Private Halls
Sheffield
Generally offer a higher level of amenities than University Halls, at higher rents. Will be home to a more diverse mix of students and normally located close to campus.

A house share with a group of friends is often the lowest cost option and popular as the next step after living in Halls. Typically located in student friendly areas which require some travel to University.

Crookes: You’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who isn’t a student living in Crookes – it is a bit of a student bubble after all. You’ll get fit if you choose to live here anyway, thanks to the proliferation of hills.
Eccleshall Road: Popular with Sheffield Hallam University students thanks to its location, Eccleshall Road is packed full of independent shops, restaurants and cafés, making it the perfect spot for weekend brunch.
Sheffield City Centre: Like with any other city centre, Sheffield city centre is more expensive to live in, but is closer to the bulk of Sheffield's bars, clubs, restaurants and shops.
