Getting to class couldn’t be easier as Sheffield Hallam University is located directly opposite the residence, whilst The University of Sheffield is only a twenty-minute walk away. Sheffield train station is only a nine-minute walk away and the city centre is just a three-minute walk away, providing convenient living.
You can enjoy having fantastic social spaces including, a TV snug, roof terrace, games room, lounge and gym.

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.

Loved living here first and second year, made my experience so much better
Hi, Thankyou for the review. We're super pleased to hear that you chose to live with us throughout part of your university journey! Kind regards, Fresh
The building and staff are amazing they are so helpful. Think in my first year it would have been nice to do a few social events to get to know other first years/ residents but I didn’t see any. However all the facilities are well kept and easy to use.
Thankyou for taking the time to leave us a positive review, we're pleased to hear that you've had a good experience with our staff! We do host events at site under our Be Wellbeing programme so it's a shame they went a miss! We would've loved to see you there.
Staff members are lovely and always really helpful, the living spaces are a great value for money. Security on site at all times so it’s very safe l. Would recommend.
Thankyou for the review, we're happy to hear that you would reccommend living with us!
Best place to stay, so close to city campus. Great for people who want that little bit of extra sleep 😂
What can we say, being close to campus really does have its perks ;) on a more serious note - thankyou so much the positive review, we really appreciate it!
I have loved living in the gate, all the staff are friendly and approachable, will miss living here in second year!
Thankyou for the positive review! We're sad to see you go but hope you've left with plenty of good memories and friends...and theres always third year if you wish to move back ;)
I live in a studio apartment at The Gate that I share with my boyfriend. We have loved living at The Gate this year because of the amazing location which is just a 5 minute walk away from the city campus. I love living at The Gate because of the amazing social spaces on offer (which are available every hour of the day) and the lovely rooms which offer great views of Sheffield city centre and beyond. The building also offers a lovely study space with a printer that residents can use at a very small cost and a great roof Terrance that my and boyfriend have enjoyed many sunny evenings on while admiring the amazing views. We have enjoyed living here so much this year that we have decided to book another studio for next year, while we continue with our studies. I couldn’t recommend living at The Gate enough to anyone who is starting at Sheffield Hallam university in September.
Hi, thankyou for taking the time to review us. We're super pleased to hear that you have loved living with us at The Gate and we can't wait to see you again soon!
Gym isn’t 24 hours. Have to talk to someone to swap your ID to get a gym pass or the hoover. Had I known those 2 things then I wouldn’t have moved in. The washing is very expensive, couldn’t afford it a lot. I thought the roof terrace thing was a smoking area, turns out it’s not and there is no area for a smoker to socialise. Overall, I highly regret moving. My room was tiny and felt like a prisoner all year. The staff are friendly and pretty caring, they were the best things about the place. My desk chair broke early after moving, I was charged £50 even though I did not do anything to it. Bathroom keeps flooding and other problems I refused to inform anyone about because I didn’t want to get charged for something that wasn’t my fault again.
The BEST place to stay as a first year sheffield hallam student. As a city campus student, this couldn’t be more central to the uni buildings. The team working at the gate are absolutely amazing, always hosting fun things for us and interacting with residents on their social media! A welcome party with free pizza and freebie Fridays?! So so good. Any issues we’ve ever had regarding maintenance etc are sorted out really promptly and it’s really easy to log these via the app. The rooms are lovely and really modern. And there’s plenty of options for social spaces outside of your flat, the common room and the sky lounge, the gym!! Would 100% recommend & if I didn’t have a house sorted for second year, I’d be staying here again! :)
Great facilities and staff, love this place!
Staffs are very nice and helpful.
Very good and modern, great maintenance and reception team.
Would recommend for other students
great place, would definitely recommend to my friends
It’s really nice here! There’s usually something to do within the week and the study spaces are so good. Rooms are kind of small but have enough space to store everything :) Me and my flat are staying again next year!
Great accommodation, modern and big rooms
