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 kind..interactive, social,Respect and courtesy, Mahad is very good in talking, solving problems of any tenant. (Mahad)
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate the feedback! – Student Roost
The staff here always go above and beyond to help students. The location is perfect however the price to rent is way too high for the experience here. There was also no disclaimer to students living in the property that the building would be listed on booking.com for non-students. There is no discount for loyal students returning for another year however if you book now you can receive a big discount- this is very disappointing. Laycock Studios seems like a neglected property as it is the smallest out of the Student Roost company. Sadly I will not be rebooking for a third year as the price does not match the expectations.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are very sorry to hear you will not be joining us again at Laycock Studios for your third year. We value all resident feedback and use it to further improve our services for current and future residents. - Student Roost
Angel is a credit to the team here at laycock studios, she is always a friendly face you know that you can speak to regarding any problems. The staff here are lovely however the recent changes to management have left me less than pleased. Having lived here for 3 years I just get charged more and more rent I’ve had 1 maintenance requests in the entire time I’ve lived here and as of next year will be paying nearly £1000 in rent per month for a singular room which I think is unfair. They introduced a dual occupancy fee after we rebooked which I wasn’t aware of when rebooking. Management doesn’t understand the concept of people having fixed pay dates and will force staff to call students harassing them for rent even if there os a not on the account stating a specific pay date even though we have never missed a payment. There is no value for the customer either you get pressured to rebook only for them to release a load of discounts at a later date it’s very disappointing.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. While I’m pleased to hear you’ve found Angel and our other team members to be so friendly and helpful, I’m sorry to hear of the other aspects of your stay that have negatively impacted your experience. Our team would be happy to look into some of the issues you’ve raised further, including the point you’ve raised around dual occupancy. We’d keen to speak to you about your experience, so that we can improve our services for current and future residents. You can contact your property directly with more information, or complete the Feedback and Complaints form on our website (www.studentroost.co.uk/feedback-and-complaints) and someone will reach out to you. We appreciate your feedback. Many thanks - Student Roost

Totally worth it. Enjoying my stay here.
All good! amazong place lovely staff
Amazing accommodation great staff very lovely place.
I used to stay in another Student Roost accommodation before Laycocks but I’m so glad that I moved to Laycocks instead because the room I got is spacious and pertaining to my needs.
The environment is beautiful and clean, the room is large and comfortable to live in, and there is 24 hours security to ensure safety
The room was large and comfortable, and the management was responsible and friendly
Good Location, lovely staff, was a lovely student accommodation, would’ve stayed here for next year but unfortunately they’ve added a Dual occupancy Fee which makes it quite expensive now.. would still reccommned.!
Laycock studios was a beautiful place to stay, so homely, modern and the rooms are just decorated and set out perfectly. Absolutely loved living there for the last year!
Conveniently close to the train station, tram line, bus stops/station as well as the city centre. Reception staff are very friendly and helpful. Maintenance team are efficient and quick in responding to problems.
An overall pleasing experience, that is further improved by amazing customer service and facilities. It’s a must book if you’re looking for a peaceful and clean stay.
The CSAs are great: to name Angel, Lewis, Nezar and Jordan!
Really love Laycock studios which really worth for money. The room is so spacious and everything is up to date! The location is perfect to McDonald’s and city centre as well! There is a hill behind the train station which is a 3 mins walk away from Laycock. I will definitely miss laycock studios soon!
Laycock Studios is a great student accommodation option for both Sheffield Hallam and University of Sheffield students. The internet / WiFi speeds are fast from any room and free for multiple devices. The location is great for commuters - right next to the Sheffield train and bus stations stations.
Nice accomondation, good value for money. With dual occupation free.
The reception people are very nice, Friendly and always available to help us. A great place to stay. Very Good atmosphere.
Good and lively place to live in and value for rent amount paid monthly.
Everything about this place is perfect. Close to uni and the train station, great social spaces and the staff go above and beyond for the residents
Wonderful staff, great wifi, close to train station, Sheffield Hallam and tram stop so it is easy to get to both unis and also to Meadowhall.
Laycock studios are in a great city centre location only 5 minutes away from Sheffield Hallam University and 2 minutes away from the train station. The building is new and the premises are modern. It is good value for money compared to other accomodations and particurlarly good for couples as the price can be shared. Most importantly, the staff are friendly, hands on and always here to help.
Living here is the best decision I've made with my partner! There is a lot of room for both of us and we even chose the bronze studio. The value for money is really great and the staff in reception especially Emily 😊 are always helpful and friendly. The facilities are excellent too such as the gym and the common room. We've decided to book for next year because it's such good value, easy to get to the town centre and university buildings. Thank you!
It is great value for money for people who share there rooms , it is great when being close to the town centre , amazing staff ! Lovely people that live here too. I have rebooked for next year and am happy to say I live here.
Simply Amazing! Staff so friendly, modern rooms, any queries dealt with straight away!! Will be sad to leave :(
Decent accommodation, reception are friendly and helpful
A really enjoyable experience, especially with reception, being very helpful. Very good value for money.
The staffs are really helpful and friendly :) The room is clean and comfy.
Residence correcte mais ne veulent pas redonner le montant de la caution... Correct accommodation but no refund of the guarantre deposit (studio left and paid in May and still not refunded (august) after many mails sent. Awful !
Brilliant accommodation, a 3-minute walk from the uni, 1 minute from the train station, no fee for having multiple people per flat, large flats, cheap rent, onsite gym, nice social area, amazing team, let us off the last rent instalment due to COVID-19, an all-round amazing place to live!
Perfect location for Sheffield Hallam University and as close to the train station you can get. Staff are so lovely and go above and beyond to help with your enquiries. Security is always on site so it's very secure. This is the perfect accomodation for students who like their own space and privacy.
