Residence life

We are proud to be leading the scene with our Residence Life scheme. Residence Life helps students settle into University, introduce you to new things, meet new people and learn new skills. 

Every week there are loads of opportunities to get involved, from five-a-side football, dance lessons and weekly fitness classes to music lessons, film nights and cultural celebrations. You can meet new people and try new things.

Look out for your weekly email for all the latest updates. If you'd like to get involved in events and activities or organise your own, get in touch! Please let us know if you think our programme is missing something.

The area

So green, peaceful and safe. Sheffield is lucky enough to have an incredible city life full of music, art and culture, as well as being on the doorstep of the beautiful Peak District and Derbyshire. Our accommodation is an easy commute to the university, and if you don't fancy walking, there are bus stops close to all of our accommodation. 

Our rooms

So quirky and full of character. We have a range of properties, including period buildings that have been refurbished for our students. We have a range of room types to choose from, such as en-suites, standard accommodation and studios. All of our accommodation is a great option if you want a community experience.

Self Catered 

All our rooms are self-catered. This provides flexibility for our students around their studies and social life. They have a choice of when to cook and what to cook.

A global reputation

Sheffield is a research university with a global reputation for excellence. We're a member of the Russell Group: one of the 24 leading UK universities for research and teaching.
