STUDENT
ACCOMMODATION
Sheffield is a notoriously cheap place to
live - hopefully meaning that your funds
won’t be reduced to the point where
you’re living off baked beans in the final
weeks of term. The average rent in 2013
was £69 pounds, a good £10 cheaper
than the national average of £79.42.
If you’re studying at The University of
Sheffield, Crookesmoore seems to be
the area in which students congregate;
it has a 64% student satisfaction rating.
The average rent is £68 a week here; in
line with the average for Sheffield.
It is, however, Broomhall and its S1
postcode counterparts that hold the
highest (82%) satisfaction rating. This
area is one that really ticks all the boxes
– it’s minutes away from the University,
local amenities, nightclubs and transport
links, although rent is slightly higher at
£73 a week. Unfortunately, while houses
are in abundance in Sheffield, Broomhall
and S1 postcoded areas will get swiped
up quickly – so bear that in mind!
