Student Accommodation in Sheffield City Centre

Student housing in Sheffield comes in many forms, from studio flats to university halls to Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA), and Sheffield city centre has it all! Close to both the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University campuses (as well as Sheffield’s high street, nightlife, and cultural highlights), student flats in Sheffield city centre are a fantastic choice for people who enjoy being surrounded by a diverse community.

Although Sheffield student houses tend to be found elsewhere in Sheffield rather than the city centre itself, there's still a wide variety of accommodation options on offer in the centre – from one-bedroom studios and two-bedroom flats to much larger options like six-bedroom homes. So whether you’re bringing your course mates or going it solo, the centre of the Steel City is a great option for all, with something for everyone right around the corner!

What's Near Student Accommodation in Sheffield City Centre?

Student accommodation in Sheffield city centre has fantastic local and national transport connections, whether you’re looking to reach Leeds or Lincoln. Take the tram out to Meadowhall shopping centre, get a bus into the Peak District, or wander around the city to take in the sights and sounds of the bustling and vibrant area you call home. Go for a walk down Division Street to sample the fantastic independent businesses and cafés, such as Copper Pot or Steam Yard, or head to the Showroom Cinema to catch the latest blockbuster or indie film you never knew you needed.

And once the sun has set, the city transforms as the theatre district (including the world-renowned home of snooker at The Crucible) opens up. West Street clubs also throw open their doors, and students from all around descend to soak up the city’s nightlife. And while students who live in suburbs like Crookes and Broomhill begin their journeys home from town, those lucky enough to live in student accommodation in Sheffield city centre only have a short walk back!