great place to live first year!
Would book again and recommend to others
great accommodation, good location as well which is very convenient and close to the university as well as the city, would recommend to any new students
Very nice place to stay would recommend to new students
Location is excellent with very helpful staff
Overall high quality and really good service. My service requests are always done early by the next day. All rooms have a comfortable and modern design. Price is one of the highest I saw but is completely worth every penny I would say.
It's a great place to stay, Very Cooperative staff maintain this property very well, the studio apartments are so comfy and there are so many other amenities like communal kitchen, gym, common rooms, and study room which makes our life very easy.😊😊
The staff really help when needed, which I think is key!
Had a very pleasant experience here. Great location and facilities.
Pretty good location is crazy good.
Nice staff and parcel collection is easy
Great accommodation in the heart of the city
Overall great, with good staff and management as well as good security
Great location. Good for value for money spent. Receptionists are very friendly and helpful. It feels like home
Really fun place to stay, thoroughly enjoyed it here and would definitely rebook
The gate staff are very friendly and always helpful. There are lots of cool spaces to enjoy like the roof terrace and the sky lounge. Always spotless and very clean.
So far my experience has been great, amazing staff and a very welcoming environment. All the social spaces are great I can't wait to spend more time there in summer. The Gate has everything I could need and more.
Pretty good, great location particularly if you’re at city campus. Staff are lovely and helpful.
Great location, friendly staff, really clean. any issues are dealt with pretty much immediately. lived here for two years
The gate is a nice place to live, it’s in a convenient area so you’re close to both uni and town, the girls at reception are always so friendly and helpful. the kitchen/lounge area is very spacious so it doesn’t feel cramped when you and all your flatmates are in there at once. the rooms are very soundproof from your next door flat mate and outside the windows too.
This is a fab place to stay if you are a student based at Sheffield Hallam City Campus. It’s right in the centre of Sheffield with exceptional links to the city centre such as the shopping strip known as The Moor as well as knew small businesses that sell amazing food options which is all culturally different. The staff are very helpful with any problem you have and the maintenance team are rapid at fixing problems in your living space. The reception staff are so friendly and polite whenever you go to them for any problem. There is many student events advertised around the building that help you meet new people with similar interests to you. There is also great common rooms on every floor to help you meet your neighbours. I have loved living here and would recommend this place to any first year students up to your final year as students.
Great view from the room and great location right next to university
Nice and friendly staff The bedrooms and kitchens are spacious and worth the money
The Gate is a really good place to stay, it’s in an amazing location everything like the uni, shops, restaurants are all a really short walk. It is on the more expensive side but in my opinion worth it compared to what i’ve heard/seen about other accommodations. The bathrooms are pristine they look like hotel ones and the bedrooms and kitchens are really nice and modern. Ive really enjoyed my experience at the gate and have booked for next year! :)
The gate was a nice place to stay for my first year of uni. I am moving to a cheaper one for next year because this one was too expensive. The rooms and kitchen are modern and nice but little things like not having our own hoover, kettle or iron in our shared flat is disappointing for such an expensive accommodation. One of the reasons i’m moving to a less expensive one which includes all of these. The staff were all friendly and I always felt safe and secure as soon as I entered. The location was perfect so close to city campus, clubs, the Moor and restaurants. The social spaces were large but I rarely used them. Overall, I enjoyed my time at the Gate it was just a shame I ended up with messy flat mates who made me not want to cook and eat because of how disgusting the kitchen was. I sort of wish (even though it is the residents responsibility) that the staff could have tried to talk to our flat seen as a few of us had complained. But other than that I liked the Gate.
The Gate is by far the best accommodation in Sheffield
It's awesome especially the common room and location.
Thank you very much for your review, the team here really appreciates it and we’re glad you enjoyed your time with us~ Regards, Fresh
It’s a great location but some of the management issue could be better but the people have been really helpful to us

