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.

i honestly feel like i am living a luxurious lifestyle, the building is great all the facilities work great, and there are so many social spaces
Ive moved in on the 21st September and I have been pleased with my stay here since. Every issue I have had in my room has been fixed by management properly. It is a nice community in here, where I can feel safe and comfortable. The location of this accommodation is also great. Not fat from any store or the university.
Overall it's worth giving the fees for the accomodation.
This accommodation is great for location, being incredibly central to everything. However it is not worth the money. The cleaning is not done within the flats at all leaving us all to hoover and clean not just our rooms but hallways and etc on our own. the heating was off for three weeks and we had no ways of being warm as they didn't offer heaters until the last days before they fixed the heating. However the facilities are amazing and the gym and library in particular are great spaces!!
I’ve been staying here for almost 3 weeks now, and unfortunately, my experience has been disappointing. The heater has not functioning at all during my stay. When I first arrived, the hot water also had issues. I also inquired about a portable heater as a temporary solution, but I was met with no options. I was only told that they were “working hard” to fix the problem. With the temperatures drop significantly, it is becoming unbearable, and I have noticed that some residents are falling ill due to the cold. I hope they resolve this situation soon.
They do not turn on the heating, claiming it’s externally controlled, and despite the cold weather, the heating has not been on for over a month. The management is incredibly inconsiderate, particularly the assistant manager, Ashleigh, who suggested that my health struggles are my own fault for not disclosing my condition before moving in. Had I known this accommodation was in such poor condition—where basic necessities like heating are not provided—I would have made different arrangements. For the price, there are far better options available. Its has only a good exterior, the rooms are small, and the flats lack basic necessities like a vacuum cleaner. The maintenance and complaint system is inefficient, and the only helpful staff members are those working the night shifts. International students should be particularly cautious before booking here. Think twice before choosing this place
Good to near the moor market. Heating is sometimes in short supply.

Stayed here for 2 years and it’s genuinely the best accommodation in Sheffield.
I am staying in cosmos for more than 6 months.It is the best accomodation in Sheffield compared to other accomodations.
Feel like home and good location
I'm currently for almost 6 months here, it was an exceptional experience from start. The accommodation is perfectly situated in the city centre and nearby public transports.The staff here are friendly and helpful. The amenities are top notch overall provided an outstanding experience.
i have enjoyed my stay at cosmos, safe environment has great atmosphere and the facilities are really good would highly recommend
I've been living at Cosmos for a while now. Its a lovely accommodation located reasonable within reach of the university campus, shopping and social amenities. The management team is incredibly helpful and prompt to help with almost anything a student could need when moving in as well as during the stay here. Common rooms are always clean and welcoming. A major perk are the social events, they given so many opportunities to just hang out with friends and meet new people too!
Cosmos is a great accommodation I moved in later in the academic year but it was worth it because cosmos is clean friendly and in such a good location for me. The beds and rooms are a good size and the staff is very helpful and kind with assisting you with things. Very very happy living here
I have lived at Cosmos for 6 months. The hospitality and warmth of the staff are impressive, and the comfortable and well-equipped rooms make my stay even more enjoyable. The accommodation's location is perfect, as it provides easy access to the campus and other local amenities. The management team is always keen to ensure the residents' safety and well-being, making the environment even more supportive and secure.
Came in with less expectations but the experience is greater than I have imagined. Best place for students. Safety and features loaded !
It’s the best and perfect place any one can ask for. For me, it’s my second home. It’s just so nice
Definitely the best accommodation in Sheffield, it’s so nice. Definitely worth staying here.
The staff is very friendly and welcoming. However, the conditions of en suites are horrible. There is no deep cleaning of the facilities before the arrival of new tenants. When I checked in (09.09.23) And saw my room I was shocked. It was dirty and my mattress had a vomit stain on it. The wall next to my bed was so dirty that I touched it… and stocked to it. The kitchen was dusty and definitely not clean. The fridge smelled horrible and the whole freezer was covered in ice. Definitely will not recommend this place because of the unsanitary condition of life.
Very nice place! All the staff at reception are friendly and dedicated. Especially Louise and Ashleigh! Thanks a lot!
All the staffs here are very kind and helpful:)) I really enjoy to stay at cosmos.
one of the best student accommodation in sheffield
the location is nearby the market street which is very convenient
This is such a great place to live the environment is alway clean and the staff is very welcoming there is a multitude of facilities
Really nice place to live and the staff are all so lovely. Has really good amenities and is in a really good location too.
Lovely people and staff but wifi needs work, digressing excellent experience all round, would stay here again
Cosmos is THE best accommodation in Sheffield! You will find comfort and everything else you need in cosmos and the staff are amazing especially Louise and Ashleigh they always come in with the brightest smiles, positive energy and will always get you laughing even if you don’t want you! I would honestly recommend Cosmos accommodation to all my friends and family moving into Sheffield :)
I loved living here it’s a really good location for students and there are social activities to meet new people love ash and Louise they are so friendly and check up on you whenever you see them I would definitely recommend living here.
