Sheffield is an exciting, vibrant and affordable city to live in. That means you can spend more of your student budget on making the most of your student life, meet new people and build friendships. Living in halls of residence is not only fun but also one of the best ways to connect with other students.

When applying for accommodation through Sheffield Hallam, you can choose from 13 different properties that vary in price and facilities, all conveniently located within walking distance of both campuses. There are no hidden costs, as all bills are fully inclusive.

Additionally, you’ll have access to various support services both within the halls of residence and from the University, ensuring a comfortable and supported living experience in the heart of Sheffield.
