All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation

What tenancy length do I need?

Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.

Should I stay in catered student accommodation?

This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.

What is a guarantor and do I need one?

A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.

Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?

Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.

What bills will my rent include?

If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.

What is purpose-built student accommodation?

Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.

Will my student accommodation be furnished?

Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Very nice area with a nice walk to the university. The rooms are a nice size and very cosy. The kitchen is spacious and sociable however the sofas are uncomfortable which limits the amount of time we spend in there. I like the residence services activities as there is a good range and they are free. I have done things like yoga and paint classes. The gym is good and very close by and the pool/table tennis tables in the ridge are a good social activity.

Overall, a good place to live, but compared to other flats in Ranmoor, the kitchen and living space is a bit old and outdated. The distance to the main campus is quite far as well, especially since Ravenstones Apartments are some of the furthest buildings in Ranmoor in relation to the main campus.

It's a little far to walk to Uni (about 30 minutes), but there is morrisons/sainsbury's/tesco on the way so its ok. The wifi has a little slow a once, but not to the point that it is an issue.

Bad wifi in some areas and the wet room en suite requires maintenance at times. Good community of people. The launderette has 20 free washes and you can see when they’re available online. Closer to the main road than endcliffe and closer to the bus stop.

Ravenstones is slightly outside of the main areas and is on the fringes of the student village. However it is in a good location if you want a quieter atmosphere and area.

I really enjoy staying in Ravenstones. It's located in Ranmoor village and although less social than Endcliffe, the quite nights and surrounding environment make up for it, it's a lovely place to live and if you're more social it's a 10 min walk from Endcliffe so you're not too far away from the parties.

Ranmoor village itself is brill if you prefer a quieter life. Less hustle and bustle that is found in the other accommodation sites for the University of Sheffield. It's just a little too far away from the university itself for my liking though!
