The University of Sheffield
Prospective Undergraduates

Accommodation

University accommodation is not just somewhere to eat, sleep and study. We think it should be a comfortable, safe setting for you to live in, with a supportive, close-knit community around you. Our accommodation and the services we offer are designed with this in mind.

The best student accommodation in the UK

Our University accommodation was voted best in the UK by students in the 2011 Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey and we were named Best Student Housing at the 2012 College and University Business Officers (CUBO) awards.

You choose

We want you to make the most of your experience, that's why flexibility and choice are at the heart of everything we offer. Whether you choose city or village living, catered, self-catering or a mixture of both, the same high standards of facilities and support are available to you.

The student villages

With a range of catered and self-catering properties in the leafy suburbs to the west of the city, our student villages offer an exciting student living experience. There's a mix of more traditional converted houses and Victorian mansions alongside modern apartments and flats.

In the Endcliffe Village there are some great facilities and services for our students, including two bars, a dining room, café, internet café, launderettes, study space, IT facilities and tennis courts.

Endcliffe Village

Our newest village is the Ranmoor Village, home to around 1,000 students in modern en-suite self-catering apartments. The Ridge is the social centre where you can find the popular Ridge Bar which offers a relaxing place to meet friends and enjoy a home-cooked meal.
