When I first moved in, I was blown away by how cozy and welcoming it felt. The rooms are spacious and have everything you need to make yourself comfortable. The people who work here are super nice and always ready to lend a hand if you need anything. The common areas are great too – they're clean and inviting, which is perfect for hanging out with your new dorm-mates. Plus, the dorm is in a really convenient spot. It's easy to get to the dining hall, the library, and all the fun spots on campus. In short, I had an amazing time here, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to live on campus.

Q
I'm planning to go to Sheffield as an exchange student in spring semester next year. I've been finding dorms to live and found out that Straits Manor have really good comments. I would be very happy to live here, but I've noticed that you only sell dorms for 44 or 51 weeks. I would be staying in UK for only 20 weeks or so and is it possible to make a contract for this period? If possible, how much

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.

Great location, friendly receptionists, and clean social spaces. The best student accommodation I've experienced so far. Only wish that there was more kitchen counter space and sockets. And there is a bit of a problem with fruit flies in the kitchen.

I am deeply disappointed with Prestige Student, Straits Manor. The security staff physically attacked me while I was trying to collect a parcel, leaving me bleeding. Despite reporting the incident, the management has shown no concern for tenant safety or well-being. This place is unsafe and their disregard for tenants' safety is alarming. Avoid at all costs. I've lived here for 2.5 years and the management team has consistently ignored tenant concerns. Despite emailing and speaking to them multiple times, they disregard serious issues, even with photo evidence. The management showed no concern. They have repeatedly discouraged me from getting parcels except at certain times. This place is unsafe and unresponsive to tenant needs. Avoid living here.

Absolutely lovely place to stay, my flatmates have turned into some if my best friends, the receptionists downstairs are sweet as, I sit and have tea with them sometimes if im bored. Not bored often though as we have a lovely clean gym and cinema room and we’re a 15 minute walk from the main pubs and clubs and 20 minute walk from the centre of the university of Sheffield campus.

Ideally located in the heart of Sheffield City Centre. All amenities are just on the door step within just a few steps away. A great value for money as we are not just paying for our rooms and bills included in our rent but for the 24-hour staffing in house. Speaking of the staff, they are polite and welcoming. They will bend over backwards to help everyone in house and always have a smile on their faces.. The social spaces and events are always really good, the staff go all out at making the student experience amazing, they always have loads of different events happening in house. The internet is really good at Straits Manor, however after you have connected 5 devices you will need to pay for an upgrade to allow for more devices. All in all, I would highly recommend Straits Manor to any and all students attending either Sheffield Hallam or University of Sheffield.

I really liked Straits Monor and the team working at the flat. When I first moved in here it was relatively new, I bought some deliveries two days before I moved in and I was prepared to go to reception to pick up many, many deliveries, but to my surprise the staff thoughtfully put them in my room, which I really appreciated. The flat is in a great location, close to the supermarket and my academic building. The transport is also very convenient, there is a bus stop right downstairs. The flat hosts monthly events for us to attend and we can meet new people. Most importantly, the flat has a good security system, so you don't have to worry too much about safety when you live here. Every time I pass by the front desk of the flat, the team members greet me with a smile, which makes me feel very warm. Also, I can see the blue sky and white clouds outside my window every day through the floor-to-ceiling windows and I can see the beautiful scenery, which is really healing. I love here!!!

The best student accomodation I have ever lived in. The place is really clean the staff is very friendly and the maintenance team responds rapidly to whatever the problem is. As a southeast Asian didn't find many people from my country there so the social experience isn't very great for me but otherwise this place is one of the best places to stay if ur in Sheffield.

Last year before coming to sheffield for my studies, I was pretty dreaded regarding my stay here. I remember stumbling across student crowd website to read reviews regarding various properties in Sheffield to shortlist a few of them for my consideration. Straits Manor was ranked the highest out of all, I was a bit skeptical about the all time positive reviews the place had received at first, but after spending a whole year in a studio flat at their accomodation cleared all my worries in the very first few days of my stay. The accomodation deserves every bit of appreciation that they have gotten so far. The rooms are pricey as the accomodation is right in the city centre on West Street, which is almost a social hub as well it is closer to almost all grocery stores and supermarkets nearby. The rooms are clean, spacious enough and loaded with everything one may need during their stay here. Maintanence issues are all addressed on time. Overall it was a great experience.

