I’m in my final year. I came back to this place for my final year to live in a studio after I previously lived here in my first year of university in a flat of 6. This is a great accommodation with 24/7 security, who are friendly and great. They also offer breakfasts to go to in the mornings, which is a lovely addition to this accommodation. They also host many events throughout the year to get people involved. As for the studio, it’s a great perfect-sized space for a person to live. Loads of storage and a great-sized desk to work at, especially for someone who studies art and design.

I couldn’t have spent my first year of uni at a better accommodation! My studio was perfect for me, and I had the best view right next to my bed. All members of the staff are extremely lovely and kind, they will be your best mates whilst you live there and you will not find a better accommodation in Sheffield than this for sure! They host lots of free events, and the 9th-floor terrace in the sun makes you feel like you’re on holiday. 1000% recommended! I must say, no place is better than this.

This is my second year here and I love it; the previous year, I stayed in a 6-bed flat, and the rooms were spacious and nicely designed with a huge desk which is perfect for uni work and lots of storage! We had one of the biggest kitchens in the building with 3 fridges and freezers for 6 people, which was perfect, and we even had a dishwasher. This year I’m in a play studio, and it’s my favourite by far! My room is huge, and the kitchen is a nice size. The freezer is quite small however, this is normal for studios, and it’s very airy and bright. The staff last year were fantastic, and this year, they have new staff who are lovely and very happy to help whenever I’ve had any questions or issues; they have been super quick to help out. They host some amazing events, including dog life drawing; they had bunnies come in for some animal therapy and often give out free food and drinks and free breakfast 5 days a week. Although it’s on the more expensive side but it’s definitely worth it!

My experience here so far has truly been amazing. From the beginning, every single person on the staff has made such a huge effort to get to know me, which has only helped to make my apartment really feel like home. Not only this, but all of the effort put into the events held every month, such as yoga, choosing the Christmas Trees and the INSANE ice luge, really shines through and is massively appreciated (thanks!!!!). There is never a moment in which I feel like the staff haven’t gone above and beyond to ensure that I am happy and comfortable in this new environment, and for that, I couldn’t recommend this accommodation anymore if I tried!
