Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best ways to find student houses?
Sheffield Hallam University has this useful guide about all things student housing in Sheffield. They suggest using the website Studentpad or searching for landlords on their Snug scheme, a list of properties approved by both the University and Sheffield Council.
When is the best time to find student houses?
According to Sheffield Hallam University, landlords in the city usually start advertising properties for the next academic year around November. It’s important to start looking early so you still have plenty of choice, but it’s also important to ensure you find the right housemates first! Sheffield Hallam recommends waiting until after the Christmas break to sign a tenancy agreement. This is especially useful if you’re a first year looking for second year housing, as you don’t know your prospective housemates as well!
What if I want to live in student halls again?
The University of Sheffield says that you can live in university-owned accommodation after first year, but you have to apply. These applications often open in November but priority is given to incoming first years. There are also private student halls if you didn’t secure a spot in the university-owned ones, which are also good options as they’re usually close to the city centre. You can find a useful list of private student halls in Sheffield here.