I greatly appreciate how helpful, friendly and flexible the staff at Straits Manor are. The location is unbeatable - near the University of Sheffield and a stone's throw away from the city centre, which means peripheral locations like Meadowhall and the Northern General Hospital are also easily accessible. Common areas are really clean. Air-conditioning in the room is very useful on a hot summer's day. Highly recommend!

One of the main reasons I enjoy studying in Sheffield is 'living in Straits Manor'. I live in a studio and it's just as lovely as I envisioned. It's location is the most convenient, close to most university buildings and the city center. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, and help us socialize with other students in the accommodation by organizing occasional events. Overall, a great experience!!!

If I was studying another year, I’d stay here again at Straits Manor. My room is nice, but I would have preferred a room facing the front. However, I booked late.

Great, friendly, welcoming staff, who hold various events, including a pumpkin carving competition that I won. Great common room and students living here are nice. There are not so many pot heads like my previous accommodation. The room is nice, although doesn't get much sun. Wish there was more draws, you only get one, lots of shelves, but it can be an eyesore with all your textbooks and work in your face. Cinema room is decent, should come with instructions though.

I’m a Spanish Erasmus Student doing the first semester at Sheffield Hallam University. It was my first experience in student accommodation and I’m very happy. There are many activities that the residence organizes, and it is well-equipped with shared areas and the team is very friendly. My room is a classic studio which is ideal for me and I’ve enough space if I have a friend or family visiting me.

As a short stay accommodation over summer, Straits Manor was in a perfect location for me to be able to walk to the University of Sheffield buildings, as well as to explore the area, with brilliant transport links via tram just outside the front entrance and the city centre within walking distance. Knowing that there was security overnight was very reassuring too, and really helped to make Straits Manor feel like a safe environment to call home in a busy part of the city. The staff were all friendly and helpful and even regularly put out sweets and treats for people to pick up at reception! My room itself was incredible, I had all of the facilities I needed to be self sufficient and comfortable for my stay. Thank you so much to everyone at Straits Manor for making my time in Sheffield brilliant!

Good front desk service attitude, there are people on duty on weekends and can be contacted anytime. The apartment is located in the heart of the city center, on West Street, very close to the school and library, only ten minutes' walk, and not far from various colleges. There is a City hall tram station at the door, and there are three lines, you can go to Meadowhall, school and so on. There are Tesco Metro, M&S, and Boots, life can be said to be very convenient.

The location is really very good and easy to go to the city centre for shopping or any daily things, I can even say this is the best address in Sheffield and you can just take 30 seconds go out for a drink. In addition, the security and the the apartment staff is very responsible. Thanks.

Straits Manor is located in city central, where is very convenient for us, and it closes to supermarkets, like tesco and MS, and library. Then, the reception is so friendly! If equipment has some technical problems they will check them in a timely manner. Besides, the apartment has always been very clean, my room is pretty and there are gym and a lot of entertainment equipment. All in all, I enjoy living here!

I think this student house is one of the most convenient flats in Sheffield. It takes less than a few minutes to walk to a variety of supermarkets with different functions. In particular, it takes five minutes to walk to Sheffield city centre, and it only takes ten minutes to walk to the school library. All rooms are fully equipped, including gym, laundry room, study room, cinema and so on. In a word, everything here provides us students with great convenience.

I think the apartment is very good. First of all, the location is very good. It is very convenient to go to the grocery shopping library to study. At the same time, the decoration style is also very good, and there are many good service staff. It is more convenient to go out, the exit is the city hall. Every time you can go shopping far away in Sheffield. The price is very cheap, because I ordered the studio, which has 25 square meters of space, and there are discounts for all-year reservations. In the morning, the front desk will also provide a variety of snacks and beverages to drink. Great!

I have lived here for 2 years - just signed on for a 3rd! Location is great, very close to both unis and the tram is also very close by which makes it easy to get around other areas of the city and to the train station, Meadowhall etc. Building is generally very well maintained, staff are friendly and helpful and answer queries quickly. The facilities like the gym and cinema room are also really nice. I have found the building is quite quiet even though it’s in a busy area which is great if you’re looking to study from your room. My studio is quite spacious and everything in it is very new.

A lovely accommodation!!! I have lived in here for a year since it opened and I continued my contract for another 1 year. The location is really good, within 5 mins walk to Tesco and M&S. And only 1 mins walk to John Lewis! You can get almost everything you want without too much walking. The tram stop and bus stop are just opposite the main entrance. One thing most appeals to me is that the staffs here are really nice. I love here!
