Student accommodation in Sheffield

Yes, you can. All our student housing in Sheffield is self-catering so you can prepare your favourite meals whenever you like. The shared kitchens in our properties are lively, sociable spaces where you can cook together - or separately, if you prefer. Or, if you like the idea of having the kitchen all to yourself, take a look at our studios and apartments - they each have their own private kitchen.

Yes, it is. We offer dual occupancy as an option for some of our studios and apartments, so you can rent and live together as a couple. 

Yes, you can. Our properties are available to students at all stages of their studies.

Sheffield was voted the safest large city in the UK in 2020. However, as with any major city, it's always wise to be aware of the potential for crime. The good thing is that with Student Roost, you'd have teams on site 24/7, secure fob access, window limiters and CCTV in communal spaces. In the unlikely event of an incident, we also offer free insurance with Endsleigh for all our residents.

Sheffield offers affordability, a friendly student community, and was voted the "safest large city" in the UK in 2020. There's plenty of things to do in Sheffield for every taste too. You can find out more in our Sheffield city guide.

Congratulations! You’ve got a place on a course through clearing and you’re going to university; but what happens next?

Well, the first thing you need to do is accept the offer of study sent to you by the university. You’ll need to do this via UCAS. Once this is done and it’s all confirmed, you’ll also need to let your student finance provider know if there are any changes to your original application, such as a change in the university you’re attending, the course you’re studying, and the length of the course.

It’s also important that you find and confirm your accommodation. Options for last minute accommodation can be limited, so let us help you take away the stress. At Student Roost, we have accommodation in 21 UK cities. Upgrade your student living and become a part of our student community.
