STUDENT ACCOMMODATION SHEFFIELD

From flat shares to HMOs across the city, here’s our guide for all you need to know about student accommodation in Sheffield.

FINDING YOUR STUDENT HOME

WaterBear doesn’t directly offer student accommodation, but we’ve put together a great selection of housing options for you to explore. Sheffield is a busy student town as there are two large universities in the city, so there is plenty of student accommodation to choose from. However, that means there will be lots of other students looking for accommodation too, so we recommend anyone needing accommodation to start the search and register with local agencies as soon as possible.  

TYPES OF ACCOMMODATION 

There’s lots on offer in Sheffield, from dedicated PBSAs (Purpose-Built Student Accommodation) to student HMOs (houses of multiple occupancy), flat shares and single rooms, all of which our network of property agents have access to.  

WATERBEAR STUDENT HOUSEMATES 

If you are looking for others to rent and share with, in addition to working with property agents directly, we provide our offer holders with exclusive access to our Discord server as well as our ‘WaterBear Accommodation’ group on Facebook. It’s a great way to get more advice and also to network with other WaterBear students. We also run live online talks to guide you further.

If you have any specific queries about accommodation or need some help with your property search, please call us on 01273 726230 or email [email protected]