Cosmos is student friendly and it is in great location, right next to town. The staff are very helpful and understanding. Very comfortable stay and issues are resolved quickly. Louise and Ash have been especially helpful as staff
I love living here at the COSMOS. Reception is lovely and always there whenever I need them.
Thank you for such a lovely review! - Sophie, Cosmos General Manager
Worst experience. Haven't seen such small rooms in 25 years of life. Have spent 7 months in depression just because of this accommodation. Life is hell after staying here. I will make sure to recommend students not to book a room in cosmos ever, eapecially in student life. It is iust fancy on the exterior, the size of the rooms will eat you pushing you to the corner. Maliciously disappointinh experience.
It is a shame you have not enjoyed your stay here. Our advertised photos are the actual rooms here, we do not imply they are any bigger than the actual photo. Our show rooms are actual rooms too in order for students to see exactly what they are getting before they book. If we have rooms available that students can upgrade into once they move into we are more than happy to facilitate this. 7 months would indicate you moved in in January, this would have been when the building was almost sold out and the rooms remaining would have been limited to chose from. Student Mental Health is taken very seriously here at Cosmos and if the way you were feeling had been flagged to us, we would have done everything we could to improve things for you. Unfortunately we haven't been made aware of your disappointment and therefore, haven't been able to act on this. - Sophie, Cosmos General Manager
It wasn’t the worst experience I’ve ever had but it was far from great. The social spaces were great apart from the fact that you couldn’t play basketball or pool past 8 o’clock which I thought was a bit ridiculous considering students study during the day. Maintenance was just overall poor, it took 4 months to get a toilet seat fixed, and a long time to get the shower unclogged as they clog up quite quickly. A lot of the staff were just ignorant towards me and my friends, however some of the staff were polite and nice. Finally, when I first moved into my room the shared kitchen was dirty and far from clean and when I discussed this with my flatmates they said the staff blamed me for the dirtiness of the kitchen! I won’t be staying here again and I won’t be recommending this accommodation to anyone, nothing personal but my stay was very unpleasant.
Thank you for your review, we always appreciate hearing feedback on things we can improve on and change. The basketball times were changed mid year, the reason for this was students allowing people into the court that do not live here and causing anti social behaviour, this then was disturbing paying students. This has been put back to being able to use the court when ever aslong as it is booked at reception. Pool has always been available 24/7, you just need to pop you student card into reception. People have the pool equipment every night with no issue. I have checked back on the forms and can see 1 toilet seat raised this year which was replaced the same week once the delivery had come in. If you could email me your room number and confirmation of how this was reported I can look into this further. We get alot of blocked shower drains, this is normal for this type of building however, we act on these within our SLA and these response times are tracked and monitored. We understand there were issues with the turn around of kitchen cleaning upon move in, these were all done over check in weekend and if we received any complaints after this the cleaning company were immediately responsive. If you could email me at cosmos@crm-students.com with further details I can look into this for you. Thank you, Sophie, Cosmos General Manager
The rooms are not in move-in condition and was not cleaned when I moved in. They are slow in responding to maintenance issues.
We understand this review to be in be in retaliation to this student being warned for breaching their tenancy agreement several times.
Great place to live in. Everything is nice.
Thank you for such a great review!
Very nice accomodation. The management is sweet and helpful. A little more expensive than other accomodations but is on a great location which is truely a blessing.
Thank you for the review :)
It's definitely on the pricier side, but I believe it has been worth it for the facilities. I would say the breakfast is quite poor and not what was suggested on the website. Excellent location, close to Sainsbury's and 15 min walk to both Uni of and Hallam city campus. Probably like a 20 min walk to colligate campus. Reception and Security are absolutely lovely people who have truly been an asset to Cosmos. Once cleaned it is immaculate. Unfortunately, some residents don't feel like placing items in the bin, literally right in front of them so it kind of ruins it for everyone else. Some social spaces are slow to be fixed (eg. gaming room) but otherwise perfect and lots of study places available. Loads of events on, probably 1 or 2 a month (pancakes for pancake day, snooker competitions etc.) Encourages everyone down and allows those in studios a chance to socialise with others. The only area that doesn't get Wi-Fi is the roof garden, otherwise has incredibly fast and wide coverage.
Thanks so much for your review!
As a postgrad student moving to a new university following the end of my undergrad, Cosmos has been a really great place to live for the past nine months, it’s well situated for night life, walking to the University of Sheffield campus and shopping close by. The staff that work here are really friendly and welcoming, it’s great coming back from uni to a friendly face that’s up for a chat. I’m in a premium studio and I love the amount of natural light my room gets and the amount of workspaces in communal areas that allow for a change of scenery from my room if I don’t want to head up to the library, these spaces also provide extra opportunities to meet new people! I also think it’s great that the staff organise a wide variety of social opportunities so that there will definitely be an event that you will want to participate in. Any issues that have cropped up, with a simple email, the accommodation team will get it sorted for you quickly. 😊
Thank you for the 5 star review :):) - Sophie, General Manager, Cosmos
