The University of Sheffield
Student Handbook

Accommodation after your first year

Do not commit yourself to a landlord or to housemates before Christmas. There will be plenty of accomodation available in Spring and Summer and you will know other students better.

University accommodation is not just for first years. More and more second years, third years, postgraduates, mature students and families are choosing to live in University apartments and houses.

It’s not like when you apply for accommodation in your first year; as a returner, you can choose exactly where you
live and who you live with. You can live with your friends, or if you’re on your own, you’ll be given accommodation with like-minded students. Plus, all bills are included in the rent so it’s totally hassle free. To find out more, visit

You can also find out about renting private student accommodation at propertywithUS, located in the Students’ Union building or by visiting