It’s been a pleasure living at Laycock for 2 years now. The staff are friendly and tend to your needs whether it’s through phone call, email or face-to-face. Frances has been really helpful whenever I had any issues! Communal areas are cosy and usually decently cleaned. The only thing I would criticise on is the lack of cleaning of the outside windows of the rooms - they can get quite dirty and it’s unclear how long they’ve gone without a clean. Overall, it has been a pleasant experience and I have rebooked once again.
Covid-19: During this difficult time, Laycock Studios have been extremely helpful in cancelling studio contracts for the rest of the academic year, with no hidden fees. They have also allowed to keep belongings in rooms until it is safe to properly move out!
Exceptional spacing in studios for the weekly bronze pricing, with plenty of furniture provided in the rooms too with space to organise personal belongings. All facilities were great, and any minor issues I noticed were fixed within a day of reporting it and never experienced any issues that were requiring urgent repair. Good spaced bathroom with shower and plenty of storage space in there too. Some studios had less cupboards in the kitchen area, however did have the same space for boxes or own built shelves to place underneath. Only issue with the WiFi was during the storm as it had cut off the line and therefore needed to be fixed by the Ask4 company. Overall really happy with this accommodation and gutted had to cut it short due to the Covid-19 but that was personal choice.
Covid-19: Helped providing additional cleansing around the building from the start of this pandemic. In addition to this, I was provided with the ability to apply for early release and not have to pay for the remaining of the rents due to moving to my grandparents to help them more. Frances Prendergast in particular maintained emails to me during this early release to ensure that I had all my items and make sure I was ok in general.
I have had the best experience living at Laycock Studios! It is by far the best value for money you get that I found after looking around so many different studios! Frances was the biggest help when the studio I wanted (bronze) was fully booked and soon as one became available again she emailed me straight away and I managed to secure mine! A big thank you to her!! She was so helpful throughout the whole process! Staying here really accommodated my situation and paying for rent was made so easy, I was able to pay online monthly during the summer while I was working full time then began to pay termly once I started back at university in line with my student finance. Complete stress free!! Reception is always manned 24/7 which is always so useful and makes you feel very secure! It also means you never miss a parcel delivery!! The staff really do make you feel at home, they seem to remember everyone’s name which is lovely. The location is absolutely perfect as well!
Covid-19: My tenancy wasn’t meant to end until September 2020 but due to the outbreak they have enabled us us to have an early release cancellation free of charge (move out April 30th) which has been amazing. They even offer the option to pay weekly if you are unable to move out by the date so it really does suit everyone’s needs! I know of some people with different accommodation providers in Sheffield do not have this benefit. Overall, they have been amazing!
All the staff are super helpful and they are giving their best to help us out even in this difficult time. Frances was super nice too, she helped me quite a lot whenever I needed a hand. The location of this acc is good, very convenient. It has everything that we need, the best part is rebookers don’t have to move our stuff when we are away.
Covid-19: Yes, they’ve offered to refund us from May to the end of the contract, very heartwarming cause they understand our difficulties
Best accommodation choice by far, the staff is always friendly and willing to help, feel secure at all times. Great facilities and study areas. It's also literally 2 minutes away from the train station. Thank you for a lovely experience!
Covid-19: I was able to empty my room before the final payment and they waived the last payment. SO helpful!
Laycock Studios was by far the best accommodation I have stayed at during my three years at Sheffield Hallam. Safe and secure, you don’t have far to walk after a late-night library session. The on-site team are all great - Fran seems to know everyone by name and James is always friendly and chatty! I had a few noise issues but Dan and the night security were great with resolving any disturbances! The social spaces and facilities are perfect. At the start of the year, the team held a pizza party which was a fun way to meet your neighbours. The only issue was that the intercom system didn't work, otherwise, everything else was perfect! I was sad to leave my flat, Laycock Studios really did become a home away from home!
Covid-19: Student Roost were fantastic with allowing tenancy agreement to end from May, if required.
We came here when this building first opened and have stayed for over 2 and half years. We have thoroughly enjoyed living here. Staff are great!
Covid-19: Changes to the cancellation policy allowed many to get out of their contract to return home to family due to the closures of university.
A good student accomondation, with spacious studios and friendly staff, especially Frances and Dan.
Moved into building after an awful experience with another set of studio flats and was instantly amazed at the difference between the two. Lovely building with amazing staff, I really feel at home here.
It’s my third year to live in Laycock Studios. It’s s a great place for students. Location is so convenient. Room is value for money. The staff are super nice and friendly, especially Frances always helps me with no matter what I need.
Laycock studios is a great place to live as a student, especially if you want a studio so you can have your own space and still have the option to use the social spaces, like the study room, common room, gym. The only downside to the site is the cost is quite high for a Gold/Platinum studio, however it is worth it if you can afford it. I feel really safe and happy living here and wish I could live here even after finishing university! The team on site are great, Fran, Dan, Nezar and James really make it a cosy family environment, and are always willing to help or just have a chat! Absolutely love it here and can’t recommend it enough.
Amazing size room for the money, great facilities, lovely staff members, great service and more. The staff go above and beyond what’s expected to ensure that my experience at this accommodation is the best I could have. My room was spotless on arrival and so was the rest of the building. Whilst it’s next to the main road, there are windows which block the noise out.
Best student home for value. A home away from home
great staffs ; really nice studios ; very sad to be leaving ; would recommend to everyone
Laycock studios is great value for money and has super helpful and very friendly staff. When I had any problems in regards to my room Nezar made sure he sorted as soon as he could.

Laycock Studios is conveniently located near the city center.Secondly, The staff members are very helpful, Nezar quickly resolved the problems I was having. Lastly, the common areas are always well kept and the rooms are nicely designed.
