🚎 Hot Facts About Xie Fei's Renting Experience

Sheffield has two famous universities - the University of Sheffield and Hallam University, so there are many high-quality student apartments and dormitories to choose from here. If you're looking for the ideal place to live, here are some suggestions: ∇ Choosing School Dorms: You can select room types from the official websites of the University of Sheffield and Hallam University, but the availability of school dorms is limited, hard to apply for, and more expensive than off-campus options. ♩ Planning to Find Housing on Your Own: ✅ Types to Consider: Sheffield offers two types of student accommodations: 1⃣ student apartments (usually managed by specialized companies), 2⃣ houses or flats (shared by several people, requiring finding rental agencies or intermediaries). Advantages of off-campus student apartments and houses or flats: high cost-effectiveness, long lease terms (covering until graduation ceremonies), and the ability to choose roommates for houses or flats. Disadvantages: finding them can be tricky, comparability may vary, and you might need to handle bills yourself. ✅ Choosing Locations: Regardless of the area, both the University of Sheffield and Hallam University are within a twenty-minute commute. The farther, the cheaper, and the universities provide safety services like the Women’s Minibus Service and Safe Taxi Scheme for students living farther away, so safety isn't a big concern as long as it's not more than 2 miles. ✅ Selecting Areas: City Centre near SHU's City Campus and TUoS's St. George's Church Campus, Broomhill, Broomhall near SHU's Southwest Collegiate Campus, Walkley, Crooksmoor north of TUoS's Western Bank Campus, Hunters Bar located southwest of TUoS's Southwest Campus, Upperthorpe north of TUoS. Whether renting school dorms or finding housing on your own, it's essential to pay attention to the facilities. Before signing any lease agreement, make sure all the facilities in the house meet your needs, such as whether there's a washing machine, refrigerator, stove, etc. Additionally, pay attention to the safety and maintenance of the house.
