From student digs to flat shares and HMOs across the city. Here’s our guide for all you need to know about student accommodation at WaterBear Sheffield.
WaterBear does not provide student accommodation directly. However, we work closely with a number of local agencies in Sheffield to help source the best possible accommodation for you. Sheffield is a busy student town as there are 2 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.
We work with the following property agencies to help source accommodation in Sheffield.
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 of getting more advice and information on all things accommodation related, and also to network with other WaterBear students who are looking for likeminded musicians to live with.
