find, whether you choose to live at the top end (hunters bar ) or the bottom end which is 5 to 10 minutes closer to the city centre. The heart of the road has a large Tesco supermarket and there is also a 24 hour spar on the hunters bar roundabout, with Endcliffe Park opposite. Opposite Tesco is the botanical gardens, a favourite of students in the summer, whiling the days away with a BBQ and a 4 pack, the gardens get rammed in the summer.

City Centre: There are many student halls of residence in the city centre and many 2nd and 3rd year students choose to live in the heart of the city as the night life is on the doorstep. Grand central stands overlooking West Street, the main drinking and eating area in the centre. Student living couldn’t be more easy as the libraries and pubs/clubs are no more than 10 minutes walk from anywhere in the city centre. Sheffield Hallam has many halls of residence on the train station side of the city, these are not catered but provide a central base from which to tackle student life.

Broomhill/Crookes: This area tends to draw students from Sheffield University although some Sheffield Hallam students are enticed by the cheaper prices of booze and eating out. Student housing is a plenty, with Broomhill lying 5 minutes closer to the city centre than Crookes, but both have excellent bus links to both town and university. Prices do seem to be cheaper than those on Ecclesall Road, maybe due to the fact that it is situated slightly further out of town. It has many shops and a supermarket, the hospital is 5 minutes walk away and the Sheffield university sports hall and 5 a side pitches are also 5 minutes walk away.
