Some of the most popular places for students in Sheffield to live are:

Broomhill: Within walking distance of the University of Sheffield’s student village, Broomhill is popular with students wanting to live in private housing near to pubs and shops.

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.

Ranmoor: If you’re not a city lover, and want to live somewhere a bit greener then head to Ranmoor, which is only a short bus ride away from the beautiful peak district.

Don’t worry if your student accommodation is not located that close to your Uni in Sheffield, there are plenty of ways to get around. Sheffield's public transport is made up of buses, trains and trams with a variety of travel pass options available on each.

Art & History: The Millenium Gallery is one of the most visited free attractions in the North of England, offering the chance to see some of Sheffield’s unique heritage close up.

Heritage & History: Sheffield has a similar history to Manchester in that it played a major part in the industrial revolution of the 1900s, so the Abbeyvale Industrial Hamlet and Kelham Island Museums are both must see.

Food and Drink: Sheffield is home to many of the familiar national chains we all know and love, but they also have a thriving independent scene too. It is also the birthplace of the UK’s craft beer revolution as well.

Retail: Sheffield has an independent spirit that is reflected in its retail scene and so it is home to many quirky shopping districts that you will want to explore. Don’t worry though, there are also plenty of high street shopping opportunities as well.
