Bassett is one of Southampton's most sought-after student areas. Located right next to the main Highfield campus, as well as the Boldrewood campus, it's ideal for students at the University of Southampton who want to be close to their early morning lectures. It's just a short 20-minute walk to Southampton's city centre, meaning Bassett is located centrally between all of the campuses, including the university hospital.

Student homes in Bassett are perfect for students who like being active in their spare time, as it s home to some of Southampton's most popular sporting facilities. The Southampton Sports Centre and the Southampton Snowsports Centre are in the area, so ideal for those who are studying an active degree.

Student houses in Bassett are mostly made up of semi-detached and terraced houses. The area is slightly further away from some of the other popular student areas in Southampton, such as The Polygon and Highfield, which are also great areas.