I think the gate is really nice and comfortable to live in. Very quiet at night too. The interior design is also very simple. Combining various factors, it is really a very cost-effective accommodation

Upon booking my application the staff were very helpful and understanding of my situation. I received brilliant service.
Hello, We are so happy to hear that we provided some great service. We hope you love living with us here at The Gate! Thank you, The Gate Residents Team :)
This is lovely accommodation. The gate was willing to give me a place to stay when I was urgently looking for a short term rental. Everyone here is warm and welcoming. The flats are clean and well equipped and very convenient. The layout of the rooms is also very comfortable and makes you feel at home. All in all, I love it here! Would love to stay here for a long time. I would recommend the gate to everyone coming to Sheffield.
Hello! Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying your time with us. Kind Regards, The Gate Residents Team :)
Rooms are very nice but would recommend making sure you look before booking. some rooms are dark and don’t get the most light, same with the kitchens. lots of study areas and stuff. overall a great place to live in
Hello, Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that you are enjoying you time here at The Gate! The Gate Residents Team :)
I’ve spent the last two years living here. The staff are exceptionally helpful, always polite and willing the help. The building and rooms are modern, clean and fit for purpose. The facilities are brilliant. The price is slightly more expensive than other student properties but considering the facilities and service is it worth it.
Hello, Thank you for your review. It's great to hear that the staff have had such a positive influence on your stay here at The Gate. Thank you for your feeback on living with us at The Gate! The Gate Residents Team
The best part about this place is the location and the staff
Hello! Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback. The Gate Residents Team :)
It’s a really good building to live in especially for first years, gives good opportunities to engage with new people who are also living in the building
Hello! Thank you for your review. We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying your stay with us. The Gate Residents Team
Pleasant, modern student accommodation. However rooms are a lot smaller than made out and struggle to fit two people in. In a flat of 9 but kitchen only has 2 fridge/freezers so not even a shelf each. Also cupboard space is minimal. On several occasions the staff in reception have wrongly placed my parcels with another flats number although clearly stating the right one, when pulled up they joked it off. Staff can be abrupt and not very helpful, and although advertised to do social events not many are held. Apart from this it’s in a great location for the city campus and many things nearby, also facilities such as the gym and common areas are great to use.
Hello member667015, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review about your stay at The Gate. We appreciate all feedback and take your comments on board. We are sorry to hear that you feel the rooms are a little on the smaller side, and that the cupboard space in our 9-bed apartments is minimal. If you would ever like to discuss this in person, a member of the residents team is always happy to help. In relation to your parcel’s being placed on the wrong shelf, as you can imagine we have a high volume of parcels coming in and out of reception on a daily basis. We will ensure all members of the team are aware and are more thorough in our parcel logging process. We encourage all our residents to follow us on our socials in order to stay up to date with what is happening within the property. We do our best to communicate this via posters around the property and through our Check In emails. Please make sure you follow The Gate to ensure you don’t miss out on anything. We are pleased to hear that you enjoy our common areas and gym space. If you would like to speak with a member of the team regarding any of the points raised, please feel free to get in touch. Thank you, The Gate Residents Team
Been an absolute joy living here this year! I had an absolute nightmare with my last accommodation but moving to the gate was the best decision I’ve made. The staff are all very welcoming and resolve any issues you have promptly. The modern building is amazing with so much space to socialise and study. I chose a studio this year but have socialised in other shared flats and every room is well worth the money. I would definitely recommend The gate to anyone, I’d say it’s the best accommodation in Sheffield! My only complaint is that studios do not have an oven like shared flats do, so I invested in an air fryer (Studios have hobs and a combi-microwave), but for £40 an air fryer will do most jobs anyways!
Hi Connor, Thank you for the great review! It's so lovely to hear how much you enjoy living at The Gate! Thank you for your feedback around the Ovens, and a great tip with the Air Fryer! Just a reminder, we do have the shared kitchen space on the Lower Ground, opposite the gtym with an oven in if you ever wish to book it out to use! Just pop to reception if/when you would like to use the space! Tha Gate Accommodation Team :)
Great building and really close to city centre and uni
Hello, Thank you for leaving us a review about your experience of The Gate. We are happy to hear you love the building just as much as us! The Gate Residents Team :)

An amazing place to live with such wonderful staff
Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you are enjoying your stay with us! The Gate Residents Team
Absolutely superb!!! Great value for money, staff are caring and attentive; I feel as if they actually care unlike other place where it’s just a pay check! Haven’t had much of a social experience due to COVID, however there have been online quiz nights and treasure hunts which were very entertaining to say the least 😂
Hi Lewis99, thank you for your lovely review of The Gate. We have passed on your comments to the entire team who send their thanks for the lovely message. We hope to welcome you again soon to experience the building and all the social spaces in full! Thank you, The Gate Accommodation Team
As a third year student, this has been the ideal place for me to live in the last year of my study. Central to Sheffield there is close transport links to my workplace and to travel home, as well as easy access to the university campus and shops and restaurants in town. It’s a shame that living in the pandemic we haven’t been able to make proper use of the facilities but I’m sure they will thrive in the future, the reception staff have been great at handling any troubles - thankyou!!
Hello, thank you very mch for your review from your time living here at The Gate! We are happy to hear that the accommodation tam were able to help you with any troubles you may have faced. We hope you enjoyed living with us for your final year of university and we wish you the best of luck for your future!
Stayed during the pandemic so couldn’t access all facilities, however if we were able to it would have been a better overall experience. I did enjoy my stay however despite this and the staff provided a friendly atmosphere. The building was also very modernised and clean and the views from the upper levels made the stay worthwhile
Hello! Thank you for your review of The Gate. We really appreciate your feedback and we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay depsite the government restrictions! Its also great to hear that you loved the view from out higher floors. Thanks again, The Accommodation Team
Great location as it’s next to the city centre, the rooms are nice especially the toilets. The facilities are also pretty good.
